📣 The Tab is doing a Valentine’s-Galentine’s day gift guide 💘 @ PRs if you’re looking to feature products in a guide please send anything relevant to phoebe@thetab.com ❣️#journorequest #journorequests #prrequest

@euronewsweek It's difficult, but for me setting limits around contact is key. I won't take calls or meetings, but will allocate time to check emails. I work with a few entrepreneurs and could pop over their pov via email.

Entrepreneurs and social media professionals: how do you manage to switch off, over the Christmas period? We would love to hear your tips for a last minute feature. #Journorequest #EntrepreneurLife

@thesjedit Hi Sarah, be great to connect on this and a few other interesting fashion and beauty bits coming up. Can I DM you? x

Looking for tips/quotes regarding buying SPF on a budget. Any #beautybloggers out there who can help? Please get in touch! #journorequest

@CathFHardy @josephinefor Congrats to you both! x

📣Some job news📣Delighted to announce I'll be acting as Femail Magazine Editor while @josephinefor is on maternity leave, working with the brilliant mag team. Do send pitches my way!

#journorequest Calling all #beauty and #fashion #Editors #writers #bloggers and #Influencers to join us for an exciting pop-up launch this Wednesday, 31st of May in central London. DM me for full details 🩷🩷 #beauty #Sustainability #launch

@KelseyOgletree It's so personal. I tend to do one follow-up 3-5 days later, then move on until I have something new to pitch. However, recently I spoke with a writer who said the more follow-ups, the better, as it reminds them to loop back.

How many PR follow-ups is too many? Honestly right now, for me, more than 1. If I haven't responded to you after 4 emails, including 3 follow-ups that add zero new information or timely hook, please stop pitching me that idea. Safe to assume it's a pass for now! #PRtips #PRpros

@charlie_crispy Every single time. I've given up on any kind of actual day off 🤣

I don’t work on Fridays. I just do that quick thing, then finish off that other quick thing, then I quickly sort another quick thing very quickly. Then suddenly it’s 7pm and I’ve worked the whole solid Friday. Every week. #selfemployed

@Sophiegoddard I've heard Clean Co have some nice non-alcoholic drinks. 🍸

Anyone got any decent alcohol-free fizz recommendations for a pregnant gal this crimbo?

To conclude: If UK hadn't "cut the green crap" over the past decade, gas imports would be 13% lower Remember: 🌞Every 5GW of solar cuts gas imports by 2% 🌬️Every 5GW of onshore wind cuts imports by 6% 🏡Every 5m homes insulated cuts imports 2% /ends carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-ga…

@sophielouwilson @styliststuff maybe one for you? x

@Lou_LouD Would love to know the answer, have heard arguments for both.

I've seen way too many different opinions, so journalists, let's settle this once and for all, please tell us Digital PRs: Do you prefer your press releases IN the email or as an attachment? #journorequest

#prrequest #journorequest any publications looking for some Mother's Day gift guide suggestions? I'm working with a beautiful leisurewear brand that would be perfect for mums of all ages! DM open or email mccluskeypr@gmail.com #JournoRequest

@vfwldn Hi there, I might have a brand for you, DM? Or is there an email contact?

@venetialamanna Depressing 🙁

@SophieBenson_ Cry, definitely cry 🥲

The SECOND I chat to someone outside of the ~sustainable fashion circle~ it’s clear that greenwashing is working. “But brands are way better now aren’t they?” is something I hear all the time.

Thank you to everyone who reached out. I'm good for now but will keep those I couldn't use in mind for future projects.

Journalist looking to speak with a strong female entrepreneur for #IWD2022. Reach out. Dm's open or contact email in bio. #prrequest #JournoRequest #journorequests

@itssophiemorris Add to this that the service has got worse, not better. So you're paying more for fewer trains and frequent cancellations. It's a joke.

Then factor in things such as the economic/social costs of an extra hour of childcare either side while commuting…

As of today, a commuter belt return from Watford to Euston (22 mins) is now almost £20. A travel card - £27. St Albans to St Pancras return (18 mins) - £23.40. A travel card - £31.70. That’s over £100 a week, £400 a month to go back to the office full time (!)
