Recently, 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
Not that long ago, I made a mistake that essentially turned out to be a publicists’ worst nightmare. I sent an e-mail in confidence to an editor, and it happened to have a careless typo in it. The e-mail (typo and all) was published very publicly accompanied by remarks about how no one should ever
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?

This 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
When Elke Govertsen was 25, she died. Flat lined in a hospital-the whole nine yards.
But, let’s start from the beginning because Elke’s story isn’t typical. She grew up in poverty in Alaska, and her first job was as a welder. After that, she traveled the world helping at-risk groups, including starving families and
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
Finding time to squeeze in a workout can be a bit of challenge especially if you have a demanding work schedule. There are few key things to remember, by making simple life changes you will be able to achieve a decent workout everyday. For example according to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services by simply omitting the elevator from you daily routine and taking the stairs you are making strides to a healthier version of yourself. You can burn up to 45 calories daily by climbing three flight of stairs three times a day, do
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
