Dare To Live Your Dreams | The Story of Kandee Johnson
I just can’t get enough of Kandee Johnson. Her makeup artistry tutorials continue to help women around the world and in 2009, she reached Internet celebrity status. It wasn’t always easy for her, which is why I think so many people can relate to her story and love her.
She got married and had a ...
Get Inspired! | Interview with Designer John O’Nolan
One of the best parts of being a writer at Bit Rebels and the assistant to Richard Darell is that I get to be in the company of some very talented people.

Have you noticed that Twitter has been a little slow the last few days? There is something more than just the holiday that is making your Twitter stream move slowly.

Fun with Words | Verbally Insane or Creative?
As everyone knows, last night was a blue moon. I stared at the moon for a full five minutes and it wasn’t blue, I promise you, it wasn’t. I started to wonder if I was going crazy until I read on http://abcnews.go.com that a “blue moon” is an expression that simply means it is the second full moon ...
Is This How We’ll Order Pizza In The Future?
I order pizza delivery often, at least once a week. I don’t eat pizza, but my son, @toad_mario, loves it. I always order his cheese, black olive and mushroom pizzas online, I don’t call on the phone. However, since the way we do things is constantly changing and evolving, I’m sure that will chang ...
How To: Avoid Getting Ripped Off By Your Mechanic
I took one of my cars to the mechanic about three weeks ago. He told me it would be $2,000 to have it repaired. Since I am so busy this time of year, I decided to take it back for the repair the first week of January. Guess what? He thought I wasn’t coming back at all and he called me yesterday ...
Nut Personalities | Which Nut Are You?
I had a bowl of pistachio nuts tonight for dinner. As I sat there meticulously cracking open each shell, I began to ponder why I was spending so much time opening each one of those little suckers for just that tiny little nut. I know a lot of people that would never bother doing that. But I love ...

Just Announced: The Ferrari That Looks Like a Stormtrooper
When I first saw this car, three words came to mind: Oh my gosh. I love fast cars and I love Star Wars, so what could be better than a fast car that looks like a stormtrooper? Drive this car to become an instant bad ass. I was first introduced to it through a tweet sent to me by @pkruvczuk. Tha ...
How To: Look Like Megan Fox
As a professional woman, I have to put makeup on my face almost every day because I’m out in the field for a few hours visiting clients. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t wear any makeup at all, but since it’s a necessary evil, one of my goals for 2010 is to start making it fun instead of a chore eac ...
How To: Get Your Avatar Next to Your Blog Comments
Sometimes the universe nudges you to write about a specific topic, and that is what happened to me today. I had several people ask me how to get their avatar to show up next to the comments they write on this blog. Then, my dear friend @krystynchong sent me a direct message on Twitter specifically ...
The Twitter Controversy Over Thanking For RTs
I’ve always been genuinely appreciative of all my followers, especially when they give me the gift of a retweet. Up until a few days ago, if you follow me, you’ve seen me send out at least a dozen tweets every day thanking people for those RTs.
However, I’m at a crossroads now about whether or n ...
You’re Busted! | Presenting The Real You On Twitter
I am quite fascinated with Twitter avatars and how we present ourselves online. As you probably know, our personal brand, whether you buy Twitter likes or not, is wrapped up in our avatar and it truly becomes the way others perceive us.
Since many times we don’t to see each other in person, our a ...
Twitter Community Promotes Spontaneous Hugs
What’s up with all the hugs on Twitter? You don’t have to be on Twitter long until you start seeing hugs in tweets all over the place. I know I send out dozens of Twitter hugs every day. Why do we do that? What do we get out of it?
To me, hugs are powerful, even when given online. Sure, it m ...
Is Hello Kitty Going Away Forever?
Since I only have one child, a boy, I don’t know much about girl stuff. In 2009 though, I had the privilege of getting to know a 5 year old little girl and it has opened up a whole new world for me. It is nostalgic when I hear stories about her, and it reminds me of my own childhood.
