It’s been a long time since I’ve had a reader survey, but I’m at a place where I’d really love to hear your thoughts. As I get ready to launch my redesign (official date TBA!), I’m taking the time to reflect on current content and make some decisions on the direction of Inspired to Share.

So would you take a few minutes and let me know your thoughts? I kept it brief at under 10 questions and I would love to hear what you think so that I can make this space better!

I’m so grateful to have you reading and a huge thank you in advance!!

P.S. You may noticed the header of my blog has changed. Inspired to Share is no longer just centered on “freaking out about design” and I really felt the need to simplify in the interim until I launch my new design. Stay tuned! :)

I love these beautiful paintings by Rachel Castle! I’m not sure if I’ll ever tire of neon.

Have a relaxing weekend. We’ve had a big week so we’re hanging low. My cousin is living in Milwaukee for the summer so we’re having her over for dinner tonight! On the menu: watermelon basil salad, grilled veggies, burgers (black bean veggie for me), and mojitos.

Cheers!

Want to sponsor Inspired to Share in May? As a new step, I’m expanding my sponsorship program and would love to partner with your small business or brand. I’ve got some great posts planned for May and I’ll be starting work on refining the Inspired to Share brand in order to launch a new site design! I’ll also be announcing two new series, one which includes a new contributor!

If you think your brand would fit the aesthetic of Inspired to Share (think: modern, playful, dreamy, fun:) please email me at colleen[at]inspiredtoshare[dot]com to request a media kit. I look forward to hearing from you!

This quote spoke to exactly what’s been on my mind this week. I hope you find it empowering, too. We are so much more capable than we realize! Don’t let fear and doubts get in the way. :)

I’m excited to take Inspired to Share to new places and I hope you join along for the journey. I’ve got lots in the works and can’t wait to take this space further and grow!

Have a lovely weekend! Tonight I’m going to an event to make a coral candle holder at our Anthropologie followed by Gallery Night in the Third Ward. Now that I work at lululemon athletica, I’m wearing jeans for the first time in…two months? So it’s a pretty big deal. ;)

Have a great one and dream big! xo

Have you heard of hipster branding? It’ s a clever project by designer Dave Spengeler, where he reinterprets common brands and gives them “hipster branding“. Such a funny and intriguing concept! Which one’s your favorite?

Happy weekend! Any fun plans? I’m excited for yoga at the Art Museum tomorrow morning and a fun collaborative project that I’ll share soon. Have a good one! xo
