So You Want To Leave A Podcast Review on iTunes
If you listen to Champagne & Snark, you'll have heard my commercial asking to rate and review the podcast on iTunes. It tells iTunes that Champagne & Snark is worth listening to and helps others discover the content.
For some people, this is their first time giving a rating and review on iTunes and they've found it a little confusing. Let me help you out.

Thoughts On Another Valentine's Day
The hurts from past relationships are real. Science even says that the loss of a love relationship can feel like a withdraw from hard drugs. For a very long while, looking back on these moments was the most hurtful. In each memory, it's the eyes that really stand out to me, looking deep into them. It's like we tapped into something for a brief second. It felt like the moment when the magnet finally gives in.

Things I Just Really Need To Say Right Now
I'm finding myself in this confusing and repeating cycle of men who need some sort of acknowledgment from me. They want to slide up into my DMs and have no idea what to do if I actually respond. They want to know that I've seen them, but there is no follow through. They want to like all my instagram photos, but they don't want to text back when I ask them to come get sushi. They are single guys who want to see if I'll react to them. They are married guys who want to safely play with the idea of flirting with someone who is not their wife.
A Relationship Is A Spiritual Journey - Choose Your Guide Carefully
What if we chose a partner because they made our spirit dig deeper? What if we chose a partner because they made our soul expand and brought us further into our own journey? What if allowed ourselves to be drawn towards the light glowing along the path?

J.J. Watt Can't Get A Girlfriend
J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans can't capture himself a girlfriend, he claims in a recent interview. His schedule is "busy", his life is "crazy." Heard that one before. But, I'm a lot more willing to believe this coming from an NFL star than I am from the ambiguously employed dude I met at Starbucks. JJ: Going to be on TV this Sunday using his muscles to entertain a stadium, Rando Dude: Going to be watching Netflix and tweeting about his hangover. Let's be real.

Temptation Is Everywhere - Thoughts On Gavin Rossdale
I have a dangerous attraction to very successful, charming men. You know, the type of guy with swarms of women actively clamoring for his attention. It's not that I'm insecure about my Number One status. I can match my mate in wits and talent. I look good on his arm. I'm just as much of a catch as he is. What concerns me, however, is the amount of temptation. Every relationship fluctuates between strong and weak moments. There will always be some girl willing to whisper "I won't tell".

Lollapalooza Relationship Goals
My friend Shannon posted this photo of him and his gf, their All-Access wristbands and the city of Chicago at Lollapalooza. This is all the #relationshipgoals . It warms my heart and fills me with general life jealousy all at the same time. Yay! But also cut to me watching Dateline and eating delivery. Heart eyes emoji...but also crying emoji, wine emoji, crying emoji.

Kissing Is The Best
In seventh grade, I had my starry eyes glued to the pages of Seventeen and YM. I read every tip and hint they could possibly have offered for securing that coveted first kiss. I studied the methods and varieties of kissing as if it was a prerequisite for becoming a teenager. Without these skills, you would stay twelve forever.
