Wedding planning is not an easy feat for any human being out there, but I will say that being in the public relations field has its advantages when it comes to being able to pull off a successful celebration. If it weren’t for lessons learned in my communications training and event planning experience, I might […]
What’s in a name? A lot, actually. Contrary to Juliet’s long-winded and desperate rant about Romeo’s separation from being a Montague — it’s okay, we’ve all been dramatic teenagers — there is actually quite a significant tie between a name and one’s identity. While of course not everyone likes their birth name and goes […]
I remember stopping in a camera store a few years ago, picking up a camera and thinking to myself: “This thing has a lot of knobs and buttons…and most of them aren’t labeled.” This happened shortly after I decided I wanted to step up my photography game from an iPhone to something a little more […]
