Is it just me, or did the last 2 weeks just fly by? I could have sworn I was just putting together the finishing touches to my last blog post and now I'm 'due' another one. How did that happen? Anyway, today I wanted to talk a tiny bit about setting your price when working with brands as a food blogger.
