Friday Five: 5 Road Trip Essentials
Hey y'all, I'm Dara and I blog over at The Southern Thing. I am originally from Louisiana, hence the whole southern thing, but relocated to New England about a year ago! My move required a 24 hour, 1,400 mile drive across the country to my new home, so I thought I would share with you some road trip essentials!
If you would like to hear more about my road trip across the country, you can read about it here. With it being summer, many of you will be going on vacations, so don't forget to pack these must haves!
One. Sunnies. A definite must for any daytime drive!
Two. Starbucks. Perfect for keeping you awake and focused. And it just tastes down right amazing!
Three. Phone car charger. Because nobody wants a dead iPhone!
Four. GPS. To get you where you need to go. You don't want to go the wrong direction!
Five. iTunes and a fun playlist. This was a life saver for my drive. Add as many songs as you can!
If you would like to keep up with my new journey in New England, you can follow me here:
Have a great weekend everyone!
Today's Friday Five post is written by Dara who blogs over at The Southern Thing. Dara is a Northeast blogger from Connecticut who loves shopping, fashion and her little poodle, Haily!

Blog of the Week: ManEater Me
This week's blog of the week is ManEater Me!
Hi new family! I'm a daytime insurance professional and nightime writer living on the Jersey shore. I recently created my own blog, ManEater Me. As the title suggests, my blog is about two things: men and eating. I've struggled with weight my entire life and had weight loss surgery in July 2011. I've also been dating for 10 years and found that it doesn't get any less weird, so I've got a lot to say about both topics. ManEater Me is geared towards food struggles and healthy eating in general, so the site is accessible to everyone, not just those of us who have had bariatric surgery.
A lot of what I write is a little edgy, a little provocative, and sometimes a little shocking. It's not intended to offend; I truly believe I'm giving a voice to what a lot of people are already thinking.
When I'm not writing, I'm working on maintaining my weight loss through an active and healthy lifestyle--trying new recipes, getting outside, and appreciating the second chance I've been given. I'm also enjoying the newfound freedom that comes with a 100lb weight loss: an exciting social life, getting free stuff, and fitting into movie theater seats.
