Grateful: #SocialHangout Trending on Twitter For 7 Hours

Grateful: #SocialHangout Trending on Twitter For 7 Hours

  Grateful is what I feel today! It is so easy in our lives to get caught up in the minutia of daily tasks and forget to take the time to smell the roses. Life is not always easy but we all need to take the time to be thankful for what we have, the people in our lives and our relationships. I feel extremely blessed to have met some incredible people on this long, strange trip called life. So, this weekend when you are with your friends and family – remember, love one another. Life is too short not… Continue Reading

Social Hangout

I am fresh off my trip from Social Media Marketing World in San Diego and this week has been full of great opportunities flooding my inbox.

You can catch me live tomorrow, Friday April 3, 2015 at 9AM PST on Social Hangout as a Co-host. Yes please! I can do that! What is Social Hangout? It is the hottest new show on the interwebs. It airs… Continue Reading

Work. Pack. Travel For Work. Repeat. Tweet. #SMMW15

My other fav blonde! Kim @KimReynolds

Happy Monday people! I am one step away from falling on my face but thought I would check in here first before I fall…down for a bit. The last few weeks have been insane but awesome nonetheless. Work. Pack. Travel for work. Repeat. I hate packing but you know that already from this 16 Things I Pack But Never Wear While Traveling. 1) 2 Types of zit cream. I think one is enough and even then, I never use it. 2) Cute shoes on the floor. They should stay there and if they are not comfy at home – why… Continue Reading

Don’t Do These Things At A Social Media Conference

How big is your Klout? #smmw15pickuplines15

And…. commence packing ….again! I hate packing but have decided not to fully empty my suitcase any more because I am always on the road. Thanks to BMW for giving me this M suitcase so I can travel in style. And where am I off to next? Well, Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, CA. This is by far one of the best conferences and I highly suggest attending if you have the chance. Last year, I wrote a post called 16 Things Not To Do At (Any/Social Media) Conference and I just re-read that post and LOL’d. No… Continue Reading

It Is International Women’s Day Every, Single Snarky Day!

It is Women's Day Every Single, Snarky Day!

Today is International Women’s Day and I come from an amazing family of exceptional women. I am very proud to be a strong woman and owe that to my grandmother, mother, and sister as my daily inspirations in life. The word “Hero” is the only choice to describe all three of them. They are and were my strength and what pushes me to be a better woman every day. Being a determined, hard working woman… Continue Reading

32 Snarky Relationships Tips from My Dog Teddy Brewski- PART 2

32 snarky relationship tips from my dog Teddy brewski - part 2

There are so many posts on this site that sometimes I forget snarky nuggets I have written. Thankfully, there are sites that help me get content to you without it being lost in the blogosphere forever such as StumbleUpon. If you don’t know it, you should. You could spend the rest of your life on that site and never get up to go to the bathroom. I don’t recommend it because I dated a guy that did things like that and I think he is still sitting in front of his computer, but I do recommend allotting a certain amount… Continue Reading

What Is A Social Media Influencer?

What is a social media influencer?

  People always ask me what a social media influencer is and what it is that I do for a living? Well, besides being a snarky blogger, I work as an influencer for some great companies. A company that knows the importance of influencers is Cox Business. They are the same company behind the #GetStarted events that take place around the country and supports small businesses and entrepreneurs. They are also the great company that sent me to the UFC fight where I got to fight with the Ice Man himself (not really, but kinda). Tomorrow, I am going back… Continue Reading

Valentine’s Day: Who Needs Cupid When You Have eHarmony?

Valentines Day: Who Needs Cupid When you have eHarmony?

Valentine’s Day is a special holiday and if you get lucky enough maybe it will be warm, fuzzy and touchy-feely in all the right places. I like warm and fuzzy. Who doesn’t? Who are you going to get touchy-feely with and where will you find this person? You don’t want to just spend this holiday with just anyone do you? You deserve better than that and so do I! Combined with the pressure to find that perfect someone and because your parents want grandchildren before they are too old, the search can become overwhelming and exhausting. But, you have to… Continue Reading

What Do You Really Know About Singles In America?

Singles In America study by Match.com

I was excited to be invited to Match.com’s event for #SinglesInAmerica again this year. For five years, Match.com has brought America’s most detailed study on singles and their beliefs and behaviors. This year they surveyed more than 5,600 diverse singles from all races, ages and walks of life with the help of ResearchNow and Dr. Helen Fisher (an expert on dating). The survey aims at representing real single people. It is not just aimed at Match.com users and is super comprehensive. The event was so successful that the #SinglesInAmerica trended on twitter for the third year in a row! I… Continue Reading

Know What You Know. Know What You Don’t Know And Learn That Too!

WHAT’S UP PARTY PEOPLE? I have been up every single night since I have moved into my new places thanks to my fantastic puppy named Teddy Brewski! But, I am getting my new computer set up in a few minutes so I can blog my heart away even when Teddy decides to bark at 3 AND 5AM!! Moving update: Pretty much done unpacking because I can’t stand it anymore. Being OCD and ADD is a problem and right now I NEED to my computer and I must blog….a lot! However, I do need a new chair for my desk since… Continue Reading

Reality Crowd TV: Relationships, Crowdfunding, Entrepreneurship & More

Reality Crowd TV: Relationships, Crowdfunding, Entrepreneurship & More

The social media world is vast and offers so many opportunities I wouldn’t otherwise have without this blog and MelanysGuydlines channels. This morning I was honored to “hangout” as guest on Reality Crowd TV discussing crowdfunding, entrepreneurship, and relationship marketing in social Media & PR. The only catch was we taped via Google Hangouts and most guests were on the East Coast. As you know, I am somewhere in the world but on the West Coast. So, when I woke Teddy Brewski up at 5AM to take him for a walk and it was pitch black in the desert –… Continue Reading
