Please don’t f*** up my Karma
A while ago, A Modern Mother wrote a post aimed at PR companies about how to approach bloggers when trying to engage them for reviews and the likes. Apparently, the appeal was fruitful; at least I haven’t heard of any more crass incidences. Continue reading
Award, awards, awards. And yes, I left it a little long.
