Today is the beginning of my birthday week! Yay! My mom is flying (to Arizona and yes it is hot) to play with me all week long so I will probably be doing a lot more shopping and a lot less blogging. I hope you can forgive me if I am a little MIA for the next few days but I need to shop and shop some more. But, before I go I leave you with a snarky guydline for your viewing pleasure. This is for all of you posting pics of fried dough while I am on a cleanse…. Continue Reading
Depending how long you have been following my blog you may remember a little post called the Snark Tank! I need to do this segment because there are way too many funny items that are actually sold in stores that you might never get a chance to see. Today, I was sent a press release for one of those items. So, I am doing my civic duty with this post to present you with a must have ….for “dawgs” like my ex-boyfriend. You may know someone that is deserving of this little gem and he may still be in… Continue Reading
I have not done an installment of “Why People Like Memes” in a few months and since I am moving slower than my ex-boyfriend running for the last piece of cake at a party, I am pleased to present you with a few extra guydlines for your snarky, reading pleasure. Enjoy and hope you are having a stellar Tuesday morning. BTW – I am using the number 4 for this one since I get confused the higher the Roman Numeral goes. K? Better to be safe than sorry and called out by trolls later down the line, right? I am… Continue Reading
Happy day after the Shorty Awards! Thank you for 577 nominations from my followers which earned this blog the BEST award, the Vox Populi a.k.a. fan favorite in blogger at the 2015 Shorty Awards! That is the one I wanted. I am truly grateful! Plus, I couldn’t imagine having better dates than my parents who have been supportive since day one, no matter what life has thrown our way. It hasn’t EVER been easy but we have always had each other. I love you both! Thanks for sharing this trip and honor with me. I know my sister, Brenna would… Continue Reading
Happy Shorty Awards Day and Night! The day has finally arrived for the Shorty Awards and I will be attending the show tonight. You can watch it live on ShortyAwards.com! But, before you watch the show make sure to listen to me on the Why I Social Podcast with Chris Barrows. I met (via twitter) Chris through my co-hosting appearances on Social Hangout with Eric Mitchell. Yes, I know that may be confusing to some who are not online as much as we are but I promise you that both of these men are putting out excellent and entertaining content not to be missed. I have been a guest on other podcasts but the Why I Social stands out. Chris is personable and flexible (with my crazy travel schedule). So, what makes his show stand out in a sea of content? Well, as he explains on the Why I Social… Continue Reading
I wonder how many times a day I shake my head at all the idiots I know? When I say that I work as a flytrap for all the stupid people in the world, I really do. So, what does one do when they can’t believe all the stupidy around them? One takes to Facebook to ask for a little help from their real friends. This is a real thread from my snarky friends on Facebook! Thanks to everyone who replied! I told you this was good for a post! When I say I work as a flytrap for all… Continue Reading
And…. commence packing ….again! I hate packing but have decided not to fully empty my suitcase any more because I am always on the road. Thanks to BMW for giving me this M suitcase so I can travel in style. And where am I off to next? Well, Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, CA. This is by far one of the best conferences and I highly suggest attending if you have the chance. Last year, I wrote a post called 16 Things Not To Do At (Any/Social Media) Conference and I just re-read that post and LOL’d. No… Continue Reading
Today is International Women’s Day and I come from an amazing family of exceptional women. I am very proud to be a strong woman and owe that to my grandmother, mother, and sister as my daily inspirations in life. The word “Hero” is the only choice to describe all three of them. They are and were my strength and what pushes me to be a better woman every day. Being a determined, hard working woman… Continue Reading

There are so many posts on this site that sometimes I forget snarky nuggets I have written. Thankfully, there are sites that help me get content to you without it being lost in the blogosphere forever such as StumbleUpon. If you don’t know it, you should. You could spend the rest of your life on that site and never get up to go to the bathroom. I don’t recommend it because I dated a guy that did things like that and I think he is still sitting in front of his computer, but I do recommend allotting a certain amount… Continue Reading
Please nominate MelanysGuydlines (a.k.a. Melanyb12 on twitter) for a Shorty Award in the blogger category. The Shorty awards are the Oscars for Social Media.

Well, there has been a lot going on over here at MelanysGuydlines lately. Right now, I am neck and neck for first place in a shorty award for blogger. YES! I just need one more vote to be tied for #1. WOOHOO! But, I need your help to take that first place slot. Can I count on you? Last year I was up for this award and missed it by one slot. I know my snarky followers are not going to let that happen in 2015, right? Thank you to all that have nominated me for a shorty award… Continue Reading
