October 2, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle I am seriously determined to make #letsbrag a thing. Why? Because I think it is important for us girls to share our accomplishments, and truly be proud of the things we have achieved. There is a big difference between being proud and excited when you do something awesome vs. being boisterous and obnoxious.
I was super excited to that Nicole from writes like a girl did a post this morning about the things she is proud of in her life. I wanted to make sure y’all see it, so click here!!!!!! Also, while you

When I first thought about who I would ask to participate in Workin’ Girl Wardrobe, the first person I thought of was Nicole Seligman, from writes like a girl. If you haven’t ever checked out her blog, DO IT NOW! Every time she does an outfit post, I am insanely jealous because I could never pull off all the cute things she wears.
I swear, dressing for interviews is always a stressful situation. Since Nicole is currently on

September 27, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle Yesterday, I read this article on New York Magazine, and it was like the writer was in my brain. (Cliff notes version: Today, our social media platforms act as our resumes, references, etc. Thus, we need to share our successes, and not surprisingly, men do it a whole lot better than women).
She eloquently and cohesively described everything I always feel. As a business owner, I need people to know I am good at what I do. Sometimes, I have a hard time sharing it publicly because I don’t want people to think I am obsessed with myself

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A child star on Broadway – my debut role would be Annie, of course. I even once complained to my parents that they weren’t stage parent-y enough. I know if I had just had a

I found yoga 3 years ago, and my life changed in a way I never knew it could. I decided that while I was still young (and unemployed), I would become an yoga instruction. I mean, why not, right? Ever since I started the training, I have fallen more and more in love with my practice. I have never felt so passionate about anything in my life.
After going to school for four years with a minimal interest in what I was studying, I often wondered what I was going to do. What was I passionate about? What was I

September 22, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle Let me just start off by apologizing because I don’t really know where this post is going. Normally, when I sit down to write something, I have an outline of what I am going to say. However, this time I am just going to ramble because I need to get something off my chest.
The question I have is: Why are we (as in gen-y girls) all so obsessed with dating (or our lack there of)?
Myself included, I feel like there is this big, scary cloud hanging over my head because I am probably going to end up a

I am spending the next few days in the Windy City, which is exciting for a few reasons:
I am meeting with a handful of new PR firms to see if we can work together in the future. I have flown through the Chicago airport a million times, but I have never actually spent any time in the city. It is kinda cold there (well, cold relative to Texas), so I am finally getting to preview my Fall wardrobe!
These mini vacays are the best part of my job because they keep my life exciting, and I love meeting new

During my recent job hunting endeavors, in which I have endlessly applied to 9-5 pm jobs, I have had a revaluation. I’m not even excited about job prospects because the 9-5 position is becoming a bit outdated. Who says that I have to work for a company I don’t even care about just because it is a societal norm?
After talking to a friend about my frustrations, she gave me some of the best advice I’ve gotten in awhile. Now I know I’m very fortunate to have a college degree and my parent’s support, which lets me explore my options.

September 12, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle I feel guilty ALL the time.
I could be having the best day ever, you know the days when the stars are aligned–my hair isn’t frizzy, the barista prepares my iced coffee perfectly, I land major placements for all my clients, etc.—and yet I still have this gnawing sense of guilt in the pit of my stomach. It seriously never goes away. I think it might be a hereditary Jewish guilty kind of thing
If I am out having fun with my friends, I feel guilty for not being at my computer working. On the flip side if I decide

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, but I feel like I always thought I wanted to do something “different.” I was in choir from a young age, and thought that I might do something with that. As I got older, I realized that wasn’t really possible, and I didn’t know
