You're getting me HYPED UP from the beginning. No more fence sitting for me. You're out here preaching friend! Has so many gems!  I love the intro, its clear and tells us what to expect to learn. Then began to encourage and I felt ready to press send on a email in my drafts to a brand.

Reading through "Level Up Your Influence" has helped give me the confidence to approach brands I love, use, and share about already about the possibility of working together. Heather gives great tips on how to prepare yourself, your blog, and your social media for partnerships. I love that she didn’t leave out the mental game when it came to transitioning to working with brands. If you are considering this transition, the guide as tons of tips to give you a great start.

When I first started blogging and posting on social media, I didn't even know it was possible to make money from it. Slowly I learned about sponsored posts and being an affiliate as well as UGC, and then I was pitched by my very first brand. I was terrified but also excited someone wanted to pay me! For awhile, I would get pitched by brands, but then I wanted more. I began going out on my own and doing the pitching. I also started getting bold and negotiating my contracts to get the money I knew I deserved. I learned how to say no, here are my rates, and I learned when and what to say in a pitch. Now I want to help YOU do the same thing and earn what you deserve. I can't wait to see your successes by using my guide!

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
