PR Friendly
-Catherinechicotka.com is PR friendly, and I am more than happy to work with brands and accept press samples and products for review. But I am selective of the brands that I work with; I will only work with brands that fit in with the theme of my blog.
-I am open to collaborations with companies and other bloggers. So if you are interested in working together, please email me any ideas!
-All reviews will be my honest opinions, I will never lie to my readers. If I have a negative experience/opinion, I will contact you first to attempt to resolve any issues.
-Products received are not subject to be featured on my blog within a specific time frame unless previously discussed via email.
-If you have any other questions, please email me!
Event or Travel Invitations
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area so it is easy for me to travel to local events in Northern California. But I love to travel and I am willing to travel around the world to attend and review different events, hotels, etc. Please email me.
