It’s been 4 months now that I’ve been sugar free. I’m 25lbs down and feeling SO MUCH BETTER! No I didn’t start this diet to lose weight, I did start it because I felt like crap and my health was failing. In addition to sugar, I’ve given up other things like starch, some grains, glutinous foods, yeast,…
Is your shave smooth? Go ahead and check, I’ll wait. . . . (I’m talking to you guys out there too!) For years I’ve tried shave creams, soaps and body washes to get a silky shave, and without fail, nearly every product I used would require me to fall back on a lotion or baby…
There is nothing that I love more than a healthy recipe that is made with fresh vegetables. I’m pretty sure that soups and stews are some of my favorite “create as you go” dishes that rarely go wrong. This recipe can be served as a meal of it’s own or you can drain the…
Early this morning I came across a tweet that shared a timely piece by By Howard Kurtz of CNN : Media meanness: When the nastiness goes too far: About halfway through The New York Times review of TV chef… bit.ly/UM8UgP #cnn — Resa Harrison (@PreciousPixie4U) November 26, 2012 I’ve read Howard’s piece 3 times 4 times…
Have you ever had your iPad get stuck in the low battery/apple icon loop of doom? Not even enough juice to go into recovery mode? Yeah. That. Off and on since Saturday morning I have been searching for a way to get my iPad to snap out of it’s low battery/apple icon cycle of doom….

I remember when I first started my blog. I didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with it and what I ended up sharing was a smattering of what I found interesting on the web. Over the years I have learned so much, as we all have, about the importance of having a firm…
I recently came across an ad from Toyota in an issue of Fortune magazine that made me rip it out and add it to my Blog Post folder. The ad was sharing a story from Sergio Monserrate. Now I can honestly say that I am on the fence about whether or not he is a…
I finally watched Margaret Heffernan’s Ted Talk today over lunch, ‘Dare to Disagree‘. [view interactive transcript here] Something from her talk struck me: “So how do organizations think? Well, for the most part, they don’t. And that isn’t because they don’t want to, it’s really because they can’t. And they can’t because the people inside of them are too afraid…
Since I finished my last blanket a while back, I’ve been trying out new materials to crochet with besides yarn – this week it just so happens that I picked up jute. It’s normally reserved for tying off presents and party invitations but, ever since I crocheted a jute coaster last year for my desk, I thought it would…
Though the before looks pretty – I can tell you that it did not lay so evenly when put on. I love the nautical stripes and thought that with a little help, this summer sweater (it is so soft!) would get a lot more milage if it lost the cowl. I’m no master at sewing…
As the holidays approach I am faced with a long list of “TO DO” before the family and friend visits begin. Each evening I work feverishly to finish handmade gifts and started painting the trim and book cases in the library this weekend. I was still not happy with the “feel” that the big black…
As I sit here this morning and process through the online maelstrom surrounding Jared Fogle, the grassroots social media/brand spokesperson from Subway, I see vicious comments and quips being posted at a dizzying rate…even from people that I thought wouldn’t be so quick to pick up a pitchfork and torch. There is something I want…
I know y’all are going to get sick of me bitching about inbox spam but DAMN. It’s like the spam dam broke and all the smarmy sales pitches are flooding my inboxes. Every. Last. One. LinkedIn, Email, Facebook, Twitter, and yes, even my post office box. . . gah. Just. Fucking. Stop. Two things. 1. This type…
I was a little late figuring out that Hootstuite templates feature (see video below) is gone for good (for free and pro users) and was replaced with a new, but not so improved, drafts feature on April 15th, 2015. Why OH why would they change this amazing feature? Let’s just say that I found out the…
Well, are they? Chances are you may not know even if they are. How your employees behave while you are around is one thing, but what about what they say to your customers and vendors when you aren’t around? What do they say to their family, spouses and friends about your online efforts? What are they…
Whether you have 1 employee or 1000, here are 7 ways to empower them to become brand evangelists. Educate your employees on how to properly use social media. Give your employees clear examples and detailed instructions on where you need their help and A. Don’t get frustrated that your employees aren’t sharing your content when you don’t make the time…
WAIT! Before you hit send on that status update, I encourage you to carefully consider if it should be a blog post. *brace yourselves for some tough love* Yeah I know, you hate writing f*cking blog posts.Well – tough shit. “It takes too long.” “It’s not my job!” “What’s the point?” Look, if you’re not willing…
