Ok, so I am guilty of being a slave to fashion. I saw this Def Leppard sweatshirt and wanted it so bad despite not being an active fan. Usually, I am not a fan of the ‘bandwagon’ type mentality, but I could not resist.
Ok January, I see you! I have been loosely trying to reign in all the bad eating and cocktails from 2020 with an occasional workout, but we all know that a new year is the ULTIMATE reset.
What better way to kick off the new year than with some new stylish and affordable workout clothes. Get the latest styles from Fabletics for 70% off sitewide when you become a VIP (you can cancel your membership anytime!). If getting fit is part of your new year’s resolution, then get these looks for $20 or less!
At the time I was knee-deep in affiliate programs and blog sponsorships. Since then and after joining many platforms that bring brands and influencers together, my opportunities (and cash) have multiplied month after month.
“It has always been my goal to either inspire, educate, or entertain with Chicks and Salsa.”
Many collaborations come through to my email. MOST I hustle for. The rest I get matched for on one of the platforms I am going to highlight below. Just as I did before I wanted to share all the platforms on which I have successfully landed paid and gifted collaborations with companies I love.
Here is a list of platforms that I highly recommend creating profiles on to get matched with companies looking for people JUST LIKE YOU. No audience is too small, engagement numbers are equally as important.
Once you have created your profile, it is easy! You just apply to campaigns you are eligible for or interested in and wait to hear from the brand.
Here they are:
I have worked with L’Oreal, Aveeno, Coola, GUIDE Beauty, Spa Science, KRIS Wines, and more via Aspire IQ.
I have worked with Hand in Hand, Hollywood Browzer, CVS, SIJO, Good To Go, and more via Cohley.
I can’t say enough about how much Fohr has taught me! They have excellent influencer-forward education that they share on a weekly basis on their YouTube channel. I also suspect that many of the emails that come to me with opportunities, come via Fohr.
I am new to this platform but they recently ran a campaign with BVLGARI and I was part of their KISS Nails campaign.
CLEVER has many awesome opportunities and works with many big names and familiar brands, however, I have been unable to land an opportunity with anyone yet (here’s to 2021!)
I discovered Shopping Links when we met with the founder at ThinkTank in Chicago in 2019. Since then they have partnered up with high-end brands like INTERMIX, NYDJ Jeans, Double Icon, and more!
MAVRCK recently partnered up with Express for their Winter Campaign, sadly, I was not part of this.

Between my new “Jewels of the Week” series on Instagram and launching my Stella and Dot boutique, it has been all about the bling with me. I love basics like a white or black shirt with jeans (or something fun like leather pants). But a statement earring or necklace can really take any outfit up a level for any occasion.
Most people who know me are not surprised by my affinity for jewelry, especially since my Mom is a jeweler (the apple does not fall far from the tree)! Since becoming a brand ambassador for Stella and Dot, not only have I made money and scooped up many of the latest styles for less, but I have also become part of a community of women that are like-minded. We prefer quality over quantity and love supporting other women. If you want to learn about becoming an ambassador, click here.
With the holidays around the corner, jewelry is a MUST own and also they make for great gifts. Please check out my Stella&Dot store, I donate most of my commissions to a local nutrition program that is feeding kids every day who are learning from home (nearly 1600 students).
As always, thanks for stopping by Chicks And Salsa!
