It's hard for us new fashion/beauty bloggers to really get into the groove of things.  I don't know about you, but sometimes, I find it hard to think of new things to post about!  After all, I can only shop so much, haul so much, and spend so much time looking for new and interesting products.

That's where Little Birdie comes in.  It's a source finder from Independent Fashion Bloggers network that connects bloggers to PR companies.  It totally helps when you have an idea of a story, but want to find out what other products are out there.  It also helps put your name and blog out to PR reps so whenever their clients are running a special, you'll known about it and be able to post about it.

IFB screens everyone in their PR database to ensure that you will not be spammed.

Because truly, sometimes it's hard to really find new and interesting things without some help!
