Hey there!
Welcome to The List, a space where I share what is inspiring me, catching my eye, in my cart & a look at my recent projects and adventures. I also send out The Weekly Edit once a week where I recap anything you might have missed on blog or Instagram along with great sales & shopping finds. What I lack in writing ability I make up for by sharing great shopping finds, honest reviews, and a sprinkle of creativity & inspiration here and there.
Why Substack?
The biggest reason is it’s free to use! I was paying a ton of money with other email providers to just send out a weekly email. Substack lets me do this for free and gives me the option to create additional revenue with a paid subscription. I like the option of being able to share things behind a paywall because unlike publishing a blog post I can just get on here and type away and hit send. When you write a blog post (to be successful) you need to formulate the post a certain way, research keywords, set up the SEO, tag your images, etc etc etc and there is just a certain level of permanence that leads to a lot of stress when you’re putting things on the internet for all the world to see.
To Pay or Not To Pay?
First of all, you definitely don’t have to pay and please don’t feel pressured to do so! But here is a breakdown of free vs. paid subscribers. In a nutshell, if you only want my newsletter and a few emails with big sales, stick with the free version. If you want all the posts, sales, recipes, travel guides (informally & in more real-time) along with freebies and giveaways, go for the paid!
Free subscribers - Access to The Weekly Edit (my newsletter) + any really good sales. We’re talking the really big sales that you definitely don’t want to miss a.k.a Prime Day, Shopbop Style Events, and the like.
Paid subscribers - The above + everything below.
One-of-a-kind edits // From Amazon roundups to packing inspiration to Etsy finds, I’ll share one-of-a-kind shopping edits here first.
Monthly best seller roundups // Get the inside scoop on what people are buying. (These will eventually be added to LTK & ShopMy but this list will get them first.)
Adventures in homemaking // An inside look into my quest to be Laura Ingalls Wilder aka all things recipes, holistic remedies & farm animals. (Some of this content will eventually make it into the blog or on Instagram reels but this will be more of a behind the scenes, unedited version.)
Trip itineraries // I rarely share trip recaps but it just takes so. much. work. I’ll send subscribers my lists and notes from my trips just like I do when my girlfriends ask for it. (coming soon!)
Monthly giveaways // You might think this is me being generous but if I’m being honest it’s me trying to not have my house pile up with samples and press items. Ok ok I love giving a little surcie too. Paid subscribers will automatically be entered into any and all giveaways!
Also, now you can subscribe to only the content that you want! Here is how to do that if you want some but not all emails.
