How to Stop Looking for the Perfect Career
I'm a perfectionist, always have been, probably always will be at this point. And as a perfectionist, I'm always looking for...ummm, perfection. The perfect job, perfect commute, perfect work-life balance, just the perfect career! Not surprisingly, I'm a proud...
Coffee Break: Layla Headphones
So I was never into the earbud-type headphones. Not sure if it's the size of my ears, some ear wax issues, personality incompatibility, but I just can't get them to stay put through an entire Beyonce jam (also take into account frequent more or less violent head...

It's the Last Call sale at Neiman Marcus, with discounts up to 70% off! I love this fashionable Albert Nipon crepe two-piece suit in ivory, with its original V-neck jacket. Other than for interviews and uber-formal work settings, I'm not much of a suit girl; so when I...
Coffee Break: Any.Do App

One of my favorite working girls' blogs, Corporette, had a great sponsored post yesterday on the amazing sale going on at Sole Society (check out the post and great shoe selections here). And of course, as the bona fide shoe addict I am, I couldn't help but be all...
How to Stop Thinking You Suck At Your Job
Happy Tuesday! Yes it is Tuesday, day 2 of the week, and it was honestly so difficult to get out of bed this morning I thought we were closer to Friday. But it's Tuesday, and while it may literally suck for some of us under some type or other of work pressure,...
Coffee Break: Desk Feet Hammock
It's coffee break time, and right about now, all you want to do is prop your feet up, sip on your second third cup of coffee, and imagine yourself laying on the beach...Except you're at your desk, the beach is nowhere near, and your feet are still sore...unless of...
