Where you can find me on social media: Twitter - Facebook - Google + - Pinterest 

I live right outside of….Orlando, Florida.

I started blogging in:  2009.

An eclectic bunch of interests.  I can’t pigeon hole myself in to a specific niche.  I’m a little bit of Country and a little bit Rock N Roll.

I write when…..I can.  I’m one of those people who just sit down and bang something out.  If I spend too much time on something I end up deleting it over and over again.

How has blogging changed my life: I got to start my own social media management company and now I work for myself!

A brand I have loved working with: I love all the brands I work with for the most part, but my favorites are Ford, P&G, Frigidaire, Windows, and HP.

How I see the future of blogging/social media: It’s such a dynamic space.  If I were to give you my opinion today it will have changed already by the time you posted it.  I don’t think social media is going anywhere any time soon.  I just hope we, as a society, can keep up with it.

Where I work: In Charge Social Media (my own business).

I am connected….24/7 and occasionally I have to unplug.

When I’m stressed... I love to sleep and ignore all the problems, but that doesn’t work too well so I try to work through things the best I can.

My favorite gadget is….My new portable cellphone charger.  I finally found one that works and isn’t too cumbersome.

My favorite travel destination is….Now Key West.  We just went there recently and I had a hard time leaving.

My favorite clothing brand is…Karina Dresses and Torrid.  I do all my shopping….Online of course.  I do occasionally break down and go out in public.

My favorite TV shows: I seriously have eclectic taste in television!  The Voice, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, True Blood but I can spend hours watching nature shows and Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern.

My favorite movie: I don’t have one in particular, but I love a good chick flick or anything to do with government or apocalypse.

Coffee or tea: Coffee hot, tea cold.

I love….Discovering new places and spending time with my family (when we are all in a good mood).  LOL

I dream about….Getting debt free!

Where you can find my writing: I’ve scaled back my writing to just my blog and Karina Dresses for the summer since I will be traveling a lot.  In the past I wrote for Dr. Pepper/Snapple, Kraft, and TravelingMoms to name a few.

What else I do: In the summer we try to travel as much as possible!

My latest She Speaks post: Lancome Dreamtone Bare Selfie.

Causes I've worked with and made a difference via blogging about: I have been working with the WWEmoms for over a year bringing awareness to the WWE initiatives such as literacy and bullying, as well as breast cancer.
