From magazines like Cherry Bomb to dating apps like Bumble to Career Contessa’s own Hire a Mentor platform, ladypreneurs are increasingly introducing resources tailored to women like them. You know, whipsmart, snarky, and just plain cool. Here are seven platforms […]
Last week, we got into a heated conversation about holiday cards (well, it was about as heated as a conversation about holiday cards can be.) It basically came down to each of us in the office being at different life stages — from being married-with-children to fresh in a new relationship — and because of that, […]
I’ve had a secret weapon in my makeup drawer for awhile now, and it’s a bit of an unsung hero; its versatility never ceases to amaze me. Did anyone guess a “multiple stick?” No? Then get ready to take notes. The color might change with the seasons (I love coral in summer and more pink-toned in winter), but I […]
Before I tell you about the most obnoxious email thing you do, let me tell you a story. Picture this: It’s 4:52 P.M. on a Thursday and I have big plans to meet my girlfriends at a new swanky wine bar. It’s 8 minutes to Happy Hour and then I’m letting loose. Then this thing […]
The idea of “being green” can sometimes seem a little intimidating. Most of the tips I read about in magazines and on blogs feature out-of-reach goals that are both time consuming and unrealistic for my lifestyle. But after realizing in recent months how much paper, glass, and energy I have been wasting, I decided it was […]
Freckles seem to be one of those grass-is-always-greener traits: those who have them hate them and those who don’t have them wish that they did! As for our office, everyone is in complete agreement that freckles are a gorgeous feature. I’d heard rumor of an actual “freckle pencil” on the market, so I hit the mall […]
The number one sign that fall has arrived? (and no, I’m not talking about pumpkin spice lattés.) The arrival of a beautiful new pair of boots on my front porch, and an absolute craving to start wearing them despite the still 90-degree temps here in Austin. I’ve always been a boot girl; once October rolls around, I pretty […]
With temperatures still in the 90s here in Austin, it’s hard to believe that it’s officially fall. But here in the office we’ve been itching for the seasons to change for a couple weeks now. We’re swapping our green juices for vanilla fig smoothies, and taking notes on how to dress for fall while we wait for the […]
Don’t be afraid of the dark.
ed. note: Thrilled to finally share a piece from a good friend who happens to be one of the best writers I know on the topics of dating, singledom, and life as a modern woman. Since so many of my single friends are wondering if it’s still possible in this age of dating apps to meet someone IRL, […]
Last summer, I had a serious cold brew coffee addiction. Once (sometimes twice) a day, I’d leave our offices to take a “walk,” which really meant stopping by a high-end coffee shop and shelling out $3 or $4 per trip. Think about that. $4—sometimes $8—of my daily budget went into my caffeine fix. That’s like […]
September feels like it’s time to get a little bit serious again: putting away the beach reads in favor of that new memoir we’ve been meaning to read or trying out the podcast that’s finally going to help us start meditating. Then again, going back to work and school might also mean that you need a few diversions that are pure […]
