How to Look Web-Cam Ready

In one week I'll be presenting about Pinterest strategies for hundreds of stylish bloggers and business owners for Alt on Topic. I couldn't be more excited to share my Pinterest knowledge, but I'm so nervous about giving a talk online. I've never done it before, and I am just praying I don't have any technical difficulties. One thing that has crossed my mind is what I should wear and how I should dress for my talk. Let's be honest, web cameras make everyone look terrible. Whenever I see my face using Skype and Facetime I just try to look away because I feel like the wide angle distorts my face a bit. After thinking about what to wear and how to impress for my presentation, I decided I needed some help in the makeup department. I asked my dear friend, Stephanie Neieheisel, to show me how to create a face that is web-cam ready, and we thought this would be great advice for all of you too!

Of course, makeup isn't the only thing that can help you make a great impression. Check out my latest eBay guide sharing accessory tips to help you look great for an online date. And, if you're interested in attending this one day webinar head on over to Instagram to win a ticket to Alt on Topic.

Speaking at Altitude Summit

Three years ago I went to Altitude Summit - a conference connecting bloggers and creatives together to learn and grow from one another. I was so intimidated. I didn't even know where to start with my blog, but I loved meeting so many different people and learning all about social media and content creation. In fact, that conference was where I met Janet Sahm, Fashion Editor of Verily Magazine. Back then the magazine hadn't even started yet. I also roomed with two strangers - Alyssa Yuhas and Liz Field of We Like We Love Magazine - who now are great friends. So many good things came from that experience! What is even crazier was when I went to Alt I had just started using this tool called Pinterest. I had noticed it was growing substantially, but no one at the conference was really using it as a means to collaborate and market. I remember thinking how I wished I could be one of the speakers one day, and well, the day has arrived. I will be a speaker at Altitude Summit this summer, and I will be talking all about Pinterest tactics. CRAZY! What a dream?!

I would LOVE to see you there and hang out with you for a couple days in Salt Lake City. If you're a Martha Stewart fan you are going to want to get your tickets ASAP! Click here to find out more information about Alt Summit Summer.
