BlogU: Middle Age Middle School

I had the weirdest dream: I’m sharing a couch in a hotel bar with “I Just Want to Pee Alone” NYT Bestselling Author, Jen Mann. Our conversation meanders from our mutual admiration for Hugh Howey to me giving her shit about the fact that her rental car has manual roll-down windows.

How To Trick Your Keurig

  I love my Keurig 2.0 machine, but I do not drink coffee. One feature that I especially love, aside from the sleek design and pretty colored lights that it brings to the kitchen, is that my Keurig can give me hot water on demand to make my black or chai tea every morning. But, I HATED that I had to stand there and press the “dispense water” button the whole time; I have things to... Read More »

The 10 Things That BlogU Taught Me

BlogU Taught Me About Blogging and Powdered Alcohol

This past weekend was one that I had basically been counting down to since it was over last year, Blog U was finally here. This time was made even better by the fact that one of my real life besties was joining me this go round. Nicole and I headed up on Thursday and made it despite the dreary and seemingly never ending rain that fell from Durham all the way to Baltimore. We relaxed a little bit b... Read More »
