How To Prepare For A Blog Conference

How to prepare for a blog conference

The other day I typed a whole post about what to pack for a blog conference, and then I realized I should probably first tell you about how to prepare for said blog conference - all the things you should do before you even get to the packing part. After attending one blog conference (by BlogHer), I now think that I have arrived. I even have the audacity to type a whole post about what you should do. Yes, ke! First of all, let me start by saying that a blog conference - or any conference Read More

How To Have A Full Time Job While Being A Full Time Blogger

RESCUE Pastilles

One of these days, I'll only have one job, and I'm sure you can guess what job that would be. Until then, I have a full time job, and I am still a full time blogger. I know I'm not alone. The luckiest ones of us don't have to deal with having a 9 to 5 job while still blogging. On some days, my to-do list is so long that I feel like tearing my hair off my scalp. Sometimes, I fall behind on replying comments, and I promise you, I do not do it on purpose at all. My 9 to 5 job is done mostly from Read More

brands + blogging

First of all, I want to express sincere gratitude to the brands that have found me worthy and given me a chance to write about their brands. Thank you.

The BlogHer conference was my first blogging conference, so other than posts I read (like this one that you're currently reading), I didn't know much else. I was an unassuming newbie. My level has changed now. So it's your first conference and you're wondering what on earth to pack. I hope this list helps you. In Read More

Guess Who’s Going To The BlogHer Conference This Year? This Girl!

Guess Who’s Going To The BlogHer Conference This Year? This Girl!

I am so excited! Come next week, I will be in San Jose, California for the 10th annual BlogHer Conference. AKA the biggest, baddest blogging conference for women bloggers. I have been waiting to go for this conference for ever. Each year, I come up with a new excuse. Well, not an excuse per say, but I have never really had the financial freedom to attempt to go. There is always something more pressing to attend to. Last year, however, I decided that come hell or high water, I'm going to the Read More
