Tears from my mother and chills on my arms as I can’t stop watching this news reporting terrorists killing innocent people in Paris. What kind of world are we living in? I wanted to post something today on the blog but I think we should pray for Paris and pray for one another. #prayforParis… Continue Reading
I am due for another installment as to why people like memes. It has been a while and I have been collecting a few good “guydlines” for your snarky, reading pleasure. Sometimes there is a theme to the memes I create and sometime there isn’t but it is all based on something I am experiencing at the time. They usually start as Facebook posts or tweet and then develop into picture with pretty colors and interesting fonts. If that is what I have to do to relieve my snarkasm then that is what I am going to do! Make sure… Continue Reading
I am still in LA and definitely not relaxing! I need to take Laura’s tips here to heart and so do some of these for myself! Thanks for another awesome post! Take notes! We all have hectic schedules and busy lives that can leave us feeling exhausted. After a long day at the office, it’s far too easy to spend the evening parked in front of the television. While you might think that this will help to relax you, a night in front of the TV won’t allow your mind to unwind in the right way. Image credit To ensure… Continue Reading
I am in Los Angeles for the week and thought I would revisit a post that describes how living in Los Angeles is not like what you see on TV. There are some great parts about living in Southern California (including the weather and the shopping) but there are some other reasons that make it challenging to live and navigate this harsh environment (they could probably film an episode of Naked and Afraid in some parts of LA). So, while I am in Beverly Hills, I thought I would share one of my favorite snarky posts and see if you… Continue Reading
Thank you to Holly Tomlinson for this post!! Some great tips here. I love #5!! Whether you’re moving for a job or just for a much needed change, making your way to a new city can be a rough task, but it’s also an exciting time. Use these tips to make your move the best it can be and save yourself some stress along the way. How to Find the Perfect Apartment Looking for the right apartment is essential when you’re making the move to a new city. It’s a good idea to find a monthly lease at first; it… Continue Reading
Wow. That went fast. I blinked and summer is over. Sad face. I love the sun but the sun doesn’t love my skin that much. Since relocating part time to Arizona I have visited the dermatologist more than I would like but it makes me even more neurotic about caring for my skin! One of the reasons I moved to AZ is to take advantage of being outside as much as possible. Of course, this doesn’t apply when it is 115 degrees outside and hard to breathe while standing in the desert. Right now, we are having amazing weather and… Continue Reading
Happy October and you should all be preparing your costumes for Halloween by now. If you haven’t (like me) then you better get your ass in gear because it is coming up quickly. What I have done to prepare is cleanse myself with a 5 day cleanse. No, it was not easy but yes, totally worth it. I almost ate my own arm last night but was saved by a breakfast burrito to break the fast. I couldn’t take a pic because it didn’t last that long and I don’t typically take pics of food (I’ll leave that to all… Continue Reading
This is because I care. Well, we all already know that I love my dog. Dogs rock. They are the best for so many reasons. I mean, Teddy Brewski already has more followers than most people. Plus, my dog in the Bay Area is a rescue and she is the sweetest ever. Her name is Gizmo and she knows we saved her life because we did. Rescues make amazing best friends and there are so many dogs out there that need a loving home! This is because I love dogs and want to help shelter dogs find forever homes. #adoptashelterdogmonth… Continue Reading
Last week, I drove to the University of Arizona to speak to the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Department students about Blogging, Social Media, and being a Social Media Influencer. The school offers several different options of Majors and Minors focusing on a variety of topics surrounding the innovation and technological advancements of computer technology including the ever-changing landscape of Social Media. I wish they had these options when I was in school. The students were a bit hesitant at first but opened up pretty quickly. The professor had them prepare questions prior to my arrival, which was a… Continue Reading
Fiber One is literally everyone’s favorite snack. Just look at the comments I have received doing these posts! While working on the Fiber One campaign, I have had almost 1000 messages from people of all walks of life leaving reasons from A-Z as to why they eat these tasty treats. The cat is out of the bag that Fiber One rocks (but don’t let the cat steal all of them). Plus, I am so happy to be able to tantalize those (very) few people who have not had the opportunity to try them yet! I didn’t even realize what a… Continue Reading
Words from the wise a.k.a. my dad from his mentor. “The ever presence of mediocrity requires constant vigilance. Mediocrity is everywhere. If you allow mediocrity to happen, you fall into the commonplace and you become ordinary.” Do you know what this means? Do you know someone like this? Is it you? Don’t let it be and don’t stand for it in the workplace, in your relationships or in any part of your life. So, stand out. Work hard. Go for… Continue Reading
I am going back to school tomorrow at the University of Arizona, not as a student but as a guest lecturer on some of my favorite topics besides rock n’ roll and sports. I will be lecturing the Communication and eSociety students about blogging, social media, and being a social media influencer tomorrow in Tucson, AZ! I am a proud #Wildcatforlife and can’t wait to go visit. It is so much fun going back to school and sharing how I started my business. Even better than that is I am given the opportunity to learn directly from the students about… Continue Reading
