Gotta love my Gorsum earbuds. We all know how funny I am with my earbuds and headphones.

Memorable Movie Quote

I have a ridiculous amount of movie quotes stuck in my brain. Of course so many are written out in my notebook, but most are spoken by me so much, there's no need to write them down. Quotes from the silly like "Milk was a bad choice" to the creepy like "I can't sleep; the horses keep me up at night." So I ask you, what is the movie quote you use most often?

This post was made possible by my friends at #thermalabs, my favorite way to tan.

FUN POST

So I haven't asked YOU for your input in a while (sorry!) but what is your favorite odd fact?

There are so many but I'm going to have to go with the fact that S is Harry Truman's actual middle name, because it combines my love for presidential history with a truly baffling idea that a middle name could be a single letter because his parents couldn't agree on an actual name.

Tell me yours in the comments...I may just add it to my notebook. :)

Perusing

There's nothing like perusing the 'ol GenZ website in your #renardcompressionsocks. The Renard Compression Socks are so comfortable. I got them at a heavily discounted rate and feared that they would be tight, but they are perfect. Still, they have just the right amount of support on my muscles. These are great for when I go walking or work out, but for now, I am wearing them at my computer desk, and they are so comfortable! Find them here. #Renardcompression

A Special Message from Morissa About GenZ

“Last June, after graduating from Drew University, I was all set to begin my life as a grad student at NYU. I had my acceptance letter in hand when I decided that this was not actually the school for me. It was time for a new plan.

I was in the process of having VIP Ink Publishing publish my book, but at the same time, I saw so many young writers and students with talent not getting the recognition that they deserved. I realized how difficult it is for new and young writers to be published. And thus, GenZ Publishing was born.

I started writing up my business plan. I showed it to my father (Leon), an entrepreneur himself, who encouraged me more than anyone could possibly dream. He gave me advice and steered me in the right direction. I kept planning my business for months, while I began graduate study at Monmouth University. Then, VIP Ink released my book, and it became a bestseller. That reinforcement reignited my need to help other talented new writers get published.

I officially launched GenZ on November 23. I had no marketing budget or allowance. I only had my work ethic. I began promoting my new company via social media. I would often stay up until 4am, trying to find the perfect new writers for my company and ways to make GenZ a success.

Then, in December, I received an email from Kevin W. Peery who had written an incredible poetry book. I was a huge fan of Mr. Peery’s music (If you haven’t heard “Life’s Too Short,” you’re really missing out) and decided that he would be GenZ’s first published author. I am so glad I did.

Mr. Peery’s book is now in the top 10 of Amazon’s Hot New Releases for American Poetry, and I could not be prouder.

The past couple months have felt like years in how quickly GenZ has grown. We now have twelve signed authors and have gotten dozens of query letters in the past few weeks. The authors have formed an amazing community and are such talented and kind individuals. We are publishing everything from supernatural thriller to autobiographical inspirational books to YA sci-fi.

GenZ has grown so quickly to become something even better than I could have possibly imagined. I am so thankful and cannot wait to see what happens next.”

Venus and Dressup Golf

Today's fact: A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus...wrap your head around the logistics of that. And speaking of Venus, where are my golf goddesses?

My friends at Kissi Couture are all about style for girls who play golf...


If there is one thing that young girls have in common, it is a desire to play dress up.  Kissi Couture understands this and has finally introduced to the world an apparel line that has girls even looking forward to playing golf.

From barbie dolls and princess dresses to the latest teen fashion trends, girls have always liked pretty things. Why is it then so difficult to find cute styles for girls within golf? How could the golf fashion industry overlook using style as a way to attract more girls to the sport? These are exactly the questions my daughters Morgan and Makenna Rodriguez began asking when they started competing in junior golf.
Determined to design trendy clothes that would inspire young girls to play golf, the Rodriguez

Sisters decided to launch Kissi Couture in 2012. Kissi Couture has since exploded into a nationwide apparel brand with increasing demand amongst Junior Golf Girls.

Through stylish, original apparel, Kissi Couture now inspires even non-golfers to want to dress  like golf divas. Kissi Couture offers a variety of adorable looks; including bright colors, pageant sashes, splatter paint prints, ruffle skorts, and a KC crest logo that will have any girl feeling like a princess. Some of Kissi Couture's specialty garments even feature playful sayings such as "Kiss My Putt", or a seasonal "Ho Ho Hole In One". Girls just want to have fun, and Kissi Couture now allows golf girls an outlet through which to do so.

Inspire a young golf diva you know with adornments that will have her skipping down the fairway. Kissi Couture, cute, trendy apparl for your Diva Athlete.

Valentine's Day

Have you ever watched a video and just laughed so uncontrollably, completely forgetting aany and all social queues, that you then had to explain to the folks around you that this video was just too funny not to laugh at? Because that's totally what happened with this gem, just in time for Valentine's Day. It is truly hilarious. 

So a bit of background on this: Comedian, singer, awesome hair having guy, Raphae De Ximon or Raah-Fey Deh Shi-moan (as written in the YouTube description), has given us the Valetines Day Song we didn’t know we needed. The concept is very simple, he wanted to make a sexy, sweet song without putting too much thought into it. This is the result.

We're big fans, Raphae! The background American flag was a nice touch.

Meet the Author
