Content must be original and brunch related and may include a variety of topics, such as, brunch/bloody mary reviews of restaurants, brunch fashion tips, city guides, event coverage, brunch related advice, rants, etc. Our content thus far has been very focused on bloody marys, however we are looking to expand and open to new ideas.
