Easiest Way to Battle Junk Mail

We’ve all done it — sign up for newsletter after newsletter because we were promised a coupon code or some kind of discount. We got the discount, got the product or service and never canceled our subscription. No matter how many times you delete that newsletter without even looking — you are just too lazy to unsubscribe. I get it — I’ve done it on the regular!
But now I found an amazing app that will unsubscribe for you! All you have to do is go to Unroll.me* and it will go through your email account and locate each and every newsletter you’re signed up to receive. Some you won’t even remember! I figured i might have 50 or 60. I had close to 300! EEEK!
Unroll.me lets you do two things. 1. You can “roll up” your subscriptions so they arrive in a single email instead of separate ones. 2. You can unsubscribe all together with one click. I opted to unsubscribe from 159 newsletters. Wow! Think of all the time I’ll save. Read more
It’s Tax Time! Are You Ready?

It’s one of my least favorite subjects but I’m forcing myself to talk about it because it’s important. It’s tax season and the deadline is creeping up. I know that this is a stressful time for people, and a lot of people worry that they might be accused of having unfiled tax returns or owing back taxes.
Just do it — and get it over with! Then we can make lists of things to do with your refund!!
Here are a few ways to get your taxes in order this year:
Evernote: You know how I love it. I use it every year to organize all the expenses that I want to keep track of and everything is easy to find when it’s time. Then you can scan or email your finished return right into Evernote to keep track of for years to come. It’s really the easiest method. Read more
I’m Going To B-School!
I never thought I’d be going back to school — but I am! Today is the very first day of Marie Forleo’s B-School and I couldn’t be happier to get started. I found Marie a few weeks ago through Twitter and have been devouring her content ever since. She teaches people how to be entrepreneurs and turn their passions into much more.
It’s an 8-week online course and there are people from almost every inch of the globe participating. Just check out the map of participants — insane, right? I’ve done a few continuing education classes here and there since graduating college. I’ve taken a novel writing class, a children’s book writing class and of course a bunch of cooking classes — but never anything like this.
Getting ready for class has been exciting and scary. Here’s a list of my preps in case you find yourself in a similar situation one day:
1. Get a notebook you love. Seriously — this helps calm my fears. I chose a notebook that a close friend gave me for my birthday — so it has some sentimental value. It’s the perfect size to stick in my purse if I need to take my work on the road. And the best part is the cover. It’s plastered with stamps from fabulous places all over the world that I want to visit. It’s an excellent inspiration for the traveling I’d like to do in the future.
