This was a very good Q&A. Try to add some links to the post and check for spelling and formatting issues on the blog. There are a couple things that could be fixed.

Brittney: Your Q& A was very good. I liked how you interviewed a real consumer of the product. It is great how they gave their personal experience of how they liked it. If you added some links, it would make it more personable to make it better!
