October 28, 2013 by Contributor in ETC., LifestyleAt 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

 This is the first time we have had a POP STAR fill out our Career Confidential Q&A. I was pretty stoked when Sarah Blaine sent me back her answers. She definitely offers a new/different perspective on doing what you are passionate about, and figuring out a way to make it work financially. Her life is never dull, that is for sure! Last week she opened for Demi Lovato at The Dignity Gala, which celebrated

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

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
For a good five years, I was convinced that I would grow up to become a princess (until my parents informed me that, despite telling me I could be whatever I wanted, I could not, in fact, grow up to

October 7, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI am all sorts of sucking at life today. I went to ACL this weekend, and for any of you that know about ACL, it is a marathon music festival: 3 days and hundreds of bands. Needless to say, I am not really functioning today; it was totally worth it though. I wasn’t going to do a blog post today because I need to focus on my real job (aka my bank account is looking pretty sad). Just so you understand the intensity of ACL, this picture pretty much sums it up (photo credit: Crissy Borges).

2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position?
I guess you could say I found a knack for building stories and brands, instead of homes. I enjoy writing, and wanted to be in a business built on relationships.

October 2, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI 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

September 27, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleYesterday, 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
