Hi Reader!
What made June so good?? It was my birthday month, so of course it's my favorite month of the year! Yesterday was my birthday, but I've been celebrating all month and feeling so special. My friends threw me a farmstand birthday party (so on brand!!), which was the cutest and also had some fun dinners to celebrate!
We had a few graduation parties for some friends, which made the month so festive and fun!
I went to an annual publishing conference by Raptive, my ad network, which was in Charleston this year! It was such a great opportunity to learn and connect with other incredible content creators. A lot of what we covered was how AI is impacting our industry and how to use it to make our jobs more efficient, without ever losing our voice as creators!
I also traveled to California to attend VidCon for the very first time! It was fun to see the video creators in the space and reconnect with old ones. I even got to speak on a panel all about Oath Oats and share my journey of going from creator to owner.
Other fun celebrations this month was Father’s Day, where my kids and I made a delicious dinner at "Bobby's Bistro". That's what the kids call my husband! And my friend hosted a cute color board party where 12 of us were randomly assigned a color - we had to dress in that color and bring a board of foods in that color. Check out the video below!
On the food front, I’ve been eating a can of beans every day, and I've been having so much fun sharing with you all. Have you tried any of the recipes yet? They are total powerhouses, one serving packs about 40 grams of protein and about 25 grams of fiber!
Speaking of food, I also had the honor of being a judge for the Good Housekeeping Snack Awards, and the winners are officially out!
