Heel Repair Kit – Photo: highheelhealers.com
Ever had this pair of gorgeous, classy, wear-all-day-and-all-night-heels that just started to bite the dust…literally! After wearing some of my favorite heels to the ground (and below), I just could not resolve myself to letting them go (or taking the time to find another favorite pair of work and play heels, for that matter)…Well, seems like someone was listening to corporate sisters’ heel pleas all over the world, and came up with….yes, a heel repair kit! And one that we can actually use, without resorting to the hubby, Google or Wikipedia to decipher…
It’s from highheelhealers.com, is priced at a reasonable $15 and fits in your everyday bag (well, at least one of them). How to use it: file the damaged heel pad and glue to your shoe. Simple enough?

Granola Yogurt Parfait – Photo: www.delish.com
As busy as we may be, we can always make time for healthy (and delish) recipes…like this sweet (and guilt-free) granola parfait! It’s the easiest, healthiest, (and prettiest) breakfast to make on-the-go!
It’s not just great for the week-end, but also on busy week days when you know you need those (skinny) calories before hitting the department’s weekly update meeting…
I love easy and elaborate looking recipes that I can just put a bow around and enjoy in no time! Besides, it’s a great alternative when you’re entertaining on the fly and have limited time to spare!

Jimmy Choo “Cheshire” boot – $375 – Nordstrom
In line with our snow gear favorites, we’ve been eyeing this fabulous snow boot for a while now! And within reason, this is the Jimmy Choo of snow boots…literally! This Jimmy Choo “Cheshire” boot is available at Nordstrom for $375! With a rubber lining and sole, this pair of boots made in Italy, looks like it would combine ultra comfort with extra style. So if like myself, going “practical” is not exactly your favorite fashion route, this may just be the perfect compromise!
And frankly, this is one pair of boots I wouldn’t mind spending the day in…

Us+ App – Photo: www.visualnews.com
It’s the new year, and with all the resolutions to excel at our careers, score great job interviews, and just be the best at whatever it is we decide to do, well, we can also get a personality fix with all of it…Because, of course, there’s an app for that…
Us+ is an art project/app that provides feedback about our personalities and the way we handle conversations. How does it do that? Well, by monitoring Google+ video chats and giving you feedback on how well (or how poorly) you did, including reads on your facial expressions and tone of voice!
While this may be hardly adaptable for more personal (or private…hum..conversations), it may constitute a great asset in professional situations. From prepping for interviews to improving our presentation and communication skills at work, this app may just help us acquire better career skills…and maybe, who knows, even a personality fix while we’re at it…
Would you be willing to try this app?
