Trying NuShape
Earlier this year I started taking NuShape to help with my fitness goals. At first, I was nervous that NuShape would make me jittery due to the caffeine. The great thing is, NuShape does not have any caffeine in it. I don't drink caffeine (except in tea) so this made...
Fundraising for LLS
Tomorrow, I'm fundraising for LLS at Zaxby's in Marietta! This is my second fundraising event and I'm excited to have Zaxby's for lunch and dinner tomorrow 🙂 my favorite is the Zaxby's blackened chicken salad and ice water. (Something about their ice crushed makes it...
To Share or Not To Share?
Occasionally, I struggle with how much I want to share on my blog and social media sites. I used to put content up on social media sites for fun. Social media is still fun, but things have changed. Crazy to think that I got involved in only 2008. In five years, lots...
Yep, I Screwed Up
Last Friday, I read the letter that Groupon CEO, Andrew Mason, wrote his staff about leaving the company. Basically, he admitted that he was fired and then went on to explain why. I thought that the letter was honest, revealing and took major guts. How many C-level...

Off the Grid
This week has been busy! I fell off the grid. I'm using grid because I watched Tron Legacy this week. I love that movie. The Grid I took a break from being "social" for a few days. When I say social, I mean using social media. I know there are many eyes on me and that...
The Millennial Wine Enthusiast
Wine is not hip. Wine is not cool. Wine is for old people. Those three sentences summed up my thoughts on wine long ago. Interesting how we judge things before really trying them. That's what I used to think. Who drinks wine? I was young, naive and I really didn't...
All the Sick Days I Never Had…
Well, it caught up to me! Remember when I blogged about using Chestal and getting over a cough? Chestal did it's job, however, I kept doing all the wrong things and not taking care of myself. Terrible. Then the moody weather here. One day it's 30 the next 70. So, now...
