Bump That!! It's Hump Day!

Free advertising is like eating cake all day without gaining a pound! Ahhh, the thought. Anyway, seeking out avenues to promote your service, business, or product can be extremely daunting. Seeming futile, a lot of people decide to stick their heads in the sand hoping that people will just happen upon their product or website. Others spend countless hours on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and any other social media platforms out there trying to trump up business by racking up followers and likes. While social media is EXTREMELY important, let me tell you what  a little research on the matter did for me.  It acquainted me with "bumping."

Bump sites allow you to post linked pictures or websites in order for people to find out about your business. You get bumped down the list whenever someone else enters their information, hence the term "bump." It drives traffic to your goods and services while presenting to you other goods, sites, and services that might interest you.

Bottom line: The more we promote bump sites, the more our advertising reaches a lot of people for free while the hosts of the bump sites get revenues from their ads. Win-Win-Win!

Here's a list of working bump sites. There are quite a few that have gone the way of Jurassic World, but these are active and working! Plus, there are links to other bump sites on these bump site.

Happy Bumping!

Trend #2: Orange (But say it with a French accent for effect!!)

Glamour's Dos & Don'ts always give me life! I live the thin black strip over the eyes of the big fat don'ts! But I digress. This go around they gave us a smathering of how to rock all shades of orange and how to mix and match them for an ultra stylish effect. Two of my favorites are a silky orange top and Solange's front split skirt! Not together unless you dare, but as staple pieces to build an gorgeous outfit upon. Solange paired her skirt (Similar Versace pictured below) with a turtleneck (Love her!). And, I'm seeing the silk sleeveless blouse, being paired with a burgundy pencil skirt! Ah, such cuteness and sophistication. Orange is the new black!

A sweater makes the cold temps of fall and winter worth it!
