It’s been a while since I talked about how I edited my Instagrams. I didn’t think it was possible, but Instagram has gotten even bigger and even more relevant, especially for brands. As a full-time blogger, my Instagram account is a huge part of my business and how I connect with readers! Every person, blogger…

Inbox Zero
I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…
DEALING WITH PHOTO OVERWHELM
This past week, I sat down to fill out a little birthday book for Jack. It was a gift from a friend at my baby shower– and it’s darling: a little binder to fill in photos from your child’s birthday (from their “birth day” through eighteen). I had a ton of photos printed and sat…

Adulting Gifts
I know this seems like such a boring gift guide… but I know a lot of you are in the same boat that I am. My sister, who turns 27 (how?!?!) next month, and I were just talking about how we’re officially old because our idea of perfect gifts are useful things like vacuum cleaners….
Organize, Please… GMAIL
I am a gmail addict and have a huge system worked out. I have a few email accounts. An AOL one (I know, so 1990s) that I use for pretty much everything, my Georgetown address, and a few gmail accounts. (Speaking of email addresses, you can reach me at carly [at] thecollegeprepster [dot] com) Before I…
