During my recent trip to Puerto Rico, I booked one of my favorite activities: sailing! Living on the coast of Georgia, I absolutely love to spend my days on the water. Whenever my husband and I have downtime together, we love to go boating. Ever since I learned how to keep a sunfish afloat, I've been on a sailing kick. Needless to say, sailing was on my to do list in San Juan. The evening was perfect with temperatures in the mid 70s and beautiful views -- no wonder it was the highlight of my trip! I sailed around the coast of Old San Juan and the views were stunning. I partnered with Vineyard Vines, since they are known for their nautical line. I opted to wear cropped white linen pants (on sale now),…

Practical Tips to Execute a Co-Branded Instagram Takeover

Maximizing Brand Partnerships Through A Co-Branded Instagram Takeover

Instagram Takeover

According to the Fohr Card, I have reached a total of 25,867 social media followers. It has been exciting to watch Lavin Label grow over the past few years and I love engaging with y'all on the blog and through social media. Even though I'm proud of Lavin Label's growth (and your awesome engagement), it can still be tough to lock in larger brand partnerships from time to time. It requires creative thinking. I figured if I'm faced with this challenge, then my fellow entrepreneurs might be as well. So today, I'm sharing four tips to get your brand in front of a larger audience and even secure a partnership that might ordinarily be out of reach, if it was solely based upon your following. Always remember, there's a lot more than just numbers…

This Post is in Partnership with Papyrus. As a female entrepreneur, I relate to other entrepreneurs' challenge of balancing time between home, work, family and a social life -- especially during the summer when we're juggling vacation, visiting family and everything else that falls in between. During busy times, it's important to work efficiently so we don't feel overwhelmed. This summer proved to be a difficult time for me when it came to Lavin Label because my routine was interrupted by everything I listed above, and then some! So today I'm sharing four lessons I learned this summer that encouraged a more productive work day. 1. Create An Inspiring Work Space. Last week, I was writing a bog post in my office and kept getting distracted by my room--which was a complete mess. I had…

This Post is in Partnership with Bed, Bath and Beyond. Thank You for Supporting the Brands that Support Lavin Label. As you probably know, we moved into our new home in January of this year. We renovated almost the entire house, but didn't really touch the exterior of the home. Over the spring and in the beginning of summer, when temperatures are ideal in southern Georgia, we realized that we didn't really have an outdoor space that was conducive for alfresco dining. So I came up with the idea of transforming the outdoor space (next to our sunroom and kitchen) into a patio, so we could add a dining table and chairs. It's been about two months since I started this journey and I'm so excited to share our finished patio with you! Of…

This Post is in Partnership with JetBlue Vacations. I'm so excited to share my recent trip to Puerto Rico with you! I really needed this long weekend getaway that was all about relaxing, enjoying the crystal clear water, and drinking frozen margaritas by the beach.

So Kelli Boyd, with Kelli Boyd Photography and I were thrilled to team up with JetBlue Vacations for a Puerto Rican summer getaway! This was my first trip to Puerto Rico and I ABSOLUTELY loved it!

One of the highlights of this tropical vacation was the exquisite El San Juan Hotel. Since the…
