Social Media Galore: Jump In With Me For #MediaChat on Twitter

By Melany on September 3, 2014 in Relationships

Join me for #mediachat and how to stand out amoungst the crowd with a blog and social media channels

Today is a great day (well, besides the dating life part – lol) because I’m honored to be the guest on Aaron Kilby’s #MediaChat. I met Aaron via twitter and his invitation is truly a testament to the overwhelming support of my social media network no matter what zip code I reside. Twitter followers are the best and more supportive than most of my RL friends. I am happy to call Aaron a RL and Twitter friend now. Remember that post I did about getting social for the Cox Communication #CoxGigLife event at the Diamondbacks game? This was the first… Continue Reading

Digital Pen Pals: Online Dating Time Wasters

By Melany on September 2, 2014 in Relationships

Social Media rocks and advances in technology are cool but it is killing my dating life. I can’t remember the last time a guy actually picked up the phone and called me. Also, what is the deal with online dating and guys just wanting to be just texting or email pals? I have enough pals-PAL. what is the deal with online dating and guys just wanting to be just texting or email pals? I have enough pals-PAL.

Guydlines for a Fun Labor Day Weekend

By Melany on August 29, 2014 in Snarky

For most of you, it is a long weekend. For social media people, it is never a weekend. Social Media never sleeps and as you all know – neither do I. But, I am promising myself that this weekend will be different. I am a liar. But, I am going to TRY really hard. You read it here first and I hate to let you down. At least I am tired this time from doing so many new things. I am “re-tired” after looking at all the pics I wanted to include in this post so let me try and… Continue Reading

VOTE For Your Favorite Blimpie FanMercial & You Can Win HUGE

By Melany on August 26, 2014 in Goodies

It is not the VMA’s (which were horrific btw and make me a little concerned for our youth and the future of the music business). It is not the Emmy’s, which sadly I missed last night because I am doing big things here in the desert but, I do have a few super cute and short videos created by talented Blimpie Sub Shop fans that you need to watch! Plus, they need your vote – ASAP because the voting ends August 31st (you can vote daily). You know “Blimpie, America’s Sub Shop”? These Subs sandwiches that are super yum and… Continue Reading

By Melany on August 22, 2014 in Goodies

School’s out for summer…… no more 🙁 – SAD FACE But, back to school means we all get to go shopping even if we are not still in school because there are amazing deals out right now. I mean….check out my sidebar for offers from great brands that I don’t want you to miss. For example, I just bought another one of my favorite tops from Fanatics. This one! So cute – LOVE IT!

Run For Your Life: It’s A Singles Event

By Melany on August 19, 2014 in Relationships

Once upon a time there was a blonde, single girl who was a great catch but could not meet anyone normal so she decided to put on her big girl panties, black eyeliner, 6inch Louis Vuitton heels and try something new. Yes, the Louis may have been a little much for the 115 degree Arizona heat but she wanted to wear them so she did. After getting lost in a second parking lot that week she arrives at her final destination, which is a group of young, active, singles looking to meet people just like them. And…. STOP right there….

Some Days Don’t You Just Ask Yourself “Why”?

By Melany on August 15, 2014 in Snarky

……over and over? “I don’t get it”. I think I say that phrase more than any other phrase besides “I am tired”. Seriously, I am traveling through this world wondering why so many parents have dropped their children on their heads, more than once with, all the stupid shit I observe people doing on an hourly basis. They should provide gloves laced with glue for prevention of parental dropping of children once your babies are handed over from the Doctor. Why don’t people need to have licenses to have children? This is a great question. I just don’t get it…. Continue Reading

Get On The Good Foot: Observations from a Rocker

By Melany on August 11, 2014 in Snarky

Get on the Good Foot by James Brown is my jam

I learned a few things this weekend. 1. Melany is a very popular porn star name and I know this because when Google-ing my name (with the letter “Y” at the end) you will not find it on a Coke bottle, key chain but will find that it is a chosen name for a lot of porn stars. Just look at the images. Google it. See me in the midst of those women. Yeah. So, mom has looked into changing this melodic spelling for me legally. I will keep you updated. DISCLAIMER: I am not a porn star. Melanys is… Continue Reading

I Got Social Last Night

By Melany on August 8, 2014 in Relationships

I went to my first Diamondbacks game last night courtesy of Cox Communication and CoxGiglife. I was invited by a person I follow on twitter and you know you are not in Los Angeles any more when you get invited to an event like that and they actually make it happen! It rocked but I have no more #hashtags to give for at least a few days. Don’t quote me because that is a lie. Social Media events are always funny because everyone has to get their tweets or facebook posts in before everyone else. I am included in this… Continue Reading

Funny Sayings That Make You Go HUH? In The Night

By Melany on August 1, 2014 in Greatest Hits, Snarky

I was sitting at a bar last night, drinking my goose and soda while Bret Michaels sang to me, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and I wondered what the hell is he talking about because roses have way more than just one thorn? The cliché sayings that sound beautiful screeched in a high pitch tone, out of longhaired rocker’s mouths don’t always make sense. Yet, we sing and say things like these all the time. We use weird sayings to make sense of situations when we don’t understand or can’t explain what the hell is going on in any other way. Old sayings have been around forever and still apply today because people are weird and do stupid shit. History repeats itself (and there is another one) but so do stupid people who do stupid things so these terms come in handy. Here are some sayings and the immediate random thoughts that populate in the squishy, overthinking, ADD and OCD thing between my ears. -Karma is a bitch! So am I. But, if she is such a bitch – where has she been hiding… Continue Reading

Read These Tweets While You Sheet

By Melany on July 29, 2014 in Snarky

Twitter. You do it, get it, are addicted to it and prefer it to Facebook or you are scared of it because you don’t know “how” to tweet. For some reason, Twitter is like the Chupacabra of social media conquering. It is like an endless labyrinth and David Bowie may live there but I haven’t followed him yet. One of the most common questions people ask me is can I “teach” them how to tweet. Really? Do you have thoughts in your brain? Good. Then, sit down, sign up and tweet whatever is in your head. Find things you like… Continue Reading
