-
Started Blogging in 2011, under a different name. Started back up again in 2014

Bourbon & Lipstick is a Southern Lifestyle Blog

Started out primarily as a beauty blog, but realized how expensive it was to keep up with purchasing new releases
-
Needed a creative outlet

The first post was about bras
Christine: Simply Stine (https://www.simplystine.com)
-
Started in 2012
-
Simply Stine is a Beauty and Southern Lifestyle Blog
-
Started out primarily as a hobby as blogs were becoming popular and she was getting asked a lot of questions about related issues
-
Evolved beyond beauty as she realized she wanted to spend time sharing more of her life and other issues, topics, etc.
-
The first post was about a Bath & Body Works product line
We discuss:
-
Social Media (Buying likes, followers, etc)
-
Instagram and why we think it's pretty much the worst at times
-
Loop Giveaways
-
How to put together a media kit and work on approaching brands for sponsored work, etc

Why we both question those that ONLY post sponsored content
-
We answer if we think blogging has changed since we both started
-
The difference between Influencers and Bloggers
