What is G.U.M?

Published by

G.U.M is a company geared towards bringing the millennial community together through the common love of 80s & 90s nostalgia and our never-ending battle with adulthood. From quarter life crises to unconventional career paths (YouTubing, Blogging, etc.) we aim to foster an environment of support, positive interactions, and collaborations. In a nutshell… We are the twenty-somethings and (early) thirty-somethings that realized no one prepared us for adulthood. The ones who don’t want to spend the next 40+ years sitting through a 9 to 5 job that we hate.The ones that are settling down and starting families AND the ones who are watching and are far from ready. The ones that are eager to be self employed, have money that makes itself, travel the world, be fit, and in style.The ones that are last to remember a life that wasn’t tech heavy and first to grow up with ever-evolving technology. The ones who strive to figure out the secret to work-life-balance and “having our shit together.” We are the ones that hate the negative connotation older generations associate …

Everything You Need To Know To Write The Perfect Twitter Bio

Published by

Writing a good Twitter bio (and perfecting social media, itself ) is an art form. It’s taken myself many months of trial and error as well as extensive research. You have 160 characters and less than 60 milliseconds to sell yourself to strangers.The images shown are the current look of the Young & Twenty Twitter page. I hope they can prove to be of visual help. Stay tuned for more posts on what I’ve learned about Twitter but for now, take a look at the list I compiled of everything you need to know to write the perfect Twitter bio. 1. A Good Picture Your profile picture should be a photo that includes your face, or at the very least, your back, side or I’ve even once used my legs. There’s no denying that people relate better to humans and faces more than Internet graphics and pixelated logo’s, but it’s obviously not everyone’s intention to put their identity out there. If you insist on your keeping your anonymity, try creating a virtual character of yourself, or …

SOMETIMES WE’RE SCARED

Sometimes we’re scared to save someone’s life; in fear we’ll forfeit our own, and sometimes we’re scared to share the lessons we learned; in fear of retracting our path. That’s why, too often, the people who have seen the dark, choose to leave their problems there. But here’s to the ones who brush off mud like it’s sand. The ones who refuse to leave their story of survival in the dark. The ones who refuse to let their tragedy, stop them from telling their tale. Read more…

Smoothies are a delicious, simple, filling way to start off any morning. They can take some time however especially if you’re in a rush as I always seem to be that early in the day. They are my favourite breakfast meal so I’ve put together some tips to make the whole smoothie making process a lot quicker for those early morning starts! 1. Do the ground work the night before The most troublesome part of smoothie making is chopping up all those juicy fruits and vegetables. (Yes, vegetables – we’ll get to that later.) The night before decide what kind of smoothie you want and wash and cut as many ingredients as you can. Note that fruits such as applesand pears will go brown if you leave their inside exposed overnight so it’s best to choose fruit that keep their colour. Inspired by the above Martha Stewart recipe I adapted it into a vegan friendly version 14 large strawberries 1 banana, chopped 1/4 cup or 35g of raw or chopped…

A Letter to My Best Friend

To you, I love you in the most platonic way possible. You’re my best friend. You have grown to be like a sister. Not that I need any more of those, but you have. I’ve never had a friendship this strong that wasn’t bound by blood. I know I’ve never truly been in a relationship, but I believe this is how people in relationships feel. I constantly worry about losing you. Not because I think you would willingly choose to abandon our friendship, but because the people who enter my life have a tendency to come and go. I think about what will happen when we graduate from college, and we head our separate ways. It makes me incredibly sad, and I know I shouldn’t be, because I have no idea what will happen. We could make long distance friendship our bitch, ya know? But we could also get so busy with our new lives and our new jobs and our new friends that we stay in contact less and less.…
