#InternationalWomensDay: Girl Bosses I Admire & Respect

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!!!!! The older I get the more respect I have for this holiday. Being one of three daughters, I grew up with quite a bit of that feminist energy, and now that I’m a business owner I have even more respect for the women I know who are out there killing it in their fields. I wanted to use today to honor the women – who I’ve worked with, who I’ve admired from afar, who I’ve competed against, who I’ve simply grabbed coffee with, and…

2018 Biz Recap: Income Plus Highs, Lows, & More!

Hi friends!! Happy 2019! 2018 was the first full year I was a freelancer full-time. There were lots of ups and downs, moments of panic when I thought my hair would fall out and the world was ending, and of course the highest of high moments when I felt like Steve Jobs. I asked you guys back in October (around my 1-year business anniversary) what questions you guys had regarding starting a full-time freelance career and that is what this post will center around. I also…

Freelance Income & Traffic Report: October 2018

You guys. October was EXCELLENT. I went to Hong Kong & Bali for two weeks to travel and (most importantly) TAKE A REAL VACATION!!! This was a trip I had looked forward to for months. I had it booked since February if that is any indication of my excitement lol. BUT I also kind of dreaded it…. I read a quote somewhere that was saying how if you can’t take an actual vacation without working, then you’re just self-employed, not a business owner. This just struck…

Now Hiring Social Media Internship: Spring 2019

It’s that time again! Internship app szn!  It has been such a pleasure working with my interns for the last 3 semesters and I’m ready to hit the ground running for the next group! Things to note: the internship is unpaid and must be based out of Scottsdale, AZ. More than likely, you’ll be required through your school to receive school credit for the internship, which will determine the number of hours you’ll need to work each week (approx. 8-15). However, some of the work will be able to…

Freelance Income & Traffic Report: September 2018

If you follow me on social media you know I just got back from a two-week vacation to Bali & Hong Kong with my sister! It was amazing and such a great escape from life & work (for the most part). I did check emails & reply to some basically every week day, but I was able to delegate most other tasks to my assistant Haley and my interns. They were such a big part of me being able to take this much needed break and…

How To Get Into NYFW (& How Much It Costs) As A Blogger With 14k Instagram Followers

It’s every blogger’s dream to go to fashion week, right?! Well, this year I had my first opportunity to attend and I seized it like no other. My friend Monica (she’s a publicist and I was on her podcast here) was going to NYFW and invited me to go toward the end of July or early August. I had enough Southwest points for a free flight (if you don’t have their credit card, it’s amazing), and we found a deal for a hotel in Midtown (The…
