I had a good eight to ten years of internet free existence, and let me tell you, most days I want to hop into a time machine and transport myself back to the days when I wasn’t constantly overwhelmed with emails and Facebook messages or faced with the burden of having to think of carefully crafted tweets and witty Tumblr posts.

So you want to party like Gatsby? 1920s-themed parties seem to be especially popular lately with the upcoming release of The Great Gatsby movie on May 10. It’s actually really easy (and fun!) and you don’t need a mansion to do it. Although that would definitely be pretty awesome, we’re not all rich like Jay Gatsby himself, so I’m going…
