So this distance thing…is all a load of bull. I’m sitting at home. In my underwear. At 8PM on a Tuesday night. I just got home from happy hour with my best friend. I’m not drunk, not even close, but nevertheless…the alcohol has clouded my focus. I’m frustrated. It’s been two months since I’ve had … Continue reading 1.19.16

she’s back…
Perhaps some of you are wondering where I’ve been for the last few weeks…then again, maybe you haven’t. I can assure you I haven’t gone far, but I have taken a bit of a hiatus. Writing is my escape. My problem-solver. It’s what I do when I’m ecstatic and loving life, but it’s especially something … Continue reading she’s back…

Your Guide to More Creative Posts
One of the most common questions I'm asked by potential clients (and former clients at my last position) is "What types of things should I be posting?" It may sound silly when you say it outloud, but it can be extremely frustrating. One thing you'll find, and I'm sure I've said it before, is that … Continue reading Your Guide to More Creative Posts

Engagement 107
Well, we've made it: I've run out of topics concerning engagement, so here's the final one! I'll be short 'n' sweet, since this one is pretty low-tech. Going offline. ...You didn't think the point of social media marketing was to not do any marketing in real life, did you? If you did, it's cool. It's … Continue reading Engagement 107

Just Dance
So, in my craziness of moving & cleaning, I came across my college admissions essay that I used to apply (and get in to) UIC. Talk about nostalgia. Also, I can't believe I compared dance to crack... Time to get back into classes... Dance is for me, what crack is to a crack addict: … Continue reading Just Dance

I miss college…
I might be a tad obsessed with the Harry Potter Series and somehow, I managed to incorporate that into a few research papers in college. I wrote my Senior Communication Thesis on how Lord Voldemort represents societal fears in the 21st Century, and the essay below was for an English elective. Our prompt was to … Continue reading I miss college…

Engagement 106
So, we've moved on from the Christmas/New Years part of Engagement Season to my least favorite part of the season: Valentine's Day. Nothing makes me gag more...but that's beside the point. Last week, I gave y'all a quick crash-course on Twitter Chats and this week, I'll give you a few tips on how to host … Continue reading Engagement 106

Engagement 105
Okay, so I may have fibbed a bit the last time I posted. I underestimated just how busy I would be with my recent move and didn't quite make it to posting a Social Solutions post last week...sorry! The good news is, my new apartment is finally in order, which means I can actually focus … Continue reading Engagement 105

Back to business as usual…
Wow, so it's been a bit of a crazy week because of my move across town, but I think I've finally got my life under control! Being a grown-up is freaking hard. All I've wanted, even as a child, was to grow up and get that "big girl job" that I'd love. I've never cared … Continue reading Back to business as usual…

Meet My Roomie.
This one is definitely inspired by my sentimental side...which would totally make this girl gag. As I mentioned the other day, typically, my goal with feature pieces is to focus on clients and leaders in my industry; however, I believe this girl deserves a shout-out of her own. She's definitely an up-and-coming digital marketing/e-commerce leader … Continue reading Meet My Roomie.
