Good Morning and happy Hump Day! In celebration of it being just that I thought I would share a little known skill I possess and might need to add to my media kit. I can rap (ish) the entire Humpty Dance by Digital Underground. Yes, that is me in an Uber. Highly recommend using uber when you feel a little happy of have a drink or 4. It is awesome. Also, take a look at my updated media kit if you have a product or work for a brand that might be a snarky fit for MelanysGuydlines. Always looking for… Continue Reading

FORE: Gone Golfing
I did it. I finally got in touch with a golf pro and am now on the golf course taking lessons. It is super challenging and takes patience, which I don’t usually have but need if I am going to be good at this sport. Yes, this is a sport. I apologize to my friend in seventh grade when I said golf wasn’t a sport. Wow – was I wrong! In my defense, I was an avid softball player and couldn’t see anything else but a softball bat and a ball (and cute baseball players). So, I am finally taking… Continue Reading
3 Pieces of Relationship Advice You Should Never Follow
Love this super snarky post from Laura! She is really getting the hang of the snark! Well done and great tips here. I would have been equally annoyed with this guy and probably would have told him where he could go before he proceeded with point two. Take it away. Last night I came face to face with my first ever real life ‘Life Coach’. And I can quite honestly say that I could have gone my entire life without meeting him, or any other life coach for that matter, and been perfectly happy. But this article is not about… Continue Reading
I Just Let Go With the letgo App: Try It and letgo
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of letgo for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Well, we all have stuff and if you are like me then, we both have a lot of stuff. Some things seem like a good buy and then you get home and ask yourself “Self, do I really need 5 different colors of the same exact shirt or skirt or glasses?” Recently, I moved (again) and can’t believe how little time it takes to accumulate things that I just can’t use because I am only one person and don’t have enough… Continue Reading

Find Gift Inspiration for Friends with My Guide
It has been a few weeks since we have enjoyed a post from Laura. Happy to share this great post for friend gift inspo. BTW: she mentions jewelry here and you should stay tuned for an exciting jewelry announcement next week! Getting gifts for friends can be easy, or it can take you forever.

I love shopping for my besties, but wanting to make them happy means it… Continue Reading
Not All Followers Are Created Equal
If you missed me last night…here is the Blab after few technical mishaps, dog barking, spelling errors, echoed sound, mother nature fighting me for bad lighting! Seriously. Can anyone recommend a small lighting kit that doesn’t suck or can you ask Mother Nature for a little more natural light for me please?! Thanks #socialmediaproblems Take 2.

Social Media “No-No’s” and Pet Peeves
Let’s face it. The majority of us spend a lot of time online. I think I might spend more than the average person (and Teddy Brewski more than the average puppy) on some form of electronic device. To be fair, it is my job and there are many things I love about being fully online and engaged with people from all over the world on my computer or phone. However there are some “no-no’s” that people do online that drive me up the wall. 1. Being a flat out nasty, hater or troll. We are very lucky to enjoy our… Continue Reading
MG Runs On Dunkin’ Donuts: Pistachio Coffee & All Day Breakfast
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dunkin’ Donuts through Blog Meets Brand. All snarky thoughts are my own. Happy Spring! I love this time of year because there is so much going on and a lot of things to do! The only problem I have right now is that I have less energy trying to be everywhere and do everything on time. It seems like I have an event every single day and I don’t want to miss anything. So, I need coffee! Sometimes, I even need a cup twice a day. Seriously. Like today,… Continue Reading
We Are Better Than This
I don’t cover politics on my blog or on my social media channels. MelanysGuydlines was created as a cathartic outlet for snarky jokes and laughter. Don’t we have enough to deal with on a daily basis? MG should be a place to come and escape issues we face in our daily lives. But, today I wanted to share something on the blog because it should be shared here too. First, I tweeted this. Second, I shared on Facebook and some moron replied to the post with such a rude comment that I won’t repeat it here. What I said in… Continue Reading

Include Pampering In Your Getting Ready Routine
This guest post from Laura is speaking to me right now! I just got back from Sedona, Arizona for a little R&R and I want to go back! It was not long enough and I realized being there that I was way overdue for “me time” and I need to do “me time” much more often! Relaxation is the key to everything in our lives. So, remember to make time for yourselves and enjoy life. It is too short! Over to Laura…. We all have pretty hectic lives these days. Sometimes it feels like work gets on top of us… Continue Reading
