If you have visited our blog prior to this post, you may notice some changes! Rebecca and I were fed up with Blogger's unpredictable formatting and lagging RSS feed updates, so we made the not-so-difficult decision to graduate to WordPress. So, apologies for the short pause in posting, but we didn’t want to publish any … Continue reading “What the Tweet?!” + Twitter (Part I)
I love blogs. They have replaced my pre-teen and teenage love of magazines. I used to spend hours pouring over the newest issue of Girls Life and then later Seventeen. I lived for the quizzes, the embarrassing moment recaps, the advice columns, and stories about girls in other parts of the country and the world … Continue reading I Love Blogs + Feedly
Have you ever had one of your favorite television shows cruelly ripped out from under you? You invest every Tuesday or Thursday night in a gripping drama, and then right after a major plot twist, or as the show is on the verge of revealing the “killer” or the “baby’s father” it … Continue reading Blogs, Blogs, and More Blogs + R.I.P.

Aaaaaaand we’re back! Who knew that graduate school (me) and working for a start-up (Rebecca) would be so time consuming and pull us away from our beloved blog for so long. I can only speak for myself, but reentering the academic world after an 8-year hiatus threw more challenges and curveballs my way … Continue reading #SB2K13 (spring break 2013) + Airbnb

Because of this, my email inbox tends to overflow each day. Yes, I could unsubscribe to some stuff but I’m a … Continue reading Crazy Inbox Overload + Unroll.me
So as you’ve probably noticed by now, I’m a huge nerd. Besides having an unhealthy obsession with technology, in particular I REALLY love cell phones. Before smart-phones became all the craze I used to switch non-smartphones (also known as "dumbphones") almost every other month. A dumbphone is basically a flip phone...a Razr...any phone you probably … Continue reading Procrastination + iPhone 5 Unboxing
What a summer! As Emilia, mentioned, we both made some big changes. After five years at Google (and the last three months spent in the London office), I decided to try something new and join the start-up world. I loved every minute of my time at Google and I’m so grateful for all the … Continue reading My Sister Moves to Austin + Instagram
So I’ve made some rather big life changes lately, which partially explains the lengthy delay between blog posts. My apologies! Rebecca and I have both had a lot of interesting things to write about but just not a whole lot of time. But rest assured, we’re back! If you happened to have read … Continue reading Sending & Receiving Money + Chase QuickPay
I was incredibly lucky to be able to travel to several European cities this spring while working in London and while all were charming in their own way, Rome remains my absolute favorite. I’ll go ahead and say that The Eternal City is my second favorite city in the world after New Orleans. I … Continue reading Rome + Evernote Food
Text messaging has changed the way we communicate, but if you’re the one paying the cell phone bill you may have noticed that all those SMS messages come at a price (SMS = “short message service” = text message). In fact, text messaging has repeatedly been shown to be the single most overpriced consumer product … Continue reading Staying Connected + WhatsApp Messenger
