How to make sharing your opinion easier - tips for speaking up / ew & pt
 I have an opinion on just about everything. I have a favorite flavor of M&M’S candies (and a mental ranking of my top five. crunchy and pretzel are tied for first!), I have a favorite nail polish, lipstick, pair of boots … I even have a favorite EYE (the right one).I have an opinion on how Harry Potter should’ve really ended, on whether or not tarot cards are legitimately useful, etc.
And so, I love taking surveys and voting for things. It’s basically sharing your opinion to people who totally want it. I’m also a huge proponent of trying new things and letting it be known how I feel about them. And, of course, considering I run a blog and have almost 100,000 tweets on Twitter, I clearly love sharing my thoughts and doing so comes quite easily to me.

But for some people, sharing one’s opinions and thoughts doesn’t come quite so easily. Here are some tips for sharing your opinion easily, openly, and in the best way possible.

Netflix & Hulu Go recommendations for 20somethings

10 TV series to stream - Hulu and Netflix recommendations - here's what to watch next (reality tv, true crime, comedies) // ew & pt

I abandon a lot of TV shows and I don’t watch TV super often except when I’m on the bus at night or when I carve out some time after work or on Sundays. And I hate wasting this time wondering what to watch! It’s taken me a while to dig through some crappy pilot episodes to find some quality series, at least in my opinion. That being said, when I actually watch a series in its entirety, it usually is a pretty good (or good-bad) show.

Since I can go on forever, I’m going to try to really narrow down my “what to watch” list. Here are some TV and docu-series recommendations I have for you based on what I’ve watched lately.  And as much as I love It’s Always Sunny and Parks & Rec, I’m also going to try to hopefully suggest shows you might not have heard about.

Here are some Hulu and Netflix recommendations for when you’re trying to figure out what to stream next!

Little ways you're wasting time every day & how to fix them - how to be more efficient // ew & pt

As I was inputting the 10th password guess in an attempt to log into my Twitter account I thought about something: How much time do I waste every day just guessing my damn password? What else am I wasting time on every day that I don’t even realize? Doesn’t all of this add up?

And so this blog post was born. It turns out there’s probably a lot of ways you and I are probably wasting time every single day without even realizing. But a few simple changes could save you a lot of time moving forward.

Here are some little ways you’re wasting time every day and how to fix them.

8 things standing in the way of you finding true love

8 things standing in the way of finding true love - reasons you're not finding love or falling in love

I’m not an expert on love by any means whatsoever. But perhaps my college professor who studied all of this sort of stuff kind of was. One of the few lessons I’ve retained from college (sorry!) is the one about the eight relationship roadblocks. I learned all about them, read about them, memorized them, wrote an essay about them, and I still reference them when giving my friends dating advice. And when giving myself dating advice. They’re more or less the things stopping you from falling in love. Or having a healthy relationship.

They’re pretty legit. So here’s the deal. I’m going to explain these roadblocks in layman’s super basic easy-to-understand- useful terms. And I hope it might help. Here’s what’s holding you back from finding love… or, at the very least, a healthy and happy relationship.
