Have a Bold Idea? Here’s your Chance to Win an $18,500 Grant

Two of my favorite things on a very short list, coffee and entrepreneurship. So when the two unite for an unforgettable contest and bring Alexis Ohanian and an $18,500 grant in the mix, this is one for the books. As someone who just launched an accessories line and has expenses coming out of every corner, this is absolutely awesome and probably the perfect base number to fund the start of an idea. Ohanian as many of you know is the co-founder of Reddit and Initialized Capital and also Mr. Serena Williams and Armenian so he’s kind of the coolest in my book. And you have a chance to have him mentor you so especially if this is a tech idea, you’re going to want to get in on it.

1850 Brand Coffee did a live taping with Ohanian to talk entrepreneurship, start-ups  and to announce their Bold Pioneer contest. Click this link to watch the Facebook Live.

My bags are packed and I’m ready to fly out to Vegas in the AM (PS this will be me on the flight with me Avene Thermal Water and Klorane Eye Patches attempting to look human for when I land).  I will be doing the on-air for Cosmoprof’s youtube channel and social media! If you’re a brand heading out you can meet me at the Cosmoprof Beaut-E Reviews Zone in the filming studio located on the show floor. I’ll be there Sunday, July 29th and Monday, July 30th from 1-3pm and brands can line up with their products for a quick segment. I’m also happy to hang out a little bit after to chat off camera with brands.

I’ll also be on the “How Influencers are Shaping the Beauty Industry” influencer panel moderated by my loves, Jessica and Jennifer of The Fat Mascara podcast! The panel is Tuesday, July 31st from 11am-12:30pm. I’m also the Beauty ID awards so if you’re at the awards come say hi!

Miami Swim Diary with Swim USA

Well kids, it was a week to remember. Fitness classes, fashion shows, gifting suites, spray tans and endless fun in the sun. Miami Swim did not disappoint! I was out with some of my favorite bloggers and the Swim USA team. Swim USA owns/licenses several amazing swim brands including Vera Bradley, Kikirio, Miracle Suit, Magic Suit, Reebok, Eco Swim and many more. Megan Zietz and I took over their Instagram/Stories for the weekend with the help of our friend Kristi from currentlycrushing.com to share our trip and did a fun photo journal using the NEW Fujifilm Instax SQ6.

We had a blast styling our swim suits into outfits and documenting our week. The new SQ6 offers an instant SQUARE format camera and includes three strobe color filters for a pop of color to the flash, as well as a front-facing mirror which makes selfies effortless. Available in three gorgeous metallic colors, Blush Gold, Graphite Gray and Pearl White, Megan, Kristi and I each got one and paired them with my Pretty Connected Shop camera straps making them the chicest accessory. They’re too cute to be hidden in a bag so we wore ours like purses. Plus there’s something so nice about making memories and documenting them in real time with an instant camera. Here were some of the highlights:
