I got into kind of a bizarre discussion recently with a new friend. I'm not entirely sure how it was brought up, but he asked if I was a "feminist." If you've seen my Instagram profile, you'll notice that it's listed as one of my keywords; however, I hesitated before answering because that's really all … Continue reading “Girl Power” – Ginger Spice

Writer's block: The dreaded complication any creative may face at any given time. Some of us simply remain idle until some burst of creativity hits. I prefer to be more proactive. Whether you’re a blogger, journalist, screenwriter, or even a published novelist, the most dangerous thing to do is give in to your creative … Continue reading The Cure for Writer’s Block

…As #basic as I sound?
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?

Take a #selfie like a pro
Being unemployed sucks. Waiting for companies to make decisions after your kick a** interview sucks, too. At least I’m learning patience. While I definitely keep myself busy with job searching, blogging, researching, working out, and (my least favorite) adulting... I seriously miss working. So, I’ve started opening my job search up to temporary work. Light bulb: Become … Continue reading Take a #selfie like a pro

Do NOT Text Him #20
Spruce up your resume…hahahaha I didn’t actually do this. …What?! Sorry! I didn’t have to. I’d updated my resume literally two days previously. It’s not my fault I’m an overachiever… If your resume kicks ass too, think outside the box. After all, distracting yourself from texting a boy doesn’t have to be menial. I decided … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #20

My first music festival
...yes. I am 24 years old & had never been to a music festival. And I would still have my virginity if I hadn't booked a Brand Ambassador gig for Coca-Cola. I didn't even know what Euphoria was when I applied. I think I've affirmed that unless I can afford VIP passes, music festivals aren't … Continue reading My first music festival

Last Tuesday Night.
I sat along the back wall of a pub as the band hit the final note of their first set. Applause. It was a Tuesday night, so it wasn't exactly a full house but the bar was at least full nearest the stage, leading me to choose kind of an awkward seat. Well, anywhere I … Continue reading Last Tuesday Night.
