How To Stay Motivated Blogging/On Instagram

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

This weeks post is a highly requested one. I’ve gotten asked on Instagram many times how I stay motivated to post and to keep creating content. The answer is actually pretty simple…I love it! I genuinely enjoy what I do. I have a great time meeting up with my blogger friends to shoot photos and I have gotten to work with some incredible brands.

Doing what I love motivates me! I know the harder I work and the more consistent I am the more opportunities I get. This job is all about what you make from it. This year has been an extremely hard one. With so many ups and downs this has been consistent for me. I have also been able to grow and get better at what it is that I do.

I have been lucky enough to work with some big brands and gotten chosen for some exciting collabs. Some of my favorite collaborations have been from companies who have reached out to me! They love my page and they pick me to advertise their product and that feels like such an honor.

I got to work with Stella Artois, and they picked me as their micro-influencer for their campaign. That felt absolutely amazing! I had such a great time learning how to work with a bigger company like theirs.

I decided I needed to help other women be able to work with brands and I started my one on one coaching page. I knew that, that wasn’t enough and maybe some people didn’t want one on one so I created an affordable EBook also to help them land paying collabs.

I stay motivated knowing I am making progress and growing. I love to write everything down and to look back and see how far I have come. I consistently add new goals to accomplish and that keeps me motivated.

If you are wanting one on one coaching go to my Instagram page- https://instagram.com/thebusybco

If you just want the EBook- https://gumroad.com/l/YMskz

I hope this helps someone and puts them on a path to success.

At Home Laser Hair Removal

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

2020 was all about staying home and doing it ourselves and I think with some things we should keep that going into 2021! Like at home laser hair removal. I have gone to spas for laser and I have also done it myself. It is so nice not to have to pay crazy prices to get a smooth hairless look! The price of the laser is the price of one treatment at some spas! This saves you so much money.

I love my RoseSkinCo IPL. I can use it wherever I want and whenever I want! It is so handy being able to do it myself.

Use code TheBusyBrunette for a discount! And click This Link to shop!

It is a total game changer and everyone I know who has purchased theirs absolutely loves it! I am so happy with my results and I love not having to pay spa prices.

Are you a blogger or influencer wanting to start getting paid for your social media? Then this post is for you! I wrote an EBook to cover any questions you may have and to help you land your first paid collaboration.

Because of Covid I went full force on social media and really made the most of it. I turned it into my full time job in 2020 and I want to teach other women how to do the same thing! I coach one on one privately and I wanted my class to be even more accessible and affordable!

I also created another EBook at a cheaper price for those starting out and needing advice on growing their following on Instagram.

I love teaching other women how to utilize their social platforms to make money and these books will help you figure out exactly how to do it!

3 Graces Clean Beauty Review

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

Hi friends! Today I am back with more skincare. I love small little companies that focus on great products. Today I am featuring 3 Graces. They have a variety of products and I will make sure to link them for you at the end.

I picked three products to showcase today on the blog. The first one is the restoring facial balm. This is a great product packed with amazing ingredients! I also love the little quotes on the packaging. I think it’s a super cute touch.

The facial serum is another product that is fantastic. It even features caviar in it!

The last product is the lip savior. This is great especially for those whose lips suffer in the winter time like mine do.

I love getting to feature small business on my blog. Especially beauty brands like this one!

They recently joined the RewardStyle Community, launched 3 new products and got featured on Pop Sugar & Amazon as a Trending Item for Indie Beauty! 3 Graces Beauty is a women founded, owned and operated company. They also focus on clean beauty.

My Must Have Apps As An Influencer (Blogger)

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

Hey guys! Welcome back to another blog post. This week I wanted to share the apps that I use as a blogger that I love.

I’m going to start it off with the most obvious ones! The first one is Reward Style (LIKEtoKNOW.it) , if you don’t know what that is, it is an app influencers can use to link items in their photos.

Next, is InShot. This is how I edit any video content that I put up. It is great for making reels or stories!

My most used app for graphics is Canva. I love creating things on Canva, wether it’s for my business or blog. Also Over is a similar app that is great to create on!

Lightroom is the app I use to edit all of my photos. I have also created my own presets on there that I plan to sell in the future.

The last app I use is the Flip app. This is a clothing subscription box. You can earn money and find your favorite influencers on it! If you want to follow me and get $20 off of your box I will link it for you!

I hope you enjoyed this quick little blog post and I hope this helps you if you are looking for some new apps to use.

Great Gift Ideas (With Discounts)

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

This is my long awaited blog post! I work with a ton of great companies all year long and these are the best of the best items with amazing discounts!l wanted this guide to have something for all the ladies in your life (and maybe guys too).

First up is the item I get the most comments and questions on. The RoseSkinCo IPL. With everything going on this year, this at home laser has been extremely popular with everyone.

