Wendy's Media Opps: March 26, 2024
TONS of opps in home, garden, beauty, pets, travel, wellness.
I just got back from an amazing work-cation in Sedona, courtesy of the brand-new Sky Rock hotel which has some seriously epic, sweeping vista views of red rock country. I HIGHLY recommend a stay here if you make it out this way!
I feel so lucky that I’m only a couple hours away from this magical place, and every time I go I discover something new. I even dabbled in some of the mystical stuff this time around, including a palm reading and visit with a pet psychic. (Have you ever done either of these things? Would love to hear about your experiences!!)
Anyway, can you believe that we’re already a quarter of the way through the year? I’m looking at early-mid April with a lot of assignments on my plate, and I could definitely use your help!

Ever dreamed about your teeth falling out? You’re not the only one—here’s what it means.
I’m loving these creative, winding garden path ideas featured in Martha Stewart. Summer DIY, anyone?!
Well, since low-rise jeans are back you might as well learn how to style them. (But rest assured these are different from the ultra low-rise jeans from the ‘00s.)
You may not be able to get rid of a zit overnight, but you can get pretty dang close with these pro tips.
