Thoughts on life, personal essays, reviews, art, media, and travel. If you’d like to see what else gives me life besides cannabis, this is the place.
I don’t mean to brag but I’m kind of an expert road trip co-pilot. My husband and I make almost all of the trips we take together via car. Actually, of all the trips we’ve taken together, only one was not by car. He’s a bit fearful of flying, and I don’t really blame him. Road trips are long and boring and hard on your body. But they’re also fun and exciting and it’s a
One struggle all businesses have, in the cannabis space or not, is trying to figure out how to visually translate their brand into an Instagram friendly format. As a cannabis or cannadjacent business, you have additional struggles with censorship, making it even more important for you to think outside the box when it comes to using Instagram to connect with potential customers and lovers of your product. In this article, I’m going to cover some
I have a secret. I do not fret when it comes time to publish new blog posts. I can post two a week every week for at least the next 3 weeks. How can I be so confident, you’re probably wondering while maybe also hoping that I fail a little bit (it’s ok, I get it)? I do a little thing called content batching. WTF is content batching? Well, content batching is pretty much what
I love a good independent brand. So earlier this year when I stumbled upon Stigma Activewear, I literally couldn’t wait to lose enough weight to justify buying new workout gear. It’s hard to run when your leggings are exposing your very sweaty undies to the rest of the fitness center. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors. Since then, I’ve been pretty dedicated to their brand (they even made me a brand ambassador). So
After losing over 40 pounds over the last year and change, I was in desperate need of an entirely new wardrobe. My closet was a shell of its former self as I had to give most of my clothes away. No point in keeping things that I don’t plan on wearing again. And if I do plan on wearing them again, I hope that it’s far enough in the future that it would all look
After getting my Instagram account disabled recently (that is a story for another day), I have been even more focused on building my email list. There are a lot of great reasons to have a mailing list, but the most important one, quite frankly the only one that matters: you own that list. If every single one of your social networking sites went down tomorrow, could you still keep in touch with your followers? I
The end of May and the entire month of June were pretty rough for me. I unknowingly sprained my ankle by stepping off a sidewalk curb the wrong way and then further worsened the injury when my cousin challenged me to do the Manitou Springs Incline with her. My sprain caused me no pain. It just felt like it needed to crack or something. That’s why I didn’t think much about doing 2000 vertical feet
The biggest trap any entrepreneur falls into is thinking they and their business can please and serve everyone. You can’t. And you shouldn’t want to. Pleasing everyone is boring. Especially when it comes to social media and creating digital content like blog posts, YouTube videos, and digital downloads. It is one of the hardest things to mentally overcome, because for many entrepreneurs their business is them and their life, and we all want to be
Is your business on EVERY SINGLE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE? Is it not on any? Stop what you’re doing. Today I’m going to tell you how to choose the RIGHT social media channels for your business. If you’re on none, that’s great! You’re starting with a clean slate and I bet you’re brimming with new ideas. The middle section of this blog post won’t pertain to you, but you should still read it, so you have
Believe it or not, you can make a difference in your community. Even as a regular, non-activist citizen, there are things you can do. Both online and off, you can make an impact and make your city or town a better place to be for everyone. Here are 5 things that I’m doing to actively make my community a better place. Support local businesses If you live in a rather developed suburban or urban area,
