I love how the term "expert" is being thrown around these days. There are indeed a few experts who know their way around social media and Twitter, but it isn't very hard to navigate your brand around Twitter if you use your noggin and watch how others integrate the tool. ...

Yesterday morning when I checked my email, I was inundated with news about rapper/producer Kanye West joining Twitter and performing an impromptu "concert" for Facebook staffers. I really didn't think this was news per-se; celebrities have been on Twitter since its beginning and Facebook has seen it's share of stars ...

Before you do a complete eye roll and close out my page, I do have a confession to make---I watch ABC's All My Children. Sue me. I wasn't a fan of soap operas, but seemed to have fallen under the spell of Erica Kane and the other residents of Pine ...

As I previously blogged before (and endlessly Tweeted this weekend), I was at an all Ladies Tweet-up at the YMCA of the Ozarks Trout Lodge location. Trout Lodge is located about an hour and a half away from St. Louis in Potosi, Missouri. I didn't really know what to expect ...

During the past two days, I have been a part of the Build a Bear Workshop Brand Building Event here in St. Louis. I was very excited to have been a participant in the meeting. I met some really cool moms from the Midwest area who all have blogs and ...

I decided to break out the trusty old webcam and do a quick video log since I haven't personally recorded one in a few months. The topic? The Blogging While Brown Conference next week in D.C. and my job search, which so far as netted zero employment opportunities. I am ...

I was out and about running errands yesterday and as I waited in line, I noticed the woman in front of me had on some fabulous heels. I ooh'd and ahh'd in my mind before tapping her on the shoulder and relaying to her that I liked her heels. Her ...
