Want to Be a Social Media Superstar?

I don't know about you, but if I am trying to become a better version of myself, I always listen to people who have accomplished what I want to achieve.  I mean really, who goes to a fat aerobics teacher if one is trying to lose weight?  Throughout the generations artists have studied Picasso's works to become better artists, so if you are looking to become a social media superstar, why not look to a social media superstar, right?  Who would you choose?  I choose Justina Blakeney after all; the woman is brilliant, beautiful and extremely talented.  I had the good fortune of serving on a panel with Justina at the last High Point Market and I loved meeting her!

Truly A Steel Magnolia - Betty Angel Parker Coleman

Betty Angel Parker Coleman

October 17, 1929 -  January 25, 2016

Aunt Betty gracefully grew her angels wings and fluttered off to Heaven on Monday evening.  The first thought after I had known she had passed was about her proclamation in last few days in the hospital.  She said, "I'm free from life, I don't have to do anything else."  She told me she didn't care who won the presidential race; it didn't matter anymore.  Her lack of interest in the presidential race let me know she felt it was her time to go because she always had a strong opinion about politics.

Modenus Blogtour Las Vegas/KBIS Here I Come!!!!

I'm back home from fun times in Atlanta and repacking to head to the airport to Las Vegas!  I'm excited to be chosen to participate in Modenus Blogtour Vegas/KBIS, where I'll be reporting new and exciting products in the kitchen and bath market.  We have a full slate of activities ahead of us so make sure you follow on instagram and don't miss out on seeing the latest and greatest the show has to offer. 

Wondering What Modenus or Who is?

In their own words......

"The simplistic answer — Modenus is a comprehensive digital resource for design professionals and design enthusiasts. The better answer — Modenue is a one-stop-shop for all things design. They offer a carefully curated collection of the most inspiring and innovative new brands and products from around the world alongside editorials on everything that strikes them as worth sharing — from trends and event to cocktail recipes and holiday wish lists.  For professionals, they offer designer profiles that allow them to showcase their projects and passions among their extensive audience

Last, but not least, Modenus loves connecting people across the industry. Whether it's client to designer, manufacturer to consumer, or blogger to fellow blogger; Modenus works daily to grow and enrich their considerable design community. They even take these relationships offline, augmenting their social media efforts with real-life meet-ups and BlogTours across the globe. They understand that sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough and that getting some face time can mean the difference between an online acquaintance and a life-long friend. To sum it all up, and at the risk of sounding like a motivational poster, their main goal is to inspire and be inspired in return."
