I have actually been watching the Gorilla Glue Girl's @im_d_ollady situation since it hit the webs and as someone in the beauty space, although I had a lot to say, I was actually a bit traumatized. I go inwards when I experience my people on the stage being ridiculed. Let's call it "second hand embarrassment". I initially felt this was a mistake fueled by a branding confusion. As some of you know, there's Gorilla Snot Gel Indestructible Punk Gorilla, and there's Got 2B Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray. It is possible that she extrapolated this to mean that Gorilla Glue Spray...

As a small business owner, I always appreciate the unique and refreshing gifts and experiences my colleagues pull together for special days.

Yesterday I went for my yearly physical. I have always been vigilant about doing my routine appointments but since becoming a parent, that discipline has intensified.  I intentionally show up for myself just as much as I show up for her and others. I can't raise her if I am not here or not well. To my surprise, the family practice where I went ran my blood work AND posted the results the same day!
