Small win for my blog site! My blog post collaboration with Wendy's is now showing up on the first page of the Google Search when you search, "Wendy's Breakfast"! The SEO tactics that I learned and are putting to use are paying off! 🙌🏼

Okay, I've taken a super long hiatus from blogging but now I want to write about local businesses again. What locally owned businesses - that are in Jessamine co, Lancaster, or Lexington, would you like to learn more about or read more about? What kind of businesses would y'all be interested in reading about? Are there any businesses that you feel deserve to have the spotlight?

Hope this is allowed. I've already written about:
Luna's Cafe
CraftTucky
Bubba Grub
KCAL Old Time Radio
KY CBD Farmacy
Right Track Shakes

Also written about:
Cotton Craft Shop
Archa Nine Thai
2 Mother Hustlers
Local Lex Market
Ada & Lo
Evans Orchard

This is a great option for small businesses located anywhere in the U.S. that offer shipping, as well as a great option for local businesses that may also offer shipping, and just to spread the word to others! You don't wanna miss out on this as it's ONE sponsorship, but TWO ADVERTISEMENT SPOTS!!!

🪕 Check out this stringed instrument! You don't gotta be any good to play it either, take me for example! 🤣 It was so fun getting to try out some boogie boxes at Craft-Tucky, a ✨ NEW ✨ LOCAL VENDOR SHOP in Nicholasville, KY! They have 1 stringed, 2 stringed, and even 3, stringed boogie boxes! The kicker? They're made from cigar boxes! Meaning they were made from recycled/reused material making it better for the Earth, and our soul to purchase & play with. Get one to collect, get one to have fun, get one to gift to someone, it don't matter much what you do with it - just come check one out soon! Craft-Tucky will be opening later in December, so follow their page on Facebook for updates and to not miss their grand opening that will be here soon - They do have an event tomorrow though where you can take photos with Santa! Blog Post will be shared today at 4:30 pm EST. Click link in bio to subscribe to the blog so you don't miss when I drop news like this! 🎄👀
