Coffee Talk - Revital U

My friend Shelley, who I went to college with, is a Brand Influencer for Revital U coffee. She messaged me a few weeks ago and asked me if I would be interested in some samples and letting her know what I thought. I said, sure. Who doesn't love free samples?

REBELLIA - Kick Ass Clothes For The Athletic Woman

I met Chrystal about 5 years ago via the ol' internet. Ya gotta love technology! I had seen Chrystal's motivational posts pop up in my newsfeed and started following her. Chrystal was one of the co-owners of The Indie Chicks, a print and online magazine that had a message of female self-empowerment. I looked forward to her daily motivational posts on her Instagram page. “We need magazines that empower women, not magazines that feed on the insecurities of women. Mainstream med

Dream BIG - You Could End Up On Jimmy Kimmel

About 4 years ago, I was invited by my friend Allison to see her friend Dusty at The Comedy Zone. If I recall correctly, it was a cold night and I almost said no, but she said “he’s pretty funny; let’s go support him” ...so off we went. We stopped in Southend to grab dinner before the show with Dusty. He was pretty quiet. I assumed he was nervous and preparing for what was about to happen. I know I HATE getting on stage in front of people. Like...HATE! Probably why I am not a

When Collabs Go Right

Sometimes you get an idea in your head and making that idea transfer to reality is not always successful. This was not the case on Saturday. I had been wanting to collaborate with photographer Eben Patten for some time now so we finally got a date in place, recruited local makeup artist Miriam Anthony and had my friend Dion fly his drone to capture the shoot. We lucked out and it was a beautiful NC sunny day. My goal was to showcase spots where local art was displayed. There
