Hey ... I'm Michele Mathews, half of The Morning Bull Pen. I'm a working mother of four kids trying to juggle everyday life without dropping any balls along the way. I'm born and raised in the Yakima Valley dirt. I started out in radio at the age of 15 at the Yakima Valley Skills Center. I've moved around the dial to various radio stations and took a few years off to raise babies before finding my home on The Bull. My one vice is drinking a mint mocha every morning. I LOVE (obsessed with) Alexandar Skarsgard, Sam Hunt and Tim McGraw. Follow me on Twitter @michelecomedy, Instagram @michelemathewscomedy and Snapchat @michelem929. Remember that I love you!

What’s That Awful Smell In Your Car?

Using Coca-Cola to Tan? You’re Opening a Can of Trouble, Doctors Say
There's a new trend in England that's making its way to our country. People are pouring Coca-Cola on themselves to tan faster.
Apparently, it gives your skin a bronze glow from the carmel dye. But dermatologists are not fans of the new trend because the Coca-Cola's exfoliating nature only intensifies the effect of the sun's harmful rays...

Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar is Closing This Saturday
One of my favorite restaurants is closing! Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar in the Valley Mall has announced that they will close their doors this Saturday (June 17).
