While I love blogging, tweeting and all things social media; I've adapted to the one I love the most: INSTAGRAM !!!! it's the NUMBER ONE place to find inspiration, post your daily photos, meet great friends and also earn some extra CASH on the side. Now don't get me wrong, you may never become a millionaire but you sure as hell can get a little spending cash your hubby doesn't need to know about......! My love for taking photos has led me to some amazing fellow igers who've really become some of my closest friends. I get non stop messages asking if i want to partner, buy or sell. And to be TOTALLY honest......I never even thought of doing any of those whenever I post a pic until now!  Like really?! People make money off this?!  yes 1.)   Build your following. You can easily grow your insta followers by using hashtags and using them wisely. Having a niche and hashtags go hand in hand. Both of them together will get you instafollowers!  2.) Take...

I'm super obsessed with perfecting my at home coffee making because all in all; I am a coffeeholic! A couple of years ago while I was working at a Dunkin Donuts, I was introduced to the famous "Turbo" shots. It's a shot of espresso in your regular coffee (for those who know nothing about coffee!) Hesitantly, I allowed a gal working with me to put one in my iced coffee! Holy Sinfullll. It was amazing. I was now hooked on what she called, "Crack in a Cup!" I'm an all around drinker, so for me trying new kinds of coffee is kinda my thing. While I will say that black coffee is my least favorite, I realize a lot of people LOVE black coffee. If you're trying to behave on calories then my suggestion would be to add a teaspoon or two of sugar and leave it sitting on the bottom of the cup instead of stirring it: it's not bad! if you follow CoffeeAddictMama on Insta, then you may have already watched her video on how to make the best coffee! i...

As a blogger, you will get brain farts and not really know what to post sometimes. It happens. Let's give some topics so you can whiff that fart goodbye! 1.) Share more of your photography and offer tips to those who don't know how to take photographs. I'm personally a really picky picture taker, so I tend to throw out a few of my shots and when I'm bored, I grab the camera and take some photos of anything around me. The thing that sucks about me, is that I don't really know how to teach someone how to take pics, so share that for me please!!!! 2.) What I Wore. Hellooooooo!! Fashion is the way to go when you have no clue what to post about. If you don't normally get dressed to post, then this is a really fun activity for you and for everyone reading. Gather your outfit and go on a photo shoot. Grab a friend to take your pics for you and pose. Pose away, have fun and then share it!!! 3.) Food. It's the obvious when there is nothing else on your min...

the moment you walk away from everything and life feels collided. my journey back to new york wasn't an easy one. i'd spent many days in tears wondering where i had been, where i was headed. why i was there and if i'd stay there forever. after a couple of months sobbing in sorrow, i'd realized that that wasn't who i was or who i'd wanna be. the saying you have to get knocked down to get back up again is in it's truths. when you crumble, you certainly feel faded. i got up. eventually. it took time. who the hell in their right mind considers time? because i sure didn't. and little did i know that it'd pass before my weary eyes. the only thing i've ever really lived for was proof. proving to myself that i could do anything and be something of worth. even if i didn't want it. i always felt the need to prove things to everyone and why is well, because if we don't as humans, then we feel no purpose. i took my slagging ass and built up e...

it's so nice to take a break from everything; work | blogging | networking, to just breathe the fresh air and rest easy. Recently I've become very tense. I'm typically always stiff but as of late, it's become way too intense. I suffer from migraines and body aches daily. It's awful. A full time standing job doesn't help. When your body has had enough, it will surely let you know!  I'm discovering a new way to cope with healing through natural remedies. Having migraines for 16 years is long enough to have tried everything. I've done so much to try to deal as best as possible and it's become a habit of mine to try new things. If you're anything like me; always on the go, working all the time and never sleeping, then let's accomplish relaxation together! Please. We need to be healthy.  Things I've done that have helped me this past week: 1.) Breathe. Recently reading about how to relieve tension, I've learned that I don...

i know we have our blogging tips and i'm sure you've read enough on the internet from other bloggers, etc about how to blog but really something you're not hearing is this: A SUCCESSFUL BLOG TAKES TIME i don't mean that it'll take a year or whatever to be successful, although it does take some time to develop a well known blog but what i want to discuss is how time consuming a blog can really be! full time bloggers get paid to write, dress up, promote, etc. does that mean they're successful, sure. they take time to pull together a great post, advertise it online and pretty much sell their blog! not everyone has the time in a day to do that though. Many of you have jobs and go to school. Is it quite possible to have a successful blog + a life outside of blogging?  So How Do You Become a Success in a Blog? Step 1. Relax. A really positive vibe and attitude will put you in the mood for blogging. Do not think too much about the process because then...
