    In just a couple weeks I will head to Indio with thousands of the wristband-clad from all walks of life for my very first Coachella experience. I’m lucky I’ll have uber veteran Colleen by my side to show me the ropes, but if this is your first time as well don’t fret… The Single Diaries has your back. I chatted with my girlfriends who’ve frolicked Coachella Valley more than a few times and gathered top tips (including ways to save money) and an essentials packing list to help you plan your weekend more efficiently. If you’re camping, we have a special must-read section just for you. With our Coachella prep guide, there won’t be nobody dope as you… You’ll be just as fresh as the veterans dancing without a care in the Sahara Tent.

    tax tips

    Tax season is officially upon us and, while it may not be the most joyous event of the year, it is one that can’t be avoided. If you’re like me, you attempt to ignore it all together by deferring your tax work to someone else. In my case, I defer to my dad. Others I know rely on a family accountant. While it’s great to get the help, let’s face it, as Single Girls we should have basic knowledge of what it takes to get our taxes done. It’s one of those life lessons like learning to change a tire or clean out a clogged drain that we really ought to know.

    We have over one month left before the final filing date descends upon us. So, if you haven’t yet gotten started, don’t fear. There is still plenty of time to learn the process. In fact, we’re here to help you do just that. Read on for 10 tax tips that will help you take ownership of your taxes and hopefully help you get a better refund in the process!
