Being Healthy: How to be prepared for health and stay that way
To your health! If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything. Take your medicine! Don’t forget your vitamins! Go natural/organic! We hear and see so much regarding our health. Understandably so as health is important as we need to have healthy bodies to keep up with our lives. You go try running a marathon with the flu. (Disclaimer: I am not speaking from experience. I hate running. If I’m running, you should be running with me as it means something is chasing me or I’m super late.) I’m not going to give any tips or tricks on how you should live your life in a health sense.…

Technology Lifesaver
Hey everyone, hope that you’re having a great start to your week already. I also hope that you have enjoyed the Preparedness series I’ve been working on lately. Life has been kinda interesting lately and therefore I’ve been pretty reflective on different aspects of daily life. In this edition, we’re gonna talk about being prepared for technology issues. What would you do if your computer died? I’m talking about sitting down, hitting the power button to turn it on and nothing. Nadda. Zip. Zilch. That would be incredibly frustrating and scary right? What about your phone, tablet or your camera? What if that happened as well?…

Happy Fall Y’all!
It’s the first day of Fall! How exciting is that?! It’s gonna be a great season, I can just feel it! I’m so so so so so so so excited (can you tell?) Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season. It’s just so awesome! These are just some of my favorite things to enjoy about the season: The crispness of the air, the changing of bright colored flowers and trees to darker passionate red, shining gold and burnt orange leaves, the smell of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, doing some fall cleaning (or painting a room in the house), cooking and baking, Halloween and Thanksgiving, holiday decorating, cuddling up with my…

How Well are You Prepared?
You’ve heard it a lot: “Be Prepared!” “Rather safe than sorry!” “Always think ahead!” It probably goes in one ear and out the other by now. It’s so overused in day-to-day life. However, as annoying as it may seem, it holds a great truth. Think of the fable where the ants are hoarding grain for the winter months while the grasshopper dismisses this need to be prepared. Boy was he surprised when the winter cold came. If you’ve never heard of this fable, read here: (http://www.bartleby.com/17/1/36.html) Even well managed organizations and military establishments constantly stress this. The Marines have a motto of “Adapt, Improvise and Overcome.” The Coast Guard…

Happy September!!!
Happy September! Crazy how we’ve already gotten to September right?! Feels like the summer just started not too long ago and here we are with fall leaves going to be turning colors soon. I must say, I am so over this summer. It was insanely HOT this summer and even for Charleston, this summer was miserable and I’ve lived here my entire life. July alone had 22/31 days that were 95 above and heat indexes up to 117. Even this past weekend, we had Hurricane Hermine stop by and show us a visit here in Charleston. Nothing major, just some rain and gusty winds. NOTHING like last October with “The…

So that happened… (how to remember that you ARE successful when it sure doesn’t feel that way)
Ever had something just go horribly wrong and all you could think of was : “So… that just happened”? Yup, check. Feel like you’re stuck in a rut and not making any progress besides maybe deeper? Raise your hand if you’re the Real Slim Shady. Feel like Life has taken you down Shit Creek with only 1 paddle? Glad I’m not the only one. Why does it seem like attaining success is the greatest test and the journey is nothing more than an obstacle course? Throw in some crazy society standards, a dash of self esteem issues, a crazy work schedule, maybe a few kids, perhaps a boyfriend or…

How to Rock Back to School while Saving Money and Sanity
I’m sure you’re seeing it everywhere: Back to School Sale! Buy 2 glue sticks, get 1 free. 6 for $1 paper folders. Buy this 10 pack of highlighters, get these scissors free. Crayola crayons for 50 cents and markers for $1. Oh boy, oh boy. I am a SUCKER for school supplies. I’m 10 years since High school and 5 years since College and I still ooh and ah over the stuff. Talk about a walk down memory lane where I remember ONLY using this type of pen almost all 4 years of high school or the same cover binder that’s still available now (really?) or cooing over how cute…
