I now subscribe to a new philosophy: You never know what you might get if you JUST ASK! A lovely Twitter-mate encouraged me to email a book publisher about a new “chick lit” book hitting the shelves soon. It’s called “Babymoon” by author Melanie La’Brooy and is about impending, first-time motherhood. I tracked down who the publisher was, emailed them and suggested that I could review a copy of their book and offer another one on my Cafe Bebe site. I got a virtually instant email back saying, “Yes, that sounds fine. Where can we send them?”! Well, how about that!
I have since done the same with another publishing company for another brilliant book (keeping this one close to the vest) and last night emailed a very clever guy called Gary who invented a genius product called The Slanket. Again on Twitter, a friend mentioned The Slanket and sent me a link so I could check it out. Josie at Sleep is for the Weak is a huge fan. You’ve got to check this thing out…so clever. My American friends and family will access it easier as it’s an American based company but still, you’ve got to see it. Gary is a forward-thinking businessman and after my email proposal was more than happy to accomodate my request so very soon, I will be having a competition on my site which all Mums and Dads will ADORE!
Hence, my new mantra: “Just ask!” You just never know what you might get. Good things happen to those who wait as well, and I’ve been waiting for quite some time so I think it’s deserved. What are you going to “just ask” for now? Let me know! And let me know if you get it as well.
