Confessions of a Starbucks Barista

Confessions of a Starbucks Barista

Who doesn’t love Starbucks? The coffee, the croissants, the sandwiches, the smell, the atmosphere, the “Cheers” experience you get when you walk in to your local one and Everybody Knows Your Name. But, have you ever thought about what it’s really like? What do the Barista’s see and hear that we don’t? What kind of crazy shit do they have to deal with from behind... Read More »

Why I LOVE the T25 Workout System

Why I LOVE the T25 Workout System

  So why do I love the workout system T25? Well, because it works! Nobody had to pay, bribe, or ask me to say that – it’s just the truth! If you don’t know what T25 is, it’s a collection of about 15 DVD workouts that come with a schedule to follow. Each workout is 25 minutes long (hence the 25!) and it was created by the Insanity guy, Shaun T. There are two phases that... Read More »

Sperm, Meet Egg!

Sperm, Meet Egg!

  It happens all the time and it pisses me off! People who don’t want to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) get pregnant, do, and those who want to get pregnant, can’t! Why! Why? WHY!? You see people who are unfit to be parents, juggling six kids they can’t afford, and it’s sickening. But yet an educated, mature, couple who are capable and ready to have a baby, can’t. Then there’s this scenario, th... Read More »

Dear Taco Bell

Dear Taco Bell

Dear Taco Bell, Your incessant commercials on my Pandora every morning finally peaked this prego’s interest enough for me to give you a chance. It’s a mistake I will never make again. I feel like I’ve been catfished. Your chicken biscuit taco was more like a chicken flavored hashbrown wrapped in cardboard. You’ve ruined my day and now I don’t know that I can ever trus...

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 »

Perfect Start to the Day and Breakfast of Champions

Perfect Start to the Day and Breakfast of Champions

For the past two plus years, I’ve started my day by pleasantly waking up to Daft Punk’s Lose Yourself to Dance which quite possibly could be the best wake-up call ever. No more jolting awake to some terrible repetitive beeping sound. This tune starts slowly and quietly, and builds up into an awesome catchy beat. Definitely check it out. https://youtu.be/NF-kLy44Hls Then I typically scr... Read More »

From Office to Playroom

From Office to Playroom

One year ago, my husband and I had a beautiful office located on the second floor of our house. We had our diplomas, pictures of family and friends, our computer and all the other necessities that make a wonderful workspace. Fast forward to now, and we no longer have that beautiful room. What happened? We had a child who not only brought tons of joy into our lives but also hundreds of toys and bab... Read More »

Not Just Shoes | WIRL Project

They Aren’t JUST Shoes

A pair of shoes can change the world. Some in different ways. Running shoes can win gold. Sandals can transport memories from a favorite destination. Boots can bring out the sass in anyone. Heels can help kick someone’s ass when the guy at the bar just wont leave you alone. But maybe there is a deeper meaning for what shoes we decide to wear. When I wear heels I feel beautiful. Matched with ... Read More »
