The secret is out! I took the #maxx50challenge and it was so much fun! My response to TJMaxx when they asked if I was interested was, “I have been training for this my whole life!”

Does this make me a maxxinista?

Ever wonder what it’s like behind the scenes?

Here’s how it works:

TJMAXX selects influencers from around the country to take on the challenge. My task was to complete stocking stuffers for 4 family members, each under $50.

I went the night before and did some “research.” Do you know how fun it is to do “research” in TJMaxx? The morning of my challenge, my two friends and I hit the TJMaxx in Mt. Pleasant with cell phones in hand.

The store manager was nice enough to let us in early so we did not have background people or noise in the videos, because TJMaxx gets busy fairly soon after those doors open in the morning.

First, we shot an introduction. Then it was time to shop!

Friends getting sidetracked too!

After a week of waiting, the secret is out! I had to stay quiet about this fun experience until TJMaxx went live on their Instagram page with a story made form content I sent.

I met the challenge!

Thanks to TJMaxx for the fun experience! Check the tab on my Instagram for the TJMaxx version and how they put all of my videos together. #ad (sponsored)
