Pinterest my Interest February 24, 2012
Hello, my name is Marley and I am addicting to Pinterest. There, I said it. I get on Pinterest at least 3 times a day. My favorite thing to look up is Home Decor. I have my entire new house already planned and I haven’t even found anywhere to live yet. I also have my wedding planned and I’m not even engaged. I honestly feel like Pinterest is a great PR tactic to some companies. It all depends on what company it is though. For example, for Food Network, they can create an entire page/board of all these different recipes on Pinterest for people to re-pin. I have recommended the site to a lot of my friends so they can be just as addicted as I am. So far I have only created a couple of things I have found on Pinterest. Over Christmas break, I made an earring tree which is basically a small Christmas tree with earrings as ornaments. I have also used a few recipes off of there. Overall, I feel it is an amazing site and I hope it stays around for a long time since it is so useful.

Valentine’s Day February 17, 2012
Valentine’s Day. The most hated day of the year. Well, not for me. I actually got a dozen roses, box of chocolates, a bag of Kit Kats, and lunch this year from my loving boyfriend, Brad. I remember the first year I celebrated it. I was 7 years old and my “boyfriend” was my neighbor across the pond. We were always playing outside together or in the woods pretending to be The Boxcar Children (lame, I know). He came walking over one day with this huge black trash bag, so of course, I started asking questions what it was. He just ignored me and went straight to my front door. I followed him in my house and he took out a huge teddy bear with heart shaped balloons all over it. I was SO embarrassed. So I ran straight to my closet and hid there for an hour. My dad kept telling me to come out and say thank you for all of my gifts, but my 7 year old blushing face would not come out until dark. I will never forget that Valentine’s Day. It was definitely the most surprising one I’ve ever had.
If I was ever given something I really didn’t want for V-day, birthday, Christmas, or whatever, I would definitely smile and say thank you. Then re-gift it for someone else. If I worked for a florist company, I would persuade people to buy MY flowers with a lot of ads in papers, internet, ect. I would also update my company’s Twitter or Facebook accounts by updating the status and making tweets about how beautiful my company’s flowers were.
Social Media and PR Comments February 10, 2012
Social Media at it’s Best February 10, 2012
Social media has changed the world of PR in a positive way in my opinion. It has made it easier for consumers to get a better aspect of the company they are supporting. Twitter, for example, is a great social media stance for my client (Disney) because it tweets every time a different promotion comes out. I do not like the fact that a lot of companies/individuals employ social media when they do not have a PR background though. It can in fact hurt the company because they do not know all the rules to have a good PR stance when doing it. Plus, it makes it difficult for actual PR people to get a job.

Book Worm February 2, 2012
The topic of the week was if I prefer to read a book or watch a movie. My definite answer would have to be read a book. I have loved to read ever since I was a little girl. I remember the first book I ever read on my own was “The Bert and Ernie Book”. My grandmother would read it with me every time I spent the night with her. As I grew older, I realized my passion for reading. If any of you are following me on Pinterest, check out my “For the Home” board, it is covered with built in book shelves for my future home.
The best books I have ever read was The Hunger Games series. If you have not read them, I strongly suggest you do. Right now I am reading a children’s book written in the 60′s called “The Phantom Tollbooth”. It is a book of mere puns. I haven’t decided if I like it or not though. After reading a book, I do enjoy watching the movie of it to see if it is a lot alike. I re-read all of the Harry Potter books before watching the movies and would get so mad when they would leave out certain parts. The next book I plan to read is “The Help” and watch the movie after.

My Bucket List (again) January 27, 2012
About a year ago I conjured up a bucket list that I seriously abide by. So far I have only done two things on it and it was actually the first and second thing I had written- Attend a Dave Matthews Band concert and to participate in Study Abroad (Costa Rica). Just those two things have been life changing and exciting events that have taken place in my life. Just doing the other things on my list will have a serious impact on my life and I really hope do accomplish every single one of them. The other things I have on my list are:
*Learn to surf
*Write a book
*Learn to play the guitar
*Go to New Zealand
*Catch a Sailfish/Marlin
*Go scuba diving in The Great Barrier Reef
*Take an RV across the country
*Hike the Appalachian Trail
*Live in Costa Rica for a year
*Shake hands with someone who has changed the lives of millions.
*Chase a tornado
*Own my own coffee shop
*Appear in a movie
