Fun fact: I’m the baby of the team here at CS by quite a few years. I graduated from college only two short years ago and quickly fell into my dream job of producing photo shoots and blog posts for CamilleStyles.com (and yes, I’m still pinching myself.) In this industry, I’m surrounded by so many […]
Editor’s Note: Today’s post is brought to us by Susan Chen. In addition to starting Soozy’s, the new healthy muffin company we’re all obsessed with, Susan is an expert teacher in Vedic Meditation, a simple and effortless mental technique. Her passion for the practice led her to India, where she spent 4 months immersed in the […]
Personal pitches are hard enough, but what if you’re trying to stop what you’re currently doing and try something new? As the founder of a career platform for women, I spend my days speaking with people who want to change careers but aren’t interested in starting over. They’re terrified that taking risks might mean losing everything […]
When Sharon met Paul Mrozinski in 1977, neither one of them knew that their lives would be changed forever. A small disaster involving a collapsed driveway initially brought them together, but it’s their uncanny ability to work creatively side-by-side that has made them inseparable ever since. Sharon (a designer and antique dealer) and Paul (an architect) […]
Why we’re obsessed with the capital city.
Though the past year has been full of political and cultural uncertainty, for me, a major silver lining of it all is that it’s awoken so many women (myself included) to the fact that we’ve still got to fight for each other. For a lot of my life, I thought that “feminism” wasn’t all that necessary […]
You’ve graduated, worked internships, maybe even freelanced. But how do you make the jump to actually start your career and find a job with zero experience under your belt? It’s a common issue – while you may have excelled at school, once you’ve dropped off the cap and gown, you’ve got a nearly blank resumé. But […]
In college, most of us learned that living with friends can actually be pretty tricky business. So when the question is whether to work with your BFF, the pressure’s much higher. So should you work with a friend? The usual advice goes something like this: No. Never. And… that’s the end of this article. Gotcha! If […]
image via mikutas Handshakes, Facebook friend requests, LinkedIn invitations, book clubs, office happy hours, sweat working (?!), Instagram likes, conferences, workshops, webinars… Last month, I found myself dreading attending yet another holiday party with a friend. I’d spent the season saying “yes” to everything from mixers to outings with coworkers to multiple happy hours in […]
My coworkers and I have been talking a lot about self-care lately, and it struck me just how different each of our practices are. For me, it means doing restorative yoga in my living room, for one coworker it’s thrifting, for another it’s volunteering with dogs. It doesn’t matter what you do, what matters is who […]
Family recipes pack a certain transportive power — when you bite into that same cookie that grandma used to make, you’re suddenly a kid again standing in the middle of her kitchen. The aromas and tastes are directly tied to the memory centers of our brains, and one bite can unlock a lost world of familiarity. But […]
Taylor Jarrett and Dagny Piasecki are an “it” couple in the truest sense of the phrase. You seldom hear one name without the other attached, and in Austin you hear their names EVERYWHERE. They’re the best dressed couple at the party, the adorable pair on the cover of Texas Monthly, the young artistic entrepreneurs who also happen […]
