The end of an extraordinary experiment in nice. Crush 131 and done. Kristy crushes Kristy.

The Pug Crush feature began as a little experiment in kindness and it changed my life. I had the distinct honor of shining the spotlight on so many extraordinary women, businesses and blogs without asking anything in return. Just to be nice to another human being. Radical, huh?

Through this journey, I was able to get to know so many of you in a way I would never have otherwise. My experiment was designed to showcase everyone as a relatable individual and let the world know a little bit more about all of these amazing women behind their computer screens. Crushing knows no fan or liker count-it is about the person..not the fan club.

Pug Crushing has seriously changed my life. I cannot describe how it actually feels to make someone else feel valued, special and happy with no strings attached. The feedback I have gotten is astounding. The same, simple questions answered by the super star bloggers and the newbies makes everyone more relatable and connected.

That all being said, crushing is quite time consuming. I spend up to an hour each day on the feature and I can no longer keep the pace. My business will be moving in a new direction and I have a bunch of shiny, new excitng projects I have been working on that I will share in the upcoming months.

I have crushed on every sweet chick from around the world to return their q&a. I thank them from the bottom of my glittery heart for answering the questions and for allowing me to shine the spotlight on them. I hope my readers have gotten to know some of their favorites in a different light and I hope I have introduced you to many new and extraordinary women.

As my last crush...I will crush on myself. Could I be any more conceited? LOL. I will answer those very same questions we have all grown to love and adore.

Thank you again for all the support. This was an amazing journey. An experiment that changed my life and I hope you enjoyed the ride.
