Well, we are two weeks into summer vacation and enjoying all of this amazing weather! I  have been keeping busy with the kids, going to Fire Island, Montauk and some local beaches. But of course, summer can't always be full of fun and games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was trying to find some fun ways of promoting my the &lt;a href="http://www.alissaspieces.bigcartel.com/"&gt;Alissa's Pieces Fashion Jewelry&lt;/a&gt; site, so what did I do? Well,  I started to surf the net for advice. One thing that almost every advice article on how to promote your website suggested was to publish articles as form of advertising. Well, I figured it can't hurt, so  I just finished my first article : &lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Look-Like-a-Celebrity-without-Spending-a-lot-of-Money"&gt;How to Look Like a Celebrity without Spending a lot of Money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, it sounds like fluff! But hey, I still have the Hamptons and all of the fun summer fashions that I just observed out on the beach still stuck in my brain!! Anyway, if you decide to check it out, I would love to hear some feedback.  Enjoy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3912946265679482512-6626501193545883366?l=alissaspieces.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://hubpages.com/hub/Look-Like-a-Celebrity-without-Spending-a-lot-of-Money' title='Look Like a Celebrity Without Spending a lot of Money'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/feeds/6626501193545883366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/2009/07/look-like-celebrity-without-spending.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3912946265679482512/posts/default/6626501193545883366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3912946265679482512/posts/default/6626501193545883366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/2009/07/look-like-celebrity-without-spending.html' title='Look Like a Celebrity Without Spending a lot of Money'/><author><name>Alissa's Pieces</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13319441560204096098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Pvt9PH1WI/Sk2IQsnyq5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/dm6n8B2TUE0/S220/BC050886-014.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912946265679482512.post-5886267344254318805</id><published>2009-07-11T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T19:34:27.837-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='charity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fundraiser'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soccer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baseball'/><title type='text'>Fashionable Fundraising</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Pvt9PH1WI/Slk0J8HCzJI/AAAAAAAAABg/KXBoo9vuptg/s1600-h/CIMG3545.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Pvt9PH1WI/Slk0J8HCzJI/AAAAAAAAABg/KXBoo9vuptg/s320/CIMG3545.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357370577093053586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Gorgeous Canary Diamond Like CZ Necklace on a Sterling Silver Chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;LET THEM THINK IT'S REAL!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find it at &lt;a href="http://www.alissaspieces.bigcartel.com/"&gt;Alissa's Pieces Fashion Jewelry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Attention all Soccer Moms, Baseball Moms or those who are interested in earning money for your favorite charity or organization!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;EARN MONEY ALL YEAR LONG!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How you ask?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Host an &lt;a href="http://www.alissaspieces.bigcartel.com/"&gt;Alissa's Pieces Fashion Jewelry &lt;/a&gt;E-FUNDRAISER!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you host an &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;E-FUNDRAISER&lt;/span&gt; you will be given a special Discount Code to send out to your family and friends.

I am Alissa, owner and operator of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://alissaspieces.bigcartel.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alissa's Pieces Fashion Jewelry&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;  &lt;span&gt;Alissa's Pieces &lt;/span&gt;is a small but growing company located on Long Island, NY that sells fashion jewelry including semi-precious stones, sterling silver, designer inspired pieces and beaded jewels.  &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This business truly started out as a hobby that feed my need to shop and buy pretty things! I began by buying a small amount of goodies and selling them to my friends, family and colleagues. But, like all good things, the business took on a life of it's own. Quickly, I moved into doing home parties and holiday fairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step in my endeavor has been to hire sales people to sell jewelry for me. I call this portion of the business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" &gt;The Traveling Boutique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;, because, quite literally, my sales girls travel with a box of jewels that they sell as cash and carry items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;And now- a website and a blog. Yesterday I launched the &lt;a href="http://alissaspieces.bigcartel.com"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Alissa's Pieces Fashion Jewelry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; website at &lt;a href="http://alissaspieces.bigcartel.com"&gt;www.alissaspieces.bigcartel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I am so excited to see how this portion of the business develops!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Well- going forward, I will update this blog with some fashion and jewelry related items to help keep us all fashion forward!! Maybe even a little celebrity fashion from time to time along with a few discount codes and sale items for my blogger friends!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Have great 4th of July weekend!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3912946265679482512-5942286992752972582?l=alissaspieces.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/feeds/5942286992752972582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/2009/07/day-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3912946265679482512/posts/default/5942286992752972582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3912946265679482512/posts/default/5942286992752972582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alissaspieces.blogspot.com/2009/07/day-1.html' title='Day 1'/><author><name>Alissa's Pieces</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13319441560204096098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Pvt9PH1WI/Sk2IQsnyq5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/dm6n8B2TUE0/S220/BC050886-014.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
