Full name?: Kelly Holt Position / Job title?: Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Austin Phoenix 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Wait, which part of my childhood does this refer to exactly? Could it be the time when I wanted to be the founder of an environmental advocacy organization I don’t know if you are like me, but when it is actually time to eat, I can never think of anywhere to go. I like to post these restaurant reviews on Friday…just in case you need somewhere new to try this weekend. A few weeks ago, we tried Xian Sushi and Noodle, after reading a review in the local newspaper. I love noodles of any kind, and this place claims to be Austin’s “first hand pulled noodle bar”, so I definitely wanted to check it out. ADDRESS: 1801 E 51 St Bldg C 370 Austin, TX 78723 Since I have been trying to save money, I haven’t been shopping in the typical sense. However, I have been shopping in my closet. Meaning, I have been pulling things out that I haven’t worn in years, and trying to re-purpose them into new outfits. This dress is one of those things; I can’t even remember the last time I wore it.
I was pretty excited when I received an e-mail about financial columnist, Kimberly Palmer’s new book, The Economy of You: Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur and Recession-Proof Your Life. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to get in touch to see if she could share her wisdom with us! Her whole book is about turning your hobbies
Full name?: Ashley Lauretta Position / Job title?: Assistant Publicist at PR by the Book; Freelance writer 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Back in 1999, it was decided that I would become a copy editor at the Chicago Sun-Times – I have Josie Geller from Never Been Kissed to thank for that dream. I have always been a worrier; I can’t even remember how many times my dad has repeated this quote to me: “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.” I can’t help it! Worrying about things that never actually happen is just part of who I am. In some ways, I think worrying helps me to get things done: I worry about my clients’ deadlines, I worry about not having enough media placements, I worry about growing my business, etc. However, a lot of the time worrying is really just I am backkkkk! Okay, well technically I was always here, but I have been really unmotivated for the last few weeks. I hate the feeling of going through the motions without any excitement. Anyways, I had a pretty stellar weekend (hope you did too), and I woke up this morning with a renewed sense of enthusiasm. Since I wasn’t really feeling it, I haven’t spoken that much about all the exciting things that I am going to do in 2014. I am planning to grow my business through videos; they will mostly be how-to PR videos. I am taking the
I wanted to do this post right before the weekend; in case, you were looking for a new place to try out. Let me start out by saying: I have this weird hatred of “cool” places that are located in malls. In my opinion, malls are made for shopping, and the only time you should be at a mall is when the stores are open. They are not made for living or hanging out. However, last weekend, I was meeting up with a friend, and we needed a place that was easy for both of us to get to. We I like to write about things that inspire me. This morning when I was listening to my favorite radio morning show, The Bobby Bones Show, I heard something that was actually incredible. Amy, one of the co-hosts, has periodically shared stories about her mom’s battle with cancer. It went away, came back, went away again, then came back again. I guess right before the holidays, they found out that the cancer had come back in a more aggressive form. Other than, experimental treatment there is nothing left to do. She just shared this last bit of devastating news |
