One of the best artists that stands out in my mind from 2013 is the English soul singer-songwriter Laura Mvula. I first found myself wagging my head to her music on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and fell in love when I saw one of her music videos. She grew up writing music and singing in … Continue reading
2013 had some personal ups and downs for many of us, but there was one bull that didn’t take any…well, you know the phrase. I’m talking about our little friend the stock market. 2013 ended with a new stock market record high, posting the largest percentage gain in 16 years (AKA back in the 90’s … Continue reading
What I handed him looked like it had been places. And it had. The 3×2 business card was glossed over with a raw shade of plum lipstick and defied the law of gravity by hanging on to the edge of his middle finger, thanks to the clump of gum that was clinging on to the … Continue reading
Tis the season for engagements galore on Facebook. For the entire month of December and even some of January I am constantly bombarded by that little news feed update on Facebook over and over again. So and so is engaged to so and so. Look at my new ring. I said yes! He asked and … Continue reading
Now that the first month of 2014 is coming to a close, I’d like to take a look back at 2013 and set up some realistic (and some not-so-realistic) goals for 2014. In 2013, I managed to cross a few key activities off my bucket list, conquer a few fears, and learn a little bit … Continue reading

They’re a delight to watch live because they’re one of those bands that gets totally lost in their own performance, usually featuring trippy projections and signature dancemoves. The bass lines are heavy and singer Joaquin … Continue reading
As a single female in my mid-twenties, living in New York City, the dating scene is a little unique. First dates are actually pretty easy to come by. In fact, sometimes, dating feels like a part-time job in itself. But why is getting the second date so impossible? It’s not because I haven’t been asked, … Continue reading

Shauna takes us through some of the harder topics that not all entrepreneurs like to talk about, today on QLC. What topics? For starters, being the face of a brand, finding balance … Continue reading
“If you write it down and put it into the universe, it can happen,” says Shauna Miller, founder of the lifestyle/fashion blog, PennyChic.com. Just three years ago, Shauna launched her blog hoping she could show people that affordable fashion can be “chic,” and there’s no reason anyone should feel like they need to spend top … Continue reading
For some reason, I always find myself traveling a ton in January. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great problem to have – jet setter! (…I wish). But it does involve a lot of time spent in airports, on planes, in transit, cabs, etc. AKA, the perfect time for a good playlist, an iPod, and … Continue reading
