I”m so glad you are here and are interested in being a part of this awesome community we have at Gloriously Ruined.  It’s been a 5+ year journey with this blog that has taken lots of twists and turns, but what we have is an amazing group of women from all over the country [and world!] who are full of passion.  Passion about Jesus, passion about adoption, passion about purchasing with purpose, passionate about missions, passionate about being mamas, and the list goes on.  We encourage each other, pray for each other, and it’s just a really sweet place.

This is a place where stories are told, hope is given, and the firm belief that anybody can change the world is spoken. My own life was gloriously ruined by my trips to visit and love on orphans in Africa, and I’m using my stories and voice to encourage others to step out of their comfort zone and be ruined too.  You can read a little more about me + this blog here and also read more about our community on my “hi, nice to meet you” post here.   

One thing I love, and always have, is connecting people.  I believe it’s one of the gifts God gave me, and I want to use it for His purpose!  I love telling people about a product I love, a story that captivates me, or something I think others should get involved with.  Our partnership in sponsorship will include lots of organic mentions on social media.  That’s simply who I am!

If your blog/shop/product fits well with our readership here + with the things I am passionate about exposing, then we’d love to have you!

 Features & Giveaways:  I would love to work with you if your brand is a good fit for my readership.  I enjoy spreading the word about products and causes that I love.  That includes: fair trade shopping, purchase with purpose, faith based, adoption related, or anything mama/family related.  There is a fee for this service, as I take my job of promoting your brand or product and my time very seriously.  Products sent for features will not be returned.  Please contact me to discuss details.   My giveaways + features are solely for brands that I personally love and support.  I write them from a personal point of view and care deeply about keeping the integrity of my brand.  To see examples of this, see these links:  No 41 + Noonday Collection.

I don’t want that to sound harsh, but the vision and integrity of Gloriously Ruined is the most important to me.  I will carefully consider if your brand or product fits well with my readership before acceptance.  I love and support: fair trade shopping, purchase with purpose, adoption, missions, worship music, coffee, photography, handmade and art.  If you have something that would fit, I’d love to hear from you!  [ok, I love more things, so if you are interested just email me!]
