2018 was one of the best years ever, personally and professionally. It’s made me excited to see what 2019 has in store! We say this every year, but WHERE DID THE TIME GO? I can’t believe it’s officially 2019, and I’m internally freaking out a little bit. 2018 was such a great year for me, […]
Bloggers That Also Have Traditional 9-to-5 Jobs
Sometimes I don’t think those who have traditional 9-to-5 jobs on top of their blogs are given enough credit. So today, I wanted to share more gals who are just like me. I, of course, still really appreciate those who took the leap and quit their traditional jobs to blog full time. Their bravery is […]
Imagine Instagram Didn’t Recover From The Outage
While that would have NEVER happened…it is fun to think about what COULD have happened. A few weeks ago, Instagram went through their longest outage in HISTORY (maybe I’m being dramatic, but I think that’s right). And the world literally went into panic mode. Myself included.

How To Show Up For Your Community As An Influencer
There’s a lot more influencers can do than persuade you to buy something. I got a message from a follower saying how they recently unfollowed a lot of influencers because of two things: 1. Mental health and 2. Their wallet. Naturally, it REALLY got me thinking. Like holy crap. Well, I was, at first, really […]
HOLY CRAP: I’ve Been Blogging For 8 Years!!!
My first blog was called Pink Champagne Problems (anyone around for that???). I came up with the idea with a friend (hi, Claire) at Shake Shack while living in Virginia for college. And wow. A lot has changed. I think by now we all know that the influencer industry is very much here to stay. […]
How I Feel About Taking A Month Long Break During The Busiest Season For Influencers
I don’t love announcing departures because I’m not an airport (lol, I love that joke). But I unintentionally took a month long break over here. To be honest, during the first week of my time away from blogging, I felt pretty guilty. Like I was going to screw up everything I’ve ever worked towards in […]
