I read an article recently about employers and teachers expecting a second round of productivity to rev up after summer ends, almost like a second New Year. For children, they’ve had the summer off and understand the new beginning of a school year. For many adults, they’ve taken a little time off to spend with…
This week holds the first Monday of 2019, and is officially the first full week of the New Year. That means, most of us are heading back to work, and trying our best to jump into a routine. As exhausted as I was at the end of last year, I feel really good about this…
I’m attending a couple Galas this Winter. Do you have any suggestions on cute evening gowns that aren’t too expensive? You know I do! If I’m only going to wear it once I hate to spend too much on it. Here are some evening gown options that won’t break the bank – [show_shopthepost_widget id=”3407523″] Have…
I just got bad news that will have me financially strapped, and I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel right now. I’m now feeling overwhelmed and stressed. My question for you is, how do you deal with bad days? Either now, or maybe back when you were still trying to reach…
This morning was tough. I stayed in all weekend in attempts to tackle a rigorous to-do list and make the most out of the 48 hours allotted to me. I was feeling a ton of guilt because my to-do list is growing considerably faster than I can cross items off of it. I had a…
With everything you have to balance all at once, how do you avoid feeling overwhelmed? I struggle with anxiety and have a hard time getting things done with so much on my plate. Oh believe me, I have those same struggles. There are some things that sit on my to-do list for months and I’m…
I had met with a few of my close girl friends for brunch, like we always do. One is the owner of a very successful online boutique, one an award winning nurse and myself, a PR professional. This particular time our conversation was centered toward business which isn’t surprising because honestly, we’re all a bit…
Considering the fact that we will enter the last month of 2016 this week, I think it’s safe to say that time has flown at a scary rate this year. While I’m preparing for everything I plan to conquer in 2017, it’s only right that I look back and dissect what I’ve done the past…
I’m going on a bachelorette party in Miami in January. What are some restaurants, site seeing opportunities that you can share that will work for a group of women? I love Miami! It’s such a good time and I miss it so much (can I come with y’all?! lol). I love STK in Miami, because we don’t…
When I originally drafted this post, I sat last Tuesday smirking at the thought of me being able to boast that my girl Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump with the entire world watching. I drafted it with all of the confidence in the world that Hillary would be taking on the grueling honor of being…
I’ve done what I said I wanted to do; create a platform where I can discuss ambitions with other young women who are looking to leave their mark. Has it even began to touch the magnitude of where I believe it will go? No, but it’s given me the opportunity to talk to dozens about…
I tried looking for you on YouTube, but couldn’t find you. Do you have plans to start a channel at all? I think your segments like Coffee Talk would be great for YouTube. I literally just had this conversation with my friend Angela. She insists that I need to be using Snapchat and tells me…
“When you feel the pain go all the way through…” This video, this lesson is one of great value. It’s the perfect analogy of the trials you’ll fight throughout your lifetime. Had we all learned this as children, we would’ve been better off. But instead, even as adults, we are hesitant to keep pressing when…
How do you continually find the inspiration to keep topics flowing on your blog? I’ve always been easily inspired. One thought or experience would ignite my thought process and I’d have an engaging conversation ready to go. In all honesty, it’s random – just like life. I don’t plan out what I decide to post,…
I don’t know about you, but my week last week was far from ideal. From finalizing every detail of a four-day event I’ll be at this week, to constantly refreshing social media to see what people were talking about; I was all over the place. It was taking me twice as long to do things…
