Taylor Swift Gets Sweet Revenge on SNL

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:08:13 +0000

I’m not the biggest fan of Taylor Swift’s music, but I am big fan of her attitude towards haters, so I thought I’d post her SNL monologue from this week. Taylor seems like a sweet kid, and it can’t be easy to live your awkward stage out in the public eye, so I say good for [...]

Get Great Skin with Arcona

I don’t know about you, but when I hit my late twenties I started to have constant skin break outs (no doubt a cruel adolescent joke the universe was playing on me). “Adult acne,” the dermatologist so bluntly called it. Gee, I get to have zits and gray hair, how special. Uneven skin tone, dry patches, pimples, [...]

This week on The Huffington Post, self-proclaimed “personal strength” expert Marcus Buckingham shares with us pearls of wisdom from a select group of women living their best life, as Oprah would say.

He Said What??

Imagine going on a blind date only to have the whole thing blow up in your face in a matter of minutes? Most of us have limited expectations for these things anyway, but I think this recent story sets a new record for the torpedoed mission. For those of us who have ventured into the [...]

“I Attended the 140tc and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt”

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:27:02 +0000

This week I had the good fortune of attending the first Twitter conference in Los Angeles, aka, the 140tc. (You can find a stream of the conference’s live tweets by searching #140tc on Twitter.com). As a big fan of social media, but not quite a tech nerd, I was very curious to see what a [...]

I am thrilled to announce that the kick-off to National Singles Week begins here on That Happened to Me. Our guest blogger is Kimberly Neumann, actress and author of The Real Reasons Men Commit.

I just got back from a great trip to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I had never been to that region before and was traveling on assignment for HipCompass.com. While I missed my blog - and my readers - I had an amazing time and met some great people - most importantly - more fabulous single women. We vowed [...]
