True Story: I’m a 12 year old Bee Expert
I first encountered Natasha when she signed up for my free site review. I clicked around her site, fully believing I was reading a blog written by a college student for a botany or entomology class.
Nope! NATASHA IS TWELVE EVER LOVING YEARS OLD.
So I obviously had to interview her! If you’re concerned about ‘kids these days,’ it’s time to put those fears aside.
Welcome to Yes & Yes!

31 New Things: Leave a Really, Really Big Tip
Having worked in the hospitality industry before, I'm usually a pretty good tipper. If you ignore me, make snarky comments about my order of pie and bacon and then spill things on me, I will still probably give you 15%. And if you behave like a human being?

Like most people in the northern half of the northern hemisphere, I am rather non-plussed by post-holiday Winter. Maybe non-plussed is an understatement. Last weekend, I found myself trundling around a third-ring suburb, lost between the overcast sky and beige housing developments. I stopped in a Wal-mart to pick up a few things and while standing in line behind a screaming child, I had an...

This is part 2 (here's part 1) of my incredibly long-winded answer to this series of questions: Dear Sarah Von, I’m currently in my third year of undergrad and I feel completely unnerved. I’m studying Communication Studies and am second guessing myself. My passions and interests are so varied (education, public advocacy, public health) that I’m feeling pulled in so many directions. Will my...
How To Become A Grown Up: Part 1
Dear Sarah Von, I’m currently in my third year of undergrad and I feel completely unnerved. I’m studying Communication Studies and am second guessing myself. My passions and interests are so varied (education, public advocacy, public health) that I’m feeling pulled in so many directions. Will my degree be enough to land me a job after graduation? Can I survive working at a non-profit that pays...
Best Case Scenario Me
You guys? If I'm going to be painfully cliched, 2009 was a roller coaster of a year for me. There were ups, there were downs, my gum fell out of my mouth, got stuck in my hair and I made a weird face when we went by that camera. And while I really, really try to rise to the occasion in tough situations, there are plenty of times when my coping technique goes something like this:1) Freak the eff...
How To Find The Perfect Time To Travel (If That’s Even Possible)
Is there a perfect time in your life to travel? Is it before going to school? After graduation? Before you get that "adult" job? Once you've got a nest egg? Figuring out when you should travel comes down to knowing what you want out. Dear Sarah, I am really excited to be finished with undergrad & begin the next chapter of my life. I have the standard siz month period to wait before starting...
