In case I didn’t mention it all the way back in August when I came home from BlogHer 11, I met with plenty of amazing companies and brands. Some I’ve had the pleasure of working with and some I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their products and sometimes writing about them. But the absolute standout [...]
