Last month, I was able to get back to the great state of Texas to visit with family and friends where the awesome Rebekah Epstein (you know, the super chick that runs this blog and Glamptrepreneur) threw my Texas-themed baby shower.
When I arrived back in Florida, my stellar USMC family made my Pool Party Baby Shower dreams come true.
So without further ado, here are the details for your pinning pleasure…or whatever.

The ladies, student-athletes themselves, got the idea for the app in Feb. 2014 at the start of spring sports season when the school was announcing the concussion testing schedule. They realized there wasn’t an efficient way to test for concussions, so they decided to do something about

As a millennial, it can be annoying to be bombarded with updates from pregnant friends on social media. There’s a lot of eye-rolling to do at every picture with a bow around a belly, and at every craving,#blessed, and countdown status. I’m hoping to take a more honest approach today.
There’s really no point in telling you what to expect based on what I’ve experienced. The only thing I know to be true is that everyone’s pregnancy is totally unique. However, mine’s been pretty textbook, but at the very least you can commiserate with me on all the gross, joyful,

The thing I love about this blog is hearing other business owners’ “aha moments”. I think the most fascinating part of a business is the back story: Where did the inspiration come from? Why did the business get started? What were the hurdles along the way? I tell people all the time that you can’t force a business idea, but if you are open to it, you will

At the age of 18, I was a carefree freshman at the University in Vilnius, Lithuania, like millions of others – studying, partying and playing chess, my sport of choice. 2 years later, at the age of 20, I was married, with 3-months old baby and $500 bucks in a pocket, landing in the city of Cleveland, USA on a one-way ticket from Moscow, in search of more opportunities and better live.

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I was really sure that I wanted to be Oprah. I don’t think that I understood that there was no application that you could fill out to get that job, but that didn’t stop me from practicing. I spent a lot of time

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a kid, I wanted more than anything to work for the US Department of Defense or the CIA. I spent about ten years preparing for the application process, which was actually what pushed me to live and work abroad in a few

I have seriously been SO SO SO excited all week knowing this post was coming up!
In conjuncture with Glamtrepreneur, we are launching a new column on NeonNotebook called, “Getting Glam with…” (GGW). With “3 Things” and Career Confidential, we have all the other generations covered. So, I thought it would only make sense to do a Q&A that features pint-size entrepreneurs.
These ladies might be young, but that isn’t stopping them from starting their own businesses!!
On our first GGW, classmates Kourvoisia Townsend & Mackenzie Lowman talk about opening up their own retail
