Powder Room Reveal

I'm so excited to reveal my powder room for you today! Because it's so small it was challenging to create a space that's both open + inviting! But first, let's check out a 'before' picture. Yikes.

How To Build Your Media Kit

How To Disconnect From Social Media

As a blogger, I'm frequently asked how I reach out to both brands and companies. First, I always interact with them on social media so that they're familiar with Lavin Label before I send any pitch. If you want to learn some tips on my first step, check out our recent post on how to help you land your dream partnership. After I interact with the brand or company, I later send a formalized email that always includes my media kit. This information is not only useful, but also an integral part in securing the sponsorship. So today, I'm…
