Shave those goddamn legs...you can't keep living like this. Pretty sure it’d been about 2 weeks since I last shaved. Please don’t judge me. [ Don't worry. I actually did/wrote this several weeks ago and am now in recovery, on a regular shaving schedule. ] In my defense, I almost always wear jeans (whether I … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him#25
Have you ever seen the Sarah Jessica Parker movie I Don’t Know How She Does It? If you haven’t and you like SJP, it’s a good watch. SJP plays a mom with a loving husband and young kids, living in New York. She’s also a career woman, and a very successful one at that. That’s … Continue reading IDK how they do it: Celebrating our moms
...Or just delete his number. Yep. I went there. Also totally jumped ahead because I'm a #bossbabe and I can. But you know what? Sometimes, you just have to do it. I looked in the mirror one day and wondered what the hell I was doing. There are tons of guys who would LOVE … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #54
Hey. Did you know Mother's Day is this weekend? Shocking, I know. Because you haven't been bombarded with advertisements from flower companies since Easter, right? Alright, well I’m about to bombard you with one more “gift idea” type post…because I’m a mama’s girl, so I’m feeling inspired. And if your mom is anything like mine, … Continue reading Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Clean your room...it needs to be done. That awkward moment when Elite Daily starts to sound like your mother... Anyways. I live in a studio apartment, so for me, cleaning my room means cleaning literally the entire unit. Which is slightly more than just cleaning your room as far as space…but a lot more in … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #34 & #14 (yes, in that order)
Paint your nails...so you physically can't. Ugh. This is a hard one…because I have ADHD and don’t know how to sit still. Also, I’m a writer…so if my nails are wet, sure, it’s great that I can’t text…but I also can’t write or type or read, for that matter. And there are few things I … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #3
I thought I'd take a moment on this cloudy Sunday Funday to make a small disclaimer: I'm not as girly, shallow, or basic as my "Do NOT Text Him" series makes me sound. Granted, I'm sipping mimosas in my favorite floral romper as I type this. But here's the thing: This whole list of things to … Continue reading …As #basic as I sound?
Match with someone else on Tinder. Wait, ew. Sorry Elite Daily, you should probably check up on your dating apps. It’s all about Bumble now. Tinder may have spearheaded the “swipe right movement” but now, it’s just like some sketchy dive bar that only serves Budweiser and is packed with creeps smoking in the alley. … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #1
Go to the gym without your phone…remember that iPod mini you have? This one was a tough, since I no longer have a music-only device; I had to think outside the box. I actually like the idea of going just about anywhere and leaving my phone behind, but how am I supposed to work out … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #7
Get so drunk you pass out…with your phone on silent. My phone is almost always on silent, for the record. It scares me when it rings. But this was unintentionally my Sunday…because mimosas. At least I went to church, though. That totally makes up for the entire bottle of bubbles I drank…and then the half … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #21
