All Things Me and Marketing
rI was a little late to the makeup game. I started wearing it in 8th grade after my mom bought my sisters and I pallets “just for fun”. Having it right in front of me without having to ask my mom to buy it or ask if it was okay for me to start wearing […]
The book Status Update, by Alice E. Marwick, introduces the readers to the book by defining Web 2.0. Unlike Web 1.0, it includes interaction, collaboration, active participation, and user generated content. The users of social media platforms, such as blogs, social networks, and photo sharing sites, create the interactive dialogue. In a communication class that […]
The weeks in the office are gone. No more saying good morning to your corner of people or hoping one brings in donuts. The meetings you love no longer include you and you can actually sleep past 6am during the weekdays (should your class schedule permit it). Back to school, back to school, to show […]
My URL was in our procession long before it was officially created. It was discussed during my first trip home, purchased during my second, forgotten about during the third, was at the bottom of the to- do list during the fourth, and was finally given a few hours, thanks to my wonderful mother, during my […]
A year ago today I woke up thinking I’d spend my day as I did the day before. The place that’s flooded with flowers, tissues, hardwood floors in patient’s rooms, very good muffins, and a sadness to it that I’m sure never leaves. I had never thought that hospice would be a place that I’d […]

For years and years I’ve volunteered at and attended events that were created to raise money for cancer research. I’ve participated in walks/ runs and watched as my sisters, along side my dad, shaved their heads raising thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research with the St. Baldricks non- profit. I’ve gotten three haircuts in […]
You usually wouldn’t notice how much or how little you move in a day. Before I had a fitbit I wouldn’t even care but getting my screen to light up with fireworks once I’ve hit 10,000 steps is a little win. However, reaching that number can be more difficult than you think. Sometime’s walking around […]
My goal this year is to get more views on my blog. I took a 6 month break where I wrote only about my Dad and I’m ready to incorporate him within different topics that will be interesting to a wider range of people. So, one thing I’m starting is an Instagram (follow that here) specifically […]
