Why I’m a Food Blogger
September 1, 2009
Good evening lovely ladies! Considering it is only Monday, today was a very productive school day. In Sales Management class, my professor touched on a very interesting topic that we as bloggers, are very familiar with: Social Media. Of course, I felt an instant connection with this topic because of what I’ve learned overtime from BlogSpot, Twitter, Facebook, and WordPress. Social Media is such an important aspect in business today because it allows otherwise, cold and serious companies to have a more approachable personality.
I found this quote on my LinkedIn eMarketing Association Network: “Technology is only as good as the soul behind it, I feel. Crafting that soul is where the opportunity lies.”
The speaker of the quote hit social media dead on the nose. Companies will only find success in social media if they engage their customers, relay their unique corporate culture, and portray trustworthiness to the public.
With senior year upon me, I am extremely excited about pursuing my professional career. I began food blogging because I have a sincere passion for both nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Post graduation I hope to work in the Marketing Industry for health food products. My ultimate goal would be to work for a company such as Stonyfield Farm, Kashi, Kraft, or General Mills. Each of those companies place their customers on such a high pedestal and value both nutritious and quality products. Overall, I would love assist in the incredible health food movement.

Thank you Kashi!
These bite-size golden rays of Honey Sunshine were so sweet and delicious! I highly recommend this cereal. For all of you college girls out there, Honey Sunshine is the perfect study snack.
