I started my blog in September of 2009, and if you would have asked me back then what I would be doing today my guess would have been completely off the mark. The truth is what has happened to me is a million times better than I ever could have hoped for... It helped me find my passion. Life is funny sometimes, how one random event can trigger a chain reaction that leads you to something great. For me, that something great is Internet Marketing and my business Blog Friendly PR. I love working with people and helping brands grow...I can do it all day long--and sometimes I do! Luck handed me Blog Friendly PR, and for the last two years I've been doing my best to … [Read more...]

One of the Best Moments of my Blogging Career Yet…on Date Night
April 28, 2013 By 8 Comments
As a blogger I'm used to tweeting, instagramming, facebooking, and the like. I was excited because my husband and I were finally getting a night out. You know, that thing married people with kids never get...date night. We were going to see Gabriel Iglesias. You know, Fluffy! In my excitement I tweeted about how excited I was to see the show, and tagged him...like always. So excited to be seeing @fluffyguy tonight! After the week I've had I need to relax and laugh. #datenight — Nina Say (@NinaSay) April 27, 2013 We got ready to go take the kids to my amazing Mother in law and start our night out. Then headed to Chili's and I had myself a skinny … [Read more...]

When I Disappoint Myself
April 11, 2013 By 3 Comments
About a year ago I was pumped and excited about an opportunity that I was going to dive head-first into. Yes, it was one of those direct sales-y type opportunities but I was not going to be a pushy person because I didn't need to be; they didn't require any minimum sales--I would be happy doing it just for myself. So that is what I ended up doing: buying from myself and taking advantage of the discount I received. It was all I did for the last year, I failed at my miserable attempts at spreading the word and gaining a client base. But I knew I had no sales quota to meet so I'd be fine. Then I got the announcement, the announcement that broke my heart. Starting … [Read more...]
I had to get a new Facebook page! Will you join me?
April 6, 2013 By 4 Comments
Do you guys remember back when my blog was called The One Fantastical? I do to, and I hated it. This is why I rebranded to Nina Says. Unfortunately Facebook has refused to let me rename my Facebook page. My request was "permanently declined"...jerks. They are way too wishy washy with their rules and regulations, some people are able to rename their pages just fine! I guess I'm just not that lucky. I'm a little nervous doing his, because I'm leaving behind 1,500+ fans, but I want a united front across all of my social media pages. So I officially invite you to come on over and join my at my new Facebook page, and Like me! Visit my page … [Read more...]
Things That Remind Me of My Childhood – Nostalgia Overload!!!
January 7, 2013 By 16 Comments
Every now and then, and I mean very rarely I get this overwhelming urge of sentiment for my childhood. During these times I start reminiscing about the things that made me really happy during my childhood years and this is a post dedicated to that. I hope you enjoy, but more importantly I hope you can relate to at least one of these things...I'm 22 years old there has to be at least a few of you who will connect and say "Ahhh!

How cool!!!" lol :) *Just a side note* I know my blog has been almost purely reviews lately...I'm trying to show my readers the real me and this includes opening up about my life and my past. I hope you enjoy getting … [Read more...]
Why being yourself makes a relationship work
November 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
In my ten-ish years of dating, I have found several key factors can lead to a relationship ending. Of course there are all the things that the other person does wrong, but I'm talking about you and how you potentially mess things up for yourself. These are the things that can sometimes be hard to hear because when we do and recognize it in ourselves, we have to take ownership of the fact that it may have been our fault. But ultimately, if we can take these lessons, learn from them and apply them the next time around, the next break up just might not be our fault. Trying too hard to impress: Contrary to popular magazines, men don't want you to show up with pizza … [Read more...]
Why Supplemental Insurance is Important–Something You Should Consider
October 5, 2012 By 1 Comment
Do you fully understand insurance, more specifically your personal insurance plan? I know I don't know all the fine print that is present in our insurance through my husbands employer. To be honest it is something that has been a completely foreign concept to me for such a long time. I think a part of being smart and prepared not only helps insure your family is healthy and taken care of, but it protects them as well. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes down to health insurance. If you have employer provided insurance (like my family does,) it is very important to understand your personal plan and its Open Enrollment Period. What is an Open Enrollment … [Read more...]
I Never Went on a Honeymoon.
September 17, 2012 By 3 Comments
That sounds crazy, right? Bryan and I had a very small wedding (less than 20 people were there...including our 2 pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids) in 2009 and although we were in Las Vegas we had a 6 month old Zoey and we went home the day after our wedding. Exciting, right? We never had a reception, which I can honestly live without, and we didn't have a Honeymoon...that is the biggest thing I regret. Bry and I have some big plans for the future, and we want to go on our "official Honeymoon" on our fifth anniversary. Even though we have a year and a half until our fifth anniversary, I have still been planning our dream Honeymoon--you know, scouting locations and … [Read more...]
No, I’m not crying…

I got pink eye from Emma. It is the most horrible thing I've ever gone through, I'd rather have strep throat. It itches and burns so bad. I also need to get my eyebrows waxed, but who would work on me like this? Nobody...and I don't blame them. … [Read more...]