When you go to the spa you end up spending thousands of dollars to be able to do your full body. This device is under $100 and so easy to use! My discount makes it even more affordable! Use code TheBusyBrunette. Click This Link To Shop

Next up is a line of makeup I am incredibly passionate about! Frankie Rose Cosmetics has been a total game changer for me. I have used the same foundation for years and years. I have tried to many foundations and never liked them and ended up going back to the same foundation…until Frankie Rose. I am obsessed with their foundation. It is super easy to color match online also which is so helpful! They also have so many great pallets and lip colors. I also love their concealers! Use my code BUSYBRUNETTE for a discount at checkout. Click Here To Shop

This next beauty tool is an absolute game changer! We all wash our faces, and we all have a different skincare routine. This device is amazing! Face cleaners like the Clarisonic don’t really clean your pores. Most ways that we clean our faces don’t actually get dirt and makeup out of our pores. The LumiSkin does! I am going to add an informational photo that do an even better job explaining.

You can shop This Link if you are interested in the LumiSkin. This would make an amazing gift and I know any woman in my life would love to get this!

Last but not least is my favorite self tanner. Self tanner is another product I am so picky about. I have used Loving Tan for years and now this tanner has replaced it!

Use code BusyB! Shop Here

I hope this is helpful for anyone looking for a great gift or just something to treat yourself!

Hi friends! Today on the blog we are talking all about skincare. I am working with a company for today’s post. They were kind enough to send me a variety of products from their line!

They sent me the cutest basket of stuff! I absolutely love bath products. Anything from bath bombs to scrubs or bath salts, I’m all for it! Especially the products from the Dead Sea.

The products all smell so amazing! I am a big fan of organic products and I love that they have that option. If you ask any of my friends they would tell you I’m obsessed with lavender. I always carry a bottle of it with me everywhere!

These products would all make amazing stocking stuffers or gifts for someone! I know a lot of the people in my life would love to receive these goodies!

This company also has tons of other great products! I’ll make sure to link their website so you are able to shop all of the products I’ve mentioned and also the other ones from their website.

IPL Laser Hair Removal

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

Hi friends! If you follow me on Instagram (@thebusybrunetteblog) you would know that I started doing my own laser hair removal at home during covid! I use a device from RoseSkinCo. It is super easy to use and so much cheaper than going to a spa.

The IPL has five different settings depending on what level you want. Starting out a level 3 is good and then I suggest working your way up! You can use it up to two times a week. This will get you the best results. The more consistent you are the better.

If you want to try it out or gift it to someone for the holidays I have a code to try the RoseSkinCo laser. Use TheBusyBrunette at checkout for 15% off!

The Most Instagrammable Places In Scottsdale and Phoenix Arizona

On By chloekendraLeave a comment

I absolutely love living in Arizona. It’s great living in a place that so many people love to vacation at. This means we have tons of amazing spots and fun things to do! I decided to round up a list of some of the places I love to go to for Instagram photos!

I know a lot of bloggers and influencers are constantly on the lookout for spots to really make their Instagram feed look great. These are just some of the ones I love!

1. Teaspressa– This spot is a local blogger favorite for many reasons! The cute seasonal decor and small cozy feeling make for a great photo. They also have a wall outside that looks great in photos!

2. Resorts- We have some of the most beautiful resorts here in Arizona! They are great to take photos at, especially because people there kind of expect you to!

Some of my favorites include- The Scott, Civana, and basically anything close to Old Town Scottsdale!

3. Kierland/ Scottsdale Quarter- Basically anywhere in Kierland and Scottsdale Quarter is amazing for photos! Scottsdale Quarter especially because they will put up things year around to encourage people to take photos there! I always go there in the spring and during the holidays because that’s when the displays are the best.

4. City North- This spot is super underrated! I love it because it’s usually not too busy and there are a ton of spots to take photos. Also there is a hidden speakeasy in one of the coffee shops…shhh…

5. Frontier Town Cave Creek- Cave Creek is an absolute hidden gem that most bloggers don’t take advantage of! This is where I go to shoot a lot of my content when I don’t feel like driving far. Frontier Town is just one of the many spots for photos. It is great year around!

6. Any Of Our Amazing Restaurants– AZ is known for our dining! We have so many great Instaworthy places to choose from. The Henry is a super popular one for photos. I also really love La Grande Orange. Many bloggers hang out and frequent cafes such as SweetDees and Ruze.

7. AirBnb– We have tons of cute Airbnb’s in Scottsdale! I love going to them and getting to take photos. It’s great for getting a ton of content done and not having to worry about people looking at you while you do it!

I hope you enjoyed this post and that it helped inspire you to travel to Scottsdale or to get out and take all the fun photos!
