Why Your Poor Budgeting Skills Are Hurting Your Career
One of the managers who interviewed me once asked me how good I was at budgeting. Ok, I had my standard three strengths and weaknesses prepared, some of my best work experience to date, and this guy was asking me about my budgeting skills. Sure, I kept a flimsy...
Work It: Jacquard-weave Jacket
I like this jacquard-weave jacket from H&M for its original look and stand-out color. The collarless look is pretty unique, combined with the snug fit and pockets in the front. It makes me think of Fall, and is a perfect pick for the upcoming season in a classic,...
Managing Back to School Stress and Work
Happy Thursday! Hard to believe that summer, with its vacation time, week-ends outdoors, and relaxed schedules, is almost over. And with the end of it, comes again the pressure of schedules, organization, tighter schedules, otherwise known as...back to school! As busy...
There’s An App For That: Timeful
Although I'm far from your regular geek, I have to admit I love a good app (who doesn't these days?). And when the app in question helps me combine my messy calendar and endless to-do list, it's a win-win. That's what Timeful does, by creating your to-do list based on...
Coffee Break: Colorblock Tote…and Ballet Flats!

Can You Be Yourself At Work (Or Should You Keep Putting Up a Front?)
Happy Hump Day! I like to add up numbers on car plates while sitting in traffic, or reading words in reverse, or finding patterns in the pitch of people's voices during casual conversations. Nothing that I've ever bragged about at work. Not that I don't find my quirks...
Coffee Break: Are You Healthier at Work than at Home?

Although we don't want to think about it yet, summer's almost over, and as we start preparing for Fall, lighter, long sleeve dresses are slowly making a comeback. Hence today's Work It pick, this Tracy Reese long sleeve surplice dress from Nordstrom Rack. Love the...
How to Deal With A Nice Boss
Happy Monday! How to deal with a nice boss? Duh...be thankful and pray s/he never changes! I've had all kinds of bosses, good ones, not so good ones, nice ones, short ones, tall ones...And like most people, what I seem to remember is the not-so-good-experiences with...
