30 by Thirty

Many of you don't know that I'm "only" 22 years old. People hear that and they look at me, bewildered and amazed, wondering how I have a master's degree, wondering how I've been so many places in the world.

Review: ShePlans Planner

It's the first week of August, which means I've officially been working inside my ShePlans Planner for a full month now. It's also less than a week away from the 2017 pre-order launch for ShePlans! (I'm using the 2016-2017 Mid-Year Edition). I figured this was the best time I could find to talk about my planner, walk you through how I'm using it, and give you some additional thoughts!

The same can be said when considering what brands to work for or with. Enter Pivot.

The Perfect Lunchbox for Entrepreneurs

Prepd Pack raises over $1,000,000 on Kickstarter with innovative Lunchbox and app

Prepd Pack reimagines the 'take your lunch to work' experience with a modular bamboo lunchbox and smart recipe app

I don't know about you, but whenever I'm out and about at client offsites, scouting out new printing paper at a press partner, or attending meetings in the city, I always dread lunchtime. I hate spending $15+ on lunch when I know my lunch at home would cost me under $5.
