    Start the year right with a month of fun and festivities!

    January-2015-Calendar
    Happy New Year! I can hardly believe 2015 is already here. It feels like each year goes by faster than the last. One of my resolutions for 2015 is to make the most out of every month. I’ve always considered January – March the worst part of the year, putting it down as the quarter with the worst weather and the fewest things to do. This year I’ve decided it’s time to change my attitude and embrace the winter months for all they have to offer. To see what I’m looking forward to this January, check out this month’s calendar!

    National Cupcake Day + Sprinkles GIVEAWAY!

    Our leading ladies share their favorite cupcakes, plus a chance to win a $20 Sprinkles giftcard!

    national cupcake day

    My sisters and I baked cupcakes regularly together growing up (never mind that they were generally of the boxed variety). My affinity for cupcakes meant endless gifts of cupcake-icon gifts: a belt, a tank top, luggage tag, rain boots, and not one but two cupcake deliveries for my birthday last year. Needless to say, when Sprinkles opened its doors I jumped on that cupcake bakery bandwagon real quick. It was one of the first stops on my list to visit when I moved to Los Angeles, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Sprinkles put cupcakes on the map, and many have followed to continue the movement of one of the best baked inventions.

    To celebrate National Cupcake Day, read on to find out where our leading ladies across the country turn to curb their cupcake appetite… plus don’t miss your chance to win one of three $20 giftcards to Sprinkles!

    Jen Hack’s Life Hacks | Easy Ways to Find Volunteer Opportunities

    Want to give-back during this giving season? These 3 websites make it easier than ever to lend a helping hand

    Volunteer
    This time of year I find myself looking for ways that I can volunteer some of my extra time. I’m sure many of you find yourself in a similar boat. It’s like all of the gift-receiving that’s done during the holidays needs to be balanced out by doing a little gift-giving.

    Since college, I haven’t fully committed to volunteering with a single organization. These days, I find myself giving bits of my time whenever the right opportunity presents itself.  Finding those opportunities however, seems to be the most challenging bit.

    This year, I’ve found three websites which seem to offer a solution. These sites make it easier than ever to search, find, and get started with opportunities in your area.  If you’re in the gift-giving spirit you’ll definitely want to check these out!
