Hollywood (Hollyweird): So Cliché, But This Is LA

By Melany on November 3, 2015 in Greatest Hits, Relationships, Snarky

I am in Los Angeles for the week and thought I would revisit a post that describes how living in Los Angeles is not like what you see on TV. There are some great parts about living in Southern California (including the weather and the shopping) but there are some other reasons that make it challenging to live and navigate this harsh environment (they could probably film an episode of Naked and Afraid in some parts of LA). So, while I am in Beverly Hills, I thought I would share one of my favorite snarky posts and see if you… Continue Reading

My Guest Lecture At The University of Arizona On Social Media

By Melany on October 14, 2015 in Relationships

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

Mediocrity

By Melany on October 9, 2015 in Relationships, Snarky

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

Winning With Melany Wynn

By Melany on October 1, 2015 in Relationships

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

Anthony was first class from start to finish and I think his voice rocks! What about you? Thank you for the opportunity to share a bit of… Continue Reading

So many people think about the relationship they have with their other half, or the relationship they wish they had, that they neglect the most important relationship.

Here’s how to improve it: Be Kind to Yourself The first step is to be kind to yourself. If you’re going to be your own friend, you need to speak to yourself in your head like you would a friend.

Fantastic Presents For A Boyfriend Who’s Hard To Buy For

By Melany on August 27, 2015 in Relationships

Can we just agree that buying a gift for a guy, any guy is hard. I had a boyfriend once, a long time ago now. I bought him this lovely designer jacket. It was perfect and incredibly stylish. Do you know what he did? He asked me how much it was and when I finally told him, asked for the receipt. He then said it was a waste of money, took it back and bought a different jack for a tenner from a superstore. Needless to say, he wasn’t my boyfriend for much longer. I think most guys think girls… Continue Reading

Take Control of Your Breakup With These Post-Relationship Methods

By Laura on July 1, 2015 in Relationships

I have been under the weather and a bit mia but thankfully Sara is here to save the day with this post. When you’ve just been through a breakup, it can be a difficult and emotional time for you. No doubt you’re feeling vulnerable and upset. It’s easy to beat yourself up and over analyse things, wondering where you went wrong. This isn’t healthy, and you need to avoid doing this where you can. IMAGE SOURCE Instead, what you need to do is approach the breakup with maturity and confidence. You have some options that you can focus on here…. Continue Reading

How to Make Yourself More Dateable

By Laura on June 30, 2015 in Relationships

So, you’ve been out of the dating game for a while? Maybe you went through a break-up and you felt the need to stay on the sidelines while your heart healed. Maybe you’ve been too busy with your career to slow down and find someone to share life with. Or maybe there’s been nothing stopping you but the fear that comes from low self-confidence. Whatever the reasons, if you’ve decided you’re ready to get out there and start dating, you’ll want to stop and take a few moments to conduct something of a personal inventory.
