Attention all brand managers, marketing agencies and public relation firms who reach out in any way to online influencers like myself.
I hate to break the news to you, but I’ve got the power in this relationship and you have NONE.
I can write about anything I want. I can say whatever I want. No one but [...]

Let me be very blunt here.
Just because I follow you on Twitter or we are connected on any other social network, does not mean that we are buddies, friends or instantly connected by the mystical powers of the Internet.
What it does mean is that we’ve begun a relationship and if I’ve hit accept in some [...]

Last night Laura and I went car shopping and what was interesting was just how different we were treated at each dealership.

At the first one we were barely noticed and when someone finally did come over to us to let us know that they’d have someone talk to us as soon as they can, we [...]
