I just “met” Michele from Scraps of my Geek Life and she’s already influencing me! On her blog, she shared an infographic detailing her Twitter activity and it was so cool that I had to head over to Visual.ly and create my own. Check it out below. I love all the data but the picture of me is my favorite part. I just made it the background on my work desktop! It’s kind of weird that four of my [...]
As a late twenty-something, I’m creeping into the age range where weddings, baby showers, and children’s birthday parties are becoming more and more common. Bleh. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I do not like attending these occasions. I mean, I go…but that’s more about showing support for my friends over enjoying the actual event. BUT…I guarantee that if any of my friends were to provide cookies like these from Lala’s Cookie Jar, [...]
Selita Eubanks, Cassie, and (sister in my head) Solange Knowles were recently named as the new faces of Carol’s Daughter hair and skincare line. I’m a fan of Carol’s Daughter body products but have never tried the hair products even with all the rave reviews. As the summer time gets here and I go back to rocking the wash ‘n go curly style, I’m sure that I will be all about the conditioners and hair [...]
Just wanted to update you all on my Choose You personal challenge. Last week, the Choose You bloggers decided to focus on the importance of stress reduction in our lives. I was all for it because this is definitely one of my top goals. Last week, I used my post to share one of my favorite breathing techniques from DrWeil.com. It’s called the 4-7-8 exercise and can be done ANYWHERE! The basic details are below: [...]
Welcome to a new journey in the chronicles of The Fabulous Giver. I’ve decided to kick off “Fit and Fab” because it’s time that I really, I mean really start focusing on being the most gorgeous and healthy version of myself. Today, I blogged my inaugural entry for the American Cancer Society’s Choose You blog. In the post, I discuss why I’m finally taking the time to do this, and what my health goals are. [...]
While The Fabulous Giver is my top web priority, I also write for other sites. Here are a couple of my recent posts on other websites. What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear them! Check out my take on Chicago style…I compiled four date night looks for under $100 in my latest Chicagonista article! On The Red Pump Project website, I’m making the case that “Our Young People Don’t Deserve AIDS” in a personal [...]
This weekend, I tried to keep up with the big girls and attend a couple of BlogHer events. Allow me to tip my hat to the ladies who attended the conference sessions, along with the pre- and post-parties. You all deserve some type of medal! On Friday evening, I joined bloggers at the Blogalicious/LUSH Experience in the LUSH Cosmetics section of Macy’s. The private event took place after store hours and was amazing! I am [...]
Even after a year, I consider myself to still be a blogging newbie! I mean, there is an entire world out there that I am still learning and trying to figure out. One thing is for certain…If you are a woman blogger, than the BlogHer conference is definitely where you want to be. The two-day conference is full of great workshops, led by blogging geniuses and business leaders who are blazing paths in social media. [...]
Like most of the world, I was completely in shock while watching the coverage of Michael Jackson unfold. When the first tweet appeared, it was like someone kicked me. And, as I literally became stuck on Twitter, a little piece of my heart kept breaking and breaking until I couldn’t do anything else but dance. And dance. And dance. I cranked the MJ playlist on my iPod from 2:30 in the afternoon until I left [...]
Hey, everyone! It’s 70 degrees AND St. Patrick’s Day so I plan to keep this brief I was featured in yesterday’s Mopwater PR + Media Notes. The column, “Meet Me At The Top,” profiles talented PR job-seekers and was written by one of the nicest (and coolest) ladies that I know, Amanda. You can read the article by clicking here. For all of my Facebook people, The Fabulous Giver has a Facebook page! Are you [...]
