Featured on NBC's TODAY Shortcut???
No way! But yes. It's true! "Help A Reporter Out" (HARO) is an email subscription list that sends queries from reporters and article writers to your inbox. They tell you what info they need and from which experts they want it for their upcoming projects and if all match up, you submit your pearls of wisdom.
Again.
And again.
And again, and again and again.
When I emailed my submission to Aly Walansky's query for her TODAY show site's article on taking care of tights, I sort of figured, "No way. She won't select mine. It's too dumb. It's not that good, not good enough. It's boring..." I almost didn't hit send! And the funny thing... I didn't even know she accepted the submission!
Then today (Dec. 2), I received an email saying it was live and WAHOO! Totally flipped out.
Tights and Etiquette? Wait. "What do tights have to do with etiquette?" One might ask. It's a valid question. And the answer is simple: style is etiquette. So is how we care for our things (yes, including something as seemingly simple as tights). The less we have to think about the cares of this world, the more we can concentrate on the most important things like how we treat one another.
And let me tell you, if my tights are bunching down my hips, it's hard to genuinely smile while greeting my potential new business partner's new husband.
So check out "How to Make tights last: Freeze them first" by Aly Walansky. Learn a few tricks to keep your tights in tip top shape
and learn about this nifty trick for retired tights and panty hose.
And the next time you hesitate because you or your work is not "good enough" think of me and Aly Walansky and though it may be scary, put yourself out there. It's worth the risk.
