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 I’m not even excited about job prospects because the 9-5 position is becoming a bit outdated.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., LifestyleI 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

September 2, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI am not going to lie I had pretty low expectations for my birthday this weekend. The past year has been so crazy busy that the big day just kinda crept up on me. Birthdays are kinda like New Years; you build everything up, and it just becomes a disappointment. I have to tell you though, despite my best efforts to be a debbie downer, my birthday kicked ass thanks to the amazing people in my life. I feel so loved and appreciated, and it honestly feels really nice.
The one thing I do love about birthdays is they allow

I love acquiring things cheaply. After we moved out of our college apartment, I bought a lamp at a garage sale for $5. It was a pretty sturdy looking thing, the only problem with it was the lampshade was a little icky. There was a stain on it and part of it was a little cracked and bent.  No big deal, I thought, I’m sure I can craft my way out of this one. Welllll several months later

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I’ve always loved writing and wanted to write stories when I grew up. I loved fiction and was obsessed with Star Wars as a child, so I thought becoming the next George Lucas would be the end-all, be-all. Then, in high school, after Hurricane

My sophomore year of college, I had an amazing year of freedom, living in a house with four of my sorority sisters. I relished in the idea of truly becoming an adult. Living with four close friends was like having that endless sleepover I dreamed about as a middle schooler. Then, summer came and I found myself with a great internship in the marketing department of the same hospital where my mom worked. This meant I was moving back home for the summer! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!
After the first week at home, I was dealing with some major passive

August 14, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleNext week, I am going to NYC, and I CAN’T wait!! Who wouldn’t be excited about a fabulous weekend escape? Not going to lie, when I am in NYC, I really channel my YOLO mentality, and live it up. My credit card usually gets a good work out (can’t be responsible all the time!).
Normally, I wait till the last minute to even think about packing, but I already started mentally packing. This is how excited I am!
I think every career girl should be required to live in NYC for some time to learn some real life lessons. Really,

My alarm went off this morning, and series of expletives went through my head. Can’t I just sleep a little bit longer? If I am sleeping, then I am not forced to tackle my never-ending list of to dos. After snoozing about a 100 times, I begrudgingly got my lazy ass out of bed, and decided to conquer this lovely Monday.
Mondays set the tone for the entire week, so I need to have a happy, productive, successful day. I swear the impending doom of a birthday is seriously causing me to question my entire life. I am determined: this
