Why You Need to Experience Your Own Blogging Journey

July 31, 2017

Last week, I tweeted out a hot take that’s been on my mind for awhile.  “New bloggers, please stop sending messages to bloggers you don’t know expecting them to consult with you for free. It’s taken a lot of trial and error to get to this point on my own, you need to experience that journey too.”  I expected to immediately see some backlash, but everyone’s responses were in agreement.  Your business and blogging journey should be unique to you!

Just Throw it in the Bag: Trendlee Chloé Tote Review

July 24, 2017

There comes a time when you’ll choose to purchase investment pieces.  For me, I always do a ton of research beforehand.  Factors that help me decide on these purchases are: quality, versatility, and functionality as well as price.  Recently, I test drove a bag from Trendlee, a designer handbag resell service & today I have a Chloé tote review on the Chloé Alison East West Tote.
