Blogalicious 5… here I come!

September 27, 2013 by Alisha 10 Comments

Hey y’all…guess what?!?! I have the opportunity to attend my first blogger’s conference! Words can not express just how happy I am about this awesome experience! Blogalicious is an annual weekend go-to destination for influential multicultural women social media enthusiasts from all over the world to collaborate, connect and uplift one another. Blogalicious Weekend is not just a conference; it’s a celebration.

None of this would have been possible without the support for my ticket purchase from my sponsors at Sverve! Sverve’s mission is to connect female social media influencers and businesses for win-win partnerships. I have worked with Sverve since the beginning of the year and I have had several opportunities to work with brands and companies to promote their products. My goal when I joined Sverve was to learn how to monetize my blog, but it has turned into so much more than that. I have met so many great bloggers and formed relationships with people from literally all over the world!

My New Love: Color Club Holographic Nail Polish

September 24, 2013 by Alisha 8 Comments

Happy Tuesday! So…I was prepared to show off my awesome nail color yesterday for MANICure Monday and just as I got ready to upload my pics my darn memory card reader went M.I.A. I gave up looking for it yesterday and finally remembered where I had a spare one stashed! And like they say, better late than never!

A few weeks ago while getting my “pin on” on Pinterest I stumbled across this beautiful holographic polish from Color Club called Harp on it. I was immediately mesmerized and spent the next few hours trying to track it down so I could purchase it. I found it on Color Club’s site but it was $10 plus $5 shipping and I thought that was just ridiculous! So I went to my next favorite shopping place…AMAZON! Not only did I find the color but I found a million and one other holo polishes. I quickly caught my breath and told myself that I could only buy one and that I would treat myself to more after I tried this one out first. I purchased my polish for $7.63 with free shipping and got it about 4 days later.

Laura of “This is Fit” Workouts

September 23, 2013 by Alisha 9 Comments

Happy Monday! So last week I took a little blogger’s break because sometimes life just gets hectic! But I’m glad to be back and sharing my ramblings with you all again. 😀

Let’s be honest here people, some times I don’t feel like working out…at.all! You ever just have one of those days when you feel like that?

That’s when I have to kick my butt in high gear and find something to motivate me to keep going. About a month ago I joined this awesome group of other women who are stepping up their health and fitness on Google+. While in the group I have come in contact with some pretty awesome women! And one who stands out because of her workouts are some of the hardest s**t I have ever tried to do in my entire life! Her name is Laura and she can be found on YouTube and her Blog.
