As I was putting this post up, I got a little bit emotional. I love reading all the Career Confidentials, but I especially love reading the ones from my friends. These are topics we don’t always spend a lot of time talking about, so I always find their answers to be so interesting and insightful. More than anything “Fitness” seems to be the buzz word that never goes away. This isn’t such a bad thing because being fit and healthy should be a priority; however, the real issue is: who has time for it? There was recently an Internet uproar when Maria Kang, a fitness enthusiast and mother of 3, posted a picture of her toned body, with the caption “What’s Your Excuse?” Well maybe she’s right. I have to say though, I have never been willing to trade my social life for time at the gym. This makes it “more difficult” but again, I think This is why Facebook is a wonderful thing: I noticed that my former roommate, Alix Altit, decided to become a personal trainer! As part of that, she started a YouTube channel with health and fitness videos. The other day, she posted a video with a recipe for a healthy fig martini (check it out below!), and thought it would make a great pre-weekend post. All week I have been looking forward to this weekend because my best friend is coming in town, and we are going to have a fabulous night out. Every once in a while you As you continue to read my blog, one thing that you must know about me is I have major obsessions. I get hooked on random, stupid things that no one else cares about. Past obsessions: Harry Styles, white men’s t-shirts, American Apparel lamé leggings, chunky bracelets, the list could really go on and on. Right now, I am totally obsessed with layering dainty gold necklaces. There is something just kinda charming about them. The other day I went to the mall, and went on a rampage buying more so I could have a variety. I have been wearing
My husband and I celebrated 1-year of marriage. Huzzah! We’ve been together for seven years, so we’re very familiar with what makes a good gift for each other, however, getting gifts for males can always be
She created a comprehensive multivitamin & mineral mixture in crystal powder form that I’m guest writing this blog for Neon Notebook to ask the eternal question: do the crazy girls get the guy? As a recently-hired Cosmo writer (ahem, humble brag), I feel like I should have at least some sense of how all of this shit works, but let me tell you the truth: I am a disaster with everything related to dating and guys. (Thankfully for you all, I mostly write about fashion…) A recent real-life event (names changed, because, like, that’s hella awkward to give out the identity of this poor girl) prompted a long-winded gchat with Bekah, which ultimately At the beginning of the year my friend Belle told us she was going to spend the summer traveling all over Europe. Terrific! Who are you going with? No one. Aacckkk. Are you sure that’s a good idea? Four months on her own in strange countries is daunting for any solo traveler, let alone Belle who only just turned 21 and had never left the small town where she grew up. Of course–after all was said and done– she had a fabulous time! Leave it to a 21-year old to have such confidence (and naivety perhaps?) Belle’s advice for solo
So, I am REALLY excited about this post. I know, you are probably thinking, she always says she is excited about every post. Ha! Fair enough, I am usually pretty into everything I post, but that is the benefit of having your own blog. Anyways, I think this is post is extra special because we got to chat with entrepreneur, turned author, Jennifer Tress! Her new book, “You’re Not Pretty Enough” (YNPE), is a compilation of hilarious, relatable stories based on her life. She came up with the title for her book (and platform) based off of something |
