It's Expo week! Traveling for press + assignments this week
Sourcing for Eat This, Food&Wine, Clean Plates, The Girl's List
I got home late last night from visiting family and will be turning around bright and early on Wednesday for Expo West and a press trip! I will be in town for Expo for 2.5 days and already have a very packed schedule. If I can’t meet up with you, I’d love to hear what your brand exhibited and try any new products at home!!
After Expo, I am heading down the coast for a press event. But the assignments don’t stop when travel picks up! Peep my upcoming assignments below over the next couple weeks.
Two special requests:
For my bachelorette party, I will be in NYC in May. I’m hosting a dinner for writers, editors, PR, and brand friends to meet up if you’re local! Ping me here, and I will share the details.
For my wedding in June, I am putting together sample bags for welcome gifts (about 50 bags) and party favors (about 130). I love the personalized touch of samples for my guests who constantly hear me talking about the number of boxes showing up on our doorstep. If you work with a brand that is interested in contributing, I would be THRILLED to team up for this. I’ll post a reel over on Instagram with a shoutout as I assemble the goodie bags.

New assignments will be here each week! Depending on the season, I am writing 10-20 stories per month right now.
