Millennials love their wine more than any other generation. They account for nearly half of all the wine consumed in the United States each year. That figure does not surprise me at all. I developed a liking for wine after studying abroad in Italy and now make wine a regular part of my life. I love drinking wine with friends, attending wine tastings, and trying new wines. That is why when I was approached by … [Read more...] about Traveling Vineyard Review: Interview with Wine Guide, Laura Iosbaker

I was reading the comments in Millennial Money Man's post, From Teacher to $12,000 A Month, and saw a comment from someone who was considering becoming a teacher. The "I think I want to become a teacher" moment is something I've experienced as well. I think it's relatively common.

Daily self affirmations have totally become a thing.  My Pinterest and Instagram accounts are blowing up with these positive messages. I like to think that they work but I can't really be sure. A new Carnegie Mellon study seems to say they do (with a small caveat). "There is evidence that self-affirmation can protect against the damaging effects of stress on problem-solving performance." - Psychology … [Read more...] about 110 Daily Affirmations For Your Inner Girl Boss

I recently was featured on an episode of the Mad Fientist podcast, along with Gwen from Fiery Millennials. We talked about everything from rocking your career to saving massive amounts of money to side hustles. One regret I have from the interview is that I neglected to give credit to the mentors who helped me in my career.
