Labor Day Thoughts
When I was first hired by , every day was a dream. I was so happy to have a job, to be working, I was willing to do anything around the office. I imagined my life would be a lot like Anne Hathaway’s in The Devil Wears Prada, picking up Harry Potter books and coffee … Read More
Finding Boat Safety
With the arrival of the much anticipated film, Finding Dory, it takes me back to 2003 when I was but 10 years old and singing, “Just keep swimming,” over and over after watching Finding Nemo. My parents now refuse to watch any of the “Finding Franchise” after being forced to watch it so many times … Read More
Feeling the Burn this Valentine’s Day?
Marvin Gaye is healing, Taylor Swift is crying, Kenny G is seducing, and all in the name of love. Yes, it is nearly that time of the year when roses sell for more than premium gas, when old, under-tempered chocolate is consumed by the ton, and when every person is miserable, single or not. It … Read More
Keep the Bowl Super
Full disclosure: the only football game I will watch is the Army Navy Game and that comes from years of mandatory viewings thanks to my dad, (sink Navy!). After 4 years of college, I can count on one hand how many football games I attended and I definitely never sat through all 4 quarters. But, … Read More

The crazy notion of the American dream, getting rich quick, has drawn together a country in disbelief and anticipation, and every Wednesday and Saturday we wait with bated breath wondering just how big the pot can get. However, … Read More
Drones, Hover Boards, Lawsuits, OH MY!

As a perpetual procrastinator, gift buying and completing errands in general happen much later than they should and holiday express shipping kills me. But, the drones never took off, much to the chagrin of … Read More
Don’t Drop the Ball this New Years
The year is winding down. Between Buzzfeed “Best Moments of 2015” articles, to Jib Jab’s “Year in Review” we have a lot to look back on and even more to look forward to. In 2016 a presidential election of massive proportions will take place, kale may no longer be a super food, and media might … Read More
Holiday Party Hard (and Safe)
It’s December which means party, after party, after party! There is just a wonderful feeling that befalls everyone when the holiday music starts playing, cookies start popping up everywhere, and the “Season of Giving” begins. Between work festivities, friend get togethers, and family fun December is a month of celebrations and merry making! But, too … Read More
Ignorance Ain’t Bliss on the Road
When I was a freshman in college I was not allowed a car on campus. So one cold night in December, during finals, a whole bunch of us wanted McDonalds, which was about 3 miles off campus down Richmond Road, the main road in Williamsburg. As none of us had cars, I volunteered to bike … Read More
