Blog Tour

A while back, I was nominated for a Liebster Award by Michelle Nguyen of Midwest Beauty on a Budget, a blogger with impeccable style. We met in a beauty + fashion group on Facebook, and I have been envious of her wardrobe ever since! Sorry, Michelle, I totally dropped the ball on that one…

I was given the chance to redeem myself thanks to my obsession with Instagram, where Liv found me! Liv is the voice behind Unbelievably Human + my BBFF.  Her energy is undeniably contagious and there are SO many times she says something and I’m like, “YASSS!” or “Get out of my head!” (And yes, I had to spell it that way, because it is THAT serious.)

Thank you Liv, for being my BBFF, and also for giving me the chance to be a part of this blog tour!

What are you working on?

Currently, I am working on a style post that’s totally different then the ones I’ve been doing. I don’t want to give too much away, but it was inspired by People StyleWatch.
Aside from that, a giveaway, and a couple of other ideas, I am really just trying to focus on posting more often.

How does my work differ from other of its type/genre?

In a lot of ways what I do is very similar to others with similar blogs. BUT, I like to think that I’m more fun. I try to be informative + real, while giving you a little bit more of my cornball personality.

Why do I write/create what I do?

In all honest, because I needed a hobby that would last longer than a day. I mean, I have an English degree that I wasn’t really using, and in my book, this counts!

I really enjoy blogging. I allows to me tell people about things I care about. I know that the people that care about the same things can read it and the ones who don’t care, don’t have to. This is not always the case irl. When I talk, you listen. You don’t have a choice. When I’m passionate, I get LOUD.

How does your writing process work?

I’d love to be like, oh my process is A, B, C…but it’s not. I write about what excites me. New makeup, clothes, a fun date night. I try to plan ahead as best I can, but really my best blog posts are when I share what I am currently experiencing. I’ve also become aware of the fact that I am very easily inspired so when I do plan I come up with like five bazillion ideas, some good, other not so much…

 

Next up on the blog tour:

Christa of Beatrice Clay | I know I bring up Alt Summit quite a bit, but it is because I came away with so much for the experience. Including new friends. One friend in particular, Christa, was one of those people you meet and just know that you met them for a reason. She is so inspirational in a way that I can’t even begin to explain. One look at her blog and you’ll understand! Need a hug? Her Hump Day Hugs are simply the best!

packing + prepping for Alt SLC

When I heard that Martha Stewart, yes THE Martha Stewart, was going to be a keynote speaker at this year’s Altitude Summit Salt Lake City I died. And then I entered every single contest in attempt to score the chance to attend.

I must be a cat, because I then found out that not only did I win (Thank you, Instagram and #altsummit_yellow!), but also that Joy Cho, yes THE Joy Cho, was going to be the other keynote speaker (Note to self: Make sure to pack Blog Inc.)! I died twice more.

Booked my flight, roundtrip. Had a minor panic attack (literally, anxiety will do that to you) after learning that the hotel where Alt SLC is taking place was full. Thankfully, I was able to find a hotel right down the street.

Prepping for Alt SLC was more or less a breeze. Blog cards? Check. Print schedule + highlight first, second, and third choice sessions? Check + color coded.

Packing is another story.

Did you know that you can only have one (1) quart sized ziplock bag for liquids? AND that each of those liquids must be in a container of less than 3.4oz? Seriously?? Who came up with this?! Clearly not a female + at the very least not me!

I have only ever flown internationally, and this trip I do not want to risk checking any luggage as I’ll only be in Utah for four days.

Now what to pack? What should I wear?

Slightly larger minor panic attack.

Others attending the conference (including Thrift Me Pretty’s Stasia Savasuk) have been very reassuring about not worrying about what to wear, but I can’t help it…t’s what I do on the daily!

I almost always overthink my outfits, have been known to over-pack, and now I’m trying to fit it all into a carry-on. This should be interesting…
