Wednesday Round Up

Happy Wednesday! You know what that means – the work week is halfway over. For me, this week has been pretty meh, but there’s still time left to turn it around. I’ve got a gentle yoga class scheduled for tonight that is sure to put me in a better mood. How’s your week been? 

In other news, did you read my post all about the PHL Bloggers Conference? It’s coming up soon. I’m going to be talking all about partnering with brands: the dos and don’ts, how to approach brands, when to say “no,” and so much more. Tickets are on sale for the next few weeks, so make sure you register. I’d love to meet some of you there!
