“You need to try this cleanse.” If the above statement is the first thing your friend says when you meet up for drinks, you have a problem. Either you’ve somehow accidentally friended one of those crazy granola types who will soon have you using washable toilet paper. (Yes, that is a real thing. I know. […]
37 Women Walk into a Bar
37 women walk into a bar. 37 women who are as funny as the leading stand-up comedians and spend the entire night tossing jokes back and forth as quickly as they can toss down their wine. This is what my life is like now that I am “in” with the coolest lady writers. We have […]
How to Blog for the Huffington Post
So you want to blog for the Huffington Post? I completely understand. I too wanted to be a HuffPo blogger for a LONG time before finally getting noticed.
