The Virginia Hype Girl: Virginia based Foodie, Blogger, Podcaster and Digital Creator

---

Hi, I’m Krystle a not so desperate housewife with a MBA living my dream life in Smithfield, Virginia (Hamtown). Im proud of my small town roots and to have represented Virginia as Miss Virginia 2006 National American Miss and Miss Beautiful Intl. Model in 2007. I love my state and enjoy hyping Virginia small businesses. I like to share my passion of travel, cooking and homesteading on my blog, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest. My goal is to encourage, empower and inspire others.

As a 17 year solopreneur I have worked as a professional Brand Ambassador in experiential marketing for a variety of businesses, agencies and brands. To me a collaboration is about more than a paycheck. This is my reputation and if I know I can’t offer a brand or business what they are asking for I won’t work with the brand. I feel if a product or business doesn’t resonate with me or if I don’t love it how can I convince someone else to. If we work together and I help your brand grow or influence someone else to buy your product or look more into your brand then I’ve done my job.

I am approachable, supportive, transparent and grounded. I believe in community over competition and I want to motivate you to create a life you love too. It’s nice to virtually meet you! Grab some coffee/tea and cozy up to explore my corner of the web and get to know me better.

All my posts on LIKEtoKNOW can be seen here.

What is LIKEtoKNOW.it?

What is LIKEtoKNOW.it or how to use it…. First off thanks for asking! LIKEtoKNOW.it is pretty much a shopping app where bloggers and Influensters/Micro-Influensters can link directly from the shops or stores where they purchased the items associated with their outfits or posts. An account to style must be approved and then content can be posted directly on the app and cross shared on other social media platforms🛍

Why use LIKEtoKNOW.it?

As a consumer or follower you can download the free app in your App Store or Google Play or from the website directly. Once you have an account to you can take screenshots of posts from Micro-Influensters and Bloggers using LTKIt (normally there is a small heart with a circle the LTKIt logo in the bottom right of linked pictures) and find out where their items came from. You can also, sign up to have daily emails showing you what your favorite Influensters/Micro-Influensters and Bloggers using LTKIt have been linking or just get on the app directly and look around😊

For Influensters having an account with Rewards Style provides an easy method to show others where an item came from and makes it a simple way to showcase fashion and link brands. If a consumer clicks on a link directly and purchases it from the linked store in most cases a monetary incentive is also, given to the influenster. The amount given is a percentage of the item and $1-3 is typical for non-premium items.

Happy Shopping! #itallstartedwithascreenshot 

In conclusion, LIKEtoKNOW.it basically is super simple to use once you get used to navigating it. If you have any direct questions I will try to help you the best I can!
