Working at agencies, I’ve managed multimillion-dollar budgets for clients, so the thought of tackling our wedding budget didn’t make me flinch. I’ve become the Excel spreadsheet queen armed with tips and formulas to get through any financial puzzle. When MPR & I first got engaged, I read through the budgeting sections on wedding blogs and magazines,… Continue reading Wedding budget planning tips from a PR account manager

5 pieces of wearable tech that are actually cute
Wearable tech is one of those things that I want, but I’m not so sure if I need. It reminds me of when the iPod came out back when I was in high school. I remember saying, “Well, it would be nice to have all of my music on one device, but I don’t need… Continue reading 5 pieces of wearable tech that are actually cute
Work flow playlist: Autumn 2016
This past Thursday marked the beginning of Autumn, and that means it’s time to buckle down, put your hair in a messy bun, and pound out work until we break for Thanksgiving.

Back to school: Continuing education post-college
If you’re like me, you get a little nostalgic this time of year seeing all of the “Back to School” ads and photos of college students moving into their dorms for the fall semester. College was a blast – not only because I made some of my best friends and best memories there, but because… Continue reading Back to school: Continuing education post-college
My new favorite work flats
Black flats are a staple in every working girl’s wardrobe. I, for one, have gone through many pairs over the years. I usually wear them until they’re destroyed with worn soles and scratched leather. Some of my past flats had no arch support, some gave me blisters, and some were eaten by Rufio. But I… Continue reading My new favorite work flats
Back to school: 7 essential office supplies for PR girls
Shopping for school supplies at the end of each summer always gave me a rush. Bright spiral notebooks with crisp, untouched pages, a shiny pack of pens with fresh black ink, and, of course, a new planner for the school year that I would fill with song lyrics and notes to friends.
PR Girl Travels: Seattle/Tacoma
My recent trip to Seattle/Tacoma for an event for my client was a complete whirlwind.
