April 11, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionGreetings from Providence, RI!
I got here yesterday morning, and I spent some time just wandering the city. I walked around downtown, RISD, and the river. Then, ate an amazing dinner at The Grange. The poutine was out-of-control delicious. This morning, I am going to head over to Brown, just to say I have been there.
Oh, but not before I stop at Dunkin Donuts for an iced coffee. Here’s the thing, there are Dunkin Donuts in Austin, but they are few and far between. In Boston and NYC, they are everywhere, so that is all I would

It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in: everyone wants to be the best they can. When you see very successful business leaders, there can be a sort of “false aura” of unreachable success around them. If you can get beyond their paycheck, you will realize that the strategies they use can be applied by anyone. For example, when you look at the three founders of BlogHer, one of the largest publishing networks for

April 6, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionI have to say, this weekend was pretty fun. Sometimes I get into this anti-social mode, where I feel like I have to use the weekends to catch up on work. That usually leaves me feeling pretty blah. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, and I have definitely started to prioritize it more. The result? I have really been wayyyy happier.
The weekend started off with a bang. It was one of my oldest (not in terms of age; in terms of how long we have known each other) friend’s birthdays. We went out on Friday night, and it

April 4, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionRecently, I have been thinking a lot about that quote “you have to dress for the position you want” or how ever it goes. Next week, I have a few big business things happening, and I realized that I didn’t really have any professional clothes that make me feel confident. While I have an ample amount of v-necks and jeans, other than a plain pair of black slacks and DVF rip-off wrap dress, I don’t have fashionable pieces for meetings, events, speaking gigs.
So, last weekend, I decided to change that, by taking a little trip to the mall. Nothing

April 1, 2014 by Claire Hardee in ETC.**SPOILER ALERT – How I Met Your Mother Ending**
Here’s the problem with all fans of TV shows in general – when they get invested in a TV show, they start generating all sorts of expectations for the characters. I learned from my Gilmore Girls days that you should never ever set any kind of expectations for series finales. Ever. Also, remember LOST, you guys?
So, this is the day after the How I Met Your Mother finale aaaaand, well, haters gonna hate. I watched the Facebook, Twitter and

March 30, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionThis is probably one of my most favorite outfits that I own. I LOVE, LOVE mixing prints, but it does take a certain amount of skill to make sure you don’t leave the house looking like you got dressed in the dark. You can easily elevate the fashion-factor (is that even a phrase?) of an outfit when you combine some good patterns.
Through trial and error (yes, some major fashion faux pas), I have learned a few things about mixing and matching. Here are ways to make it work:
1) Wear two different prints that have the same color, like

With the “Ban Bossy” campaign picking up steam, it’s helping to empower women everywhere – including the workplace. But according to a recent Huffington Post article, women lead only 4.2 percent of our largest public corporations, make up only 14 percent of top officers in corporate America and fill a measly 18 percent of board seats. These statistics show the gender bias in today’s workplace, which is why it’s so important for women to assert themselves in

Finding time to squeeze in a workout can be a bit of challenge especially if you have a demanding work schedule.

March 23, 2014 by Rebekah in Career, ETC.I am a podcast fanatic; without my podcasts, my work day would be so boring!! The point is I was pretty stocked when Natalie Eckdahl, host of The Biz Chix Podcast asked me to be on an episode. My very first podcast interview!
I obviously loved it! I mean who doesn’t love to just chit chat about life, career, hobbies for 30 mins?!
In my interview, we discussed the differences between gen y and gen x, how we can all work together and PR tips for the average entrepreneur. Another hot topic that we touched on was whether

So, yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with the wonderful ladies of UT’s Phi Beta Chi chapter, which is a professional women’s sorority. When they first asked me to be a guest at their monthly meeting, I was a little nervous because they told me I could talk about anything. This kind of free for all is daunting because I am used to only speaking about PR.
When I was pondering what I should talk about, I remembered reading this post on writes like a girl, where Nicole shared her life mantras. I thought, “what
