April 14, 2016 By Meredith 9 Comments

We are a friendly, welcoming group, here to help your blogging career take off! BlogU is THE place to be--and pop by here to find out how you can score your ticket for free!

For the past three years, I’ve been hanging out in a pretty cool place: the behind-the-scenes corners of the BlogU conference.

It’s not cool because it’s blissfully organized and runs like a well-oiled machine–it’s only our third year! […]

Why I’ll Never Regret Dyeing My Hair Blue

June 17, 2015 By Meredith 24 Comments

Dying your hair blue? Take it from someone who NEVER does anything crazy or wild--it was so worth it! Completely the right decision and the reason might surprise you!

We play it pretty tame around here. Our wildest nights consist of deciding to start an episode of the fantastically addictive Orange is the New Black after 8pm. I’m sadly not joking. So when I trekked off to BlogU the weekend before last and came home with blue hair, it was of note. Not of […]

Last weekend I had one of those Experiences-of-a-Lifetime-You-Will-Never-Forget. That’s perfect because I don’t want to forget it. Ever. After a year’s worth of endless behind the scenes planning and four days worth of running like a mad woman lifting boxes heavier than my Jillian Michael DVD-trained muscles should ever be allowed, WE DID IT. We […]
