I've also learnt to say 'no' as I've gotten older, and I have found that I am happier. I think I say 'yes' to make others happy and not hurt them but it hurts more when you have to disappoint them cos you can't. Also, the decision you made to say 'no' was a good call. <br /><br />Better safe than sorry, and like Linda Kris said, better to review a 'no' to a 'yes' than otherwise. <br /><br />Good job on the blog Berry Dakara, it's quite interesting and your Instagram page layout is quite genius, lol. <br /><br />qouhsocial.wordpress.comIvoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191230506641819792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-10160675133725193372016-10-16T23:10:19.383-04:002016-10-16T23:10:19.383-04:00Oh wow, I've never seen it like that - saying ...Oh wow, I've never seen it like that - saying no first, before graduating to a yes.

The offer was fine, but in my research of the company, they had a bad start where customers were very upset with them and unable to get their money back when they didn't like the first version of the product.Berry Dakarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228332437019976580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-86916111819911396972016-10-16T05:43:15.761-04:002016-10-16T05:43:15.761-04:00Hi Berry,

I'd rather say a 'no' and then review it to a 'yes' than to say a 'yes' and be stuck with it cos no one likes to hear a 'no' after you've given a 'yes'. Myself inclusive, it can really be disappointing.

I had to learn the hard way that you give less than your best when you take on too much at once. You will also be doing the person you say no to a favour, to be honest.<br /><br />I probably would have made the same decision you did, Berry.

Unless you want to make your life miserable. I think the company's offer was fair enough. A review in exchange for products and a giveaway for your readers doesn't quite sound like a scam to me. Except there's something more to it which I don't get. Learning to say no is essential!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.preciouscore.com/" rel="nofollow">PreciousCore.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280762392483631241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-86613027147995250332016-10-11T15:33:03.915-04:002016-10-11T15:33:03.915-04:00Thanks Olaa!

Sometimes you're over-extended, or too busy, or really just don't feel like it and I think that's okay.
