Why I Social Podcast Featuring Melany Berger: Shorty Awards Special

whyisocial podcast with Melany Berger

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

Jump In Our #SocialBath On #SocialHangout With Eric Mitchell: Guest Michelle Killibrew

  There is no water shortage in Arizona and I am bathing in a #socialbath glow full of positive bubbles from last weeks #SocialHangout (that trended for nearly 7 hours on twitter). If you missed it, I had the honor of being a guest host along side Eric Mitchell and Vincenzo Landino while we spoke with Tamara McCleary. Tamara is one of the most beautiful women I have had the pleasure of speaking with in my social media journey, both inside and out. There was magic in that show. How much magic? Well, I will just let you know that… Continue Reading

Co-Hosting #SocialHangout With Eric L. Mitchell Fri 4/3/15: Guest Tamara McCleary

Social Hangout

I am fresh off my trip from Social Media Marketing World in San Diego and this week has been full of great opportunities flooding my inbox. The conference gave me a chance to put my face with my snarky name and “TADA”! Plus, I know a lot of you have been asking me to do more videos so guess what? You can catch me live tomorrow, Friday April 3, 2015 at 9AM PST on Social Hangout as a Co-host. Yes please! I can do that! What is Social Hangout? It is the hottest new show on the interwebs. It airs… Continue Reading

Work. Pack. Travel For Work. Repeat. Tweet. #SMMW15

My other fav blonde! Kim @KimReynolds

Happy Monday people! I am one step away from falling on my face but thought I would check in here first before I fall…down for a bit. The last few weeks have been insane but awesome nonetheless. Work. Pack. Travel for work. Repeat. I hate packing but you know that already from this 16 Things I Pack But Never Wear While Traveling. 1) 2 Types of zit cream. I think one is enough and even then, I never use it. 2) Cute shoes on the floor. They should stay there and if they are not comfy at home – why… Continue Reading

Don’t Do These Things At A Social Media Conference

How big is your Klout? #smmw15pickuplines15

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

March Madness Makes Me Social: Win With ArizonaSOCIAL

ArizonaSOCIAL

It’s one of my favorite times of the year! Bring it on! What am I talking about? I am talking March Madness tournament people. Of course, it makes it a lot sweeter that I just got back from watching my University of Arizona Wildcats win the Pac 12 championship in Las Vegas last week and that they won yesterday for their first showing in the NCAA tournament. If you haven’t noticed I love my sports, music, fashion, snark and can’t help but share with you on this blog. The 6 questions I get asked all the time are: What do… Continue Reading

Video Did Not Kill The Radio Star: 16 Times I Wish I Had Video Proof

recording my life because weird things are attracted to me like flies to shit

I am going to tell you something that might not surprise you. People don’t love to read. I would totally look at pretty pictures and funny videos if I could learn everything I needed to know by doing just that. Wouldn’t you? I am so ADD and OCD that sometimes I can’t even re-read my own blog posts. But, don’t tell anyone because that could be a bad look for someone who blogs full time. HA! Anyway, watching a video is so much fun. I wish I had my camera on me for so many experiences I have had along… Continue Reading

What Is A Social Media Influencer?

What is a social media influencer?

  People always ask me what a social media influencer is and what it is that I do for a living? Well, besides being a snarky blogger, I work as an influencer for some great companies. A company that knows the importance of influencers is Cox Business. They are the same company behind the #GetStarted events that take place around the country and supports small businesses and entrepreneurs. They are also the great company that sent me to the UFC fight where I got to fight with the Ice Man himself (not really, but kinda). Tomorrow, I am going back… Continue Reading

The Best Part of the Grammy’s Were The Snarky Tweets

The best part of the Grammy's were the Snarky tweets!

The best part of the Grammys were the snarky tweets…and, not just from me! There are so many funny people on twitter and that is why it’s my favorite. Every day I am supplied with hearty laughs from the snarky people on twitter. I can’t get enough. It is like I am addicted. But, when an award show airs – you can guarantee I am tweeting like a mad woman. There is too much to comment about and it is a lot less annoying than being that person who always talks through awards shows. I was guilty of being that… Continue Reading
