A Tonic + KJ Giveaway

filed in:

cat is out of the bag! By now, most of you have heard that I’m rebranding. And after reading this post, seeing some instagrams and connecting the dots, you may have figured out that I’m working with the insanely talented Jen Olmstead. I have literally been admiring her work for YEARS and there isn’t one site or one brand that I didn’t absolutely fall in love with. I even love the styles that are NOTHING like my style and that says something! Not only have a fallen in love with Jen’s style over the years, I have also come to love HER!

She’s so much fun and it’s an honor to call her a friend! I don’t know if I was more excited to build a new website or just hangout with her!! :)  Bottom line, Jen is awesome and her work is absolutely amazing. Anyone that has a chance to work with her on a custom site is one lucky duck! The reality is that not EVERYONE can have a one-on-one Jen Olmstead experience. That’s just not possible. However, there is a way to have some of her beautiful work representing your business online and that is through the TONIC SITE SHOP! But wait…. it gets better! TONIC isn’t run by Jen alone, she has an incredible partner in crime who does equally jaw-dropping work and that’s JEFF SHIPLEY! (This is one of my FAVORITE sites he has done!) Together these two run an incredible business with the Tonic Site Shop! I absolutely love this little blurb from their site! It totally describes what they’re about and why this may be exactly what you need for your business to move forward! :

“There’s a sickness in the creative world. It’s insidious, easily diagnosed, and often referred to in hushed conversations between neon and chambray-clad tastemakers as “Boring Template Website Syndrome.” That’s right. Talented creatives everywhere, saddled with websites that fail to convey their brand’s personality and potential. It’s BTWS. It may not be catchy, but the yawns are. Fortunately, at TONIC SITE SHOP we’re here to help, and we’ve found the cure: entirely unique, completely customizable websites handcrafted for the modern, stylish creative. No listless, visually-deficient template symptoms in sight.”

So are you READY!? Are you ready to enter to win?! TONIC just recently launched a whole new set of amazing designs and they are stunning!! We have some sneak peeks below but if you want the full experience, you should visit their site!

These sites are ready to use and they are GORGEOUS! Imagine your images in some of their favorite designs below! Special shoutout to the “Mint Julep” design because they actually designed that style with me in mind!!! So sweet!!!

Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone.
