Must Have Lotion For Fall: Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Spray
Wow. That went fast. I blinked and summer is over. Sad face. I love the sun but the sun doesn’t love my skin that much. Since relocating part time to Arizona I have visited the dermatologist more than I would like but it makes me even more neurotic about caring for my skin! One of the reasons I moved to AZ is to take advantage of being outside as much as possible. Of course, this doesn’t apply when it is 115 degrees outside and hard to breathe while standing in the desert. Right now, we are having amazing weather and… Continue Reading
Happy Almost #DressLikeASlutDay
Happy October and you should all be preparing your costumes for Halloween by now. If you haven’t (like me) then you better get your ass in gear because it is coming up quickly. What I have done to prepare is cleanse myself with a 5 day cleanse. No, it was not easy but yes, totally worth it. I almost ate my own arm last night but was saved by a breakfast burrito to break the fast. I couldn’t take a pic because it didn’t last that long and I don’t typically take pics of food (I’ll leave that to all… Continue Reading
Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
This is because I care. Well, we all already know that I love my dog. Dogs rock. They are the best for so many reasons. I mean, Teddy Brewski already has more followers than most people. Plus, my dog in the Bay Area is a rescue and she is the sweetest ever. Her name is Gizmo and she knows we saved her life because we did. Rescues make amazing best friends and there are so many dogs out there that need a loving home! This is because I love dogs and want to help shelter dogs find forever homes. #adoptashelterdogmonth… Continue Reading
My Guest Lecture At The University of Arizona On Social Media
Last week, I drove to the University of Arizona to speak to the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Department students about Blogging, Social Media, and being a Social Media Influencer. The school offers several different options of Majors and Minors focusing on a variety of topics surrounding the innovation and technological advancements of computer technology including the ever-changing landscape of Social Media. I wish they had these options when I was in school. The students were a bit hesitant at first but opened up pretty quickly. The professor had them prepare questions prior to my arrival, which was a… Continue Reading
Everyone’s Favorite Snack and Win $100 From Fiber One
Fiber One is literally everyone’s favorite snack. Just look at the comments I have received doing these posts! While working on the Fiber One campaign, I have had almost 1000 messages from people of all walks of life leaving reasons from A-Z as to why they eat these tasty treats. The cat is out of the bag that Fiber One rocks (but don’t let the cat steal all of them). Plus, I am so happy to be able to tantalize those (very) few people who have not had the opportunity to try them yet! I didn’t even realize what a… Continue Reading
Mediocrity
Words from the wise a.k.a. my dad from his mentor. “The ever presence of mediocrity requires constant vigilance. Mediocrity is everywhere. If you allow mediocrity to happen, you fall into the commonplace and you become ordinary.” Do you know what this means? Do you know someone like this? Is it you? Don’t let it be and don’t stand for it in the workplace, in your relationships or in any part of your life. So, stand out. Work hard. Go for… Continue Reading
Melany Berger Guest Lecturer at UofA for Communication and eSociety
I am going back to school tomorrow at the University of Arizona, not as a student but as a guest lecturer on some of my favorite topics besides rock n’ roll and sports. I will be lecturing the Communication and eSociety students about blogging, social media, and being a social media influencer tomorrow in Tucson, AZ! I am a proud #Wildcatforlife and can’t wait to go visit. It is so much fun going back to school and sharing how I started my business. Even better than that is I am given the opportunity to learn directly from the students about… Continue Reading
Zipcar: $25 Off Wheels When You Want Them
I am a California girl inside and out! More specifically, born in the Bay Area. Love my San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors and San Francisco 49ers (but Kaep can go anytime). However, I moved to Los Angeles to work in the music business when I completed college at the University of Arizona. I will always be a Wildcat and a Bay Area sports fan no matter what zip code I am in! Going back to Cali, Cali, Cali and the fact that NorCal and SoCal are different but what they do have in common is traffic and parking situations…. Continue Reading
Winning With Melany Wynn
When I started this blog a few years back there was not a blogger category for what I do today. Everyone wanted to force me into being a dating blogger and I didn’t want to be pigeon holed writing only about dating. There is nothing wrong with writing about dating because as you know, I do it all the time but I can only write so many posts about the idiots I have encountered in my lackluster dating life for so long. Plus, it is not good for my dating life. Like at all. When someone finds out I write… Continue Reading
