Back in the golden days of blogging, I used to follow all of my favorites via Google Reader, an RSS feed. As it does with many of its (presumably money-losing) free products, Google shut down Reader in 2013. And as long as there've been RSS feeds, I've relied on Feedburner, another free Google product, to publish mine. The good news is that Feedburner is not (yet) going away entirely—if you follow this blog on a traditional RSS feeder like Feedly or on Bloglovin, you can still continue to do so. But, if you subscribe to my posts via email, sadly, that service will be going away in July.
But the even better news is that I'm launching a newsletter! It's something I've been thinking about doing for awhile, so this whole Feedburner thing just kind of expedited the process. I am still tinkering with the format, but the newsletter will of course include a link to my newest post, as well as new, exclusive content like things I've bought that I love, current obsessions, life hacks, and more things I don't feature enough of on the blog. My plan is to send it out every Friday, which is my second-favorite day of the week (I won't bother you on a Saturday, I promise). If you are already on my subscriber list, you will be automatically transferred over to my new mailing list—yay! And if you're not yet a Cheryl Shops email subscriber, guess what, you can become one right now!

| 6. | Prize Drawing |
| On or about June 25, 2021, the Sponsor will select potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received.

The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.

Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages. |

What an awesome giveaway! Good luck to everyone in the US who can enter :)
I really need to think about doing something like this now feedburner is going away, I need to get a move on with it! Other than my once weekly email to people who join the link up I don't have like a list of subscribers or anything or send any emails myself - I just subscribe in feedly and forget about all the other methods people might use, oops!
Hope you had a great weekend! It was a busy one here! :)

Very nice article, I enjoyed reading your post, very nice share, I want to twit this to my followers. Thanks!. best crypter
Getprospect's email verification, which can be found at this article , has worked quite well for me as an alternative to Snov.io. From what I've seen, it's trustworthy, effective, and cheap. I no longer have to spend as much time verifying the authenticity of emails or making sure they are sent to the correct addresses. I am impressed with the high degree of accuracy of the results and the low number of false positives. I really like how quickly and readily the staff responds to my queries. I highly recommend Getprospect's email verification if you need a solid and effective method of verifying emails.
