November 27, 2013 by Rebekah in Career, ETC.Fact: finding a job is a numbers game. The more contacts, friends, phone calls, emails, and face-to-face interviews you have, the more likely you are to land a reasonable position in this difficult economy.
Tony Beshara, Ph.D., creator The Job Search Solution has placed over 100,000 people in jobs with the ideology of “if you manage the process, the result (landing a great job) will take care of itself.” He REALLY knows what he is taking about!
The majority of questions I get from people reading this blog, have to do with the job search process, and how

November 25, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionAs I mentioned before, it was cold and rainy all weekend in Austin, so it was the perfect time to bust out all my over-sized sweaters and leggings. I was excited because on Saturday, the cold front finally gave me a reason to wear my new zip up cardigan from Old Navy (c/o). It was just as warm and cozy as I had anticipated.
One of the things I love the most about Austin is that you are in a city, but with a quick 15-20 minute drive you can be in the middle of no

November 25, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionTrue, but embarrassing: sometimes when I can’t decide what outfit to wear, I ask my dog. Obviously, she can’t actually answer, but if she wags her tail, then I just assume she is telling me that she likes it. I know, it is pathetic; I am well on my way to becoming a dog lady.
Luckily, I no longer need to ask my dog for fashion advice because now there is an app for that. Postelio lets you quickly ask friends and family for their fashion opinions while you’re out shopping. How cool is that?!
We all know

November 24, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleSo yesterday, it was extremely cold and rainy, and for anyone that knows me, knows I despise the cold. I am all about the hot Texas summers. The only thing that could motivate me to throw on an over-sized sweater, and leave my cozy apartment was the promise of hot pho.
In the end, I am glad I left because we had a pretty amazing meal. Below are the details.

Oh man, it is a cold, rainy day here in Austin. Of course all the things I was going to do today involved being outside, so it looks like I am going to spend the day hibernating in my warm apartment. Not so bad.
As the week goes on, I always compile a list of links/stories that I want to write about. However, most of the time, I never actually get around to writing the posts. For some reason, this week, I noticed a lot of things that were particularly inspiring to me. So, I wanted to share them with

November 22, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionAlas, we are finally at Friday; the last day of my red, white & black series. Today’s pop of red: jeans! Every girl should have at least one or two pairs of fun jeans in her closet. Check out these ferocious options: Rockstars by Old Navy, Foiled Metallic Jeggings by Joe’s Jeans, Levi’s Denim Leggings at Kohl’s, Floral Print Skinny Jeans at Forever 21.
I saved this outfit for last because I definitely think it is the

November 22, 2013 by Rebekah in Career, ETC.I have been doing tons of public speaking lately, and while I love every minute of it, I still get really nervous before each presentation. Public speaking has always kinda been my thing. I was a debater (yes, all jokes welcome) in high school, and now a big part of my career is doing workshops for publicists and college students.
I really do understand why people have a fear of public speaking; it is not for the weak at heart.
However, the truth is that no matter what career path you pick, you will probably have to get in front

November 21, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleEvery year, I look forward to the day when Starbucks brings back the festive, red holiday cups. In my mind, that is the official kick off to the holiday season, my favorite time of the year! I get really excited about Black Friday, Christmas music, and all the parties and get-togethers. While the holiday season is supposed to be fun, it can also be extremely stressful. There is a reason why November is National Stress Awareness Month!
Kelly Walsh, 20 year human resource veteran, president of 1SmartLife and author of the Teeter Totter Conundrum, explains why our stress

Next up, red shoes + a flannel! The perfect outfit for a casual Sunday afternoon.
 I have no idea what is happening in this picture; don’t even ask.
November 20, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionHappy Wednesday! Keep on plugging away, and being fabulous, Friday will be here soon enough.
This awesome clutch (another amazing thrift store find) is my pop of red for Day 3. If you can take away one thing from my red, white and black series, it should be that you can find your best statement pieces at thrift stores.
 This skull sweater is also a pretty sweet find from a random store on Melrose Ave in LA. I can promise you as the weather
