4 Powerful Ways That Your Schedule Can Impact Your Skin

What To Do With Your Life in March
So long February! We’re leaving you in the dry cleaning bag (along with this year’s sweaters and coats) and not looking back.

4 Non-Glamorous Jobs That Can Launch Your Career
When that dream career doesn’t just fall into your lap, sometimes you need a dramatic change of pace—and perspective.

Do These 4 Things to Get Your Book Club Back on Track
Why am I assuming that your book club is, in fact, off track? Because it is. Has been for a while. Let’s face it — you haven’t met in months (and you spent most of the last meeting talking about Oscar screeners.) As millennial women, we’re consistently drawn to the idea of the bookclub without […]

Do You Have A Food Hang-Up and What to Do About It
For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]
