When a paleo food blogger/photographer asks if she can review your product AND take awesome shots of it, you don't say no! Emily du Plooy of The du Plooy Duo blog and her husband Jared are an incredible blogger/photographer team. Take one look at their website and you'll see what I mean. Drool. Emily tried PS granola and developed this delicious paleo-friendly smoothie bowl. And she wrote some great things about PS; my favorite quote is this one: So, in case I haven’t convinced you of how crazy I am about this stuff, let me go ahead and tell you what ingredients it does contain.

I recently met Catherine, writer for CFN Daily: Classy Features and News, and after sharing my story and reasons for starting Paleo Scavenger with her, she asked me to do an interview for her column, Classy Lady. After learning more about CFN Daily and their mission to empower and celebrate women, I gladly accepted.  From all things paleo, to tech startups, to volunteer work, my favorite part of the interview was being able to share how I'm able to stay positive and overcome challenges: Brittany exudes happiness, kindness, and an incredible drive. She credits the people around her that give...
