Women are the greatest, most powerful force in the world.  We're mothers, daughters, and sisters, best friends and life partners, bosses and co-workers, athletes, influencers, innovators, and the face of the future.  But often, our power is not given a chance to reach its full potential.  Women around the world are limited, whether i...

As a college student and developing young professional, I'm constantly invited to events and meetings where the dress code reads ‘business casual.’  While I'm excited for these opportunities, in the back of my mind I am usually panicking and thinking, ‘WTF does that even mean?’  The good news is, I know I’m not alone.  Time and time ...

November is a time for fall, family, and giving thanks.  But it's also a time for reflection, and for raising awareness for a disease that, though extremely prevalent, tends to get less attention than it so direly needs and deserves.  That disease is Alzheimer’s.Purchase Time to Be Brave Watch here and 10% will be donated to Cure Alz...

Let’s face it: studying is the worst.  You’re either bored, tired, stressed, confused, overwhelmed, or, worst of all, hungry.  Trying to study when you’re hungry is super distracting, and, if you’re anything like me, the night will likely be less productive than if you had just eaten a snack.  So, before you hit the books, step up yo...

I’ll be  the first to admit — as much as I wish I hated reality TV, I really, REALLY love it.  I mean, what’s better than coming home, grabbing some chips and guac, and unwinding to the tune of ‘Literally Kim, you’re being so rude’ or ‘designers, make it work?'  But when your brain starts turning into mush and your biggest concern in...

Going back to college is, well…a lot of things.  It’s exciting, it’s intimidating, it’s fun, it’s overwhelming, and, frankly, it can be confusing.  You’re probably in a new place, with new people, facing new responsibilities and challenges, all as you struggle to balance the many things on your plate.  Luckily, as someone who has aga...

Picture yourself on a white sand beach.  Tropical music plays in the background, the sun falls into your palm frond covered cabana juuuuust so, the mojito in your hand is perfectly cold and a waiter is on call to bring you another right when you need it.  Everything is perfect… until you open your eyes and realize you’re STILL stuck at ho...

There it is — in the corner of the shop, hung daintily over a mannequin and accessorized to absolute perfection — the dress you have been dreaming of.  It’s cute, it’s trendy, and the light is hitting it like a freakin’ halo.  You walk over a little too quickly to find it hanging on a rack that practically has your name on it. Seriously, ...

When carrying out our daily routines, we do many tasks mindlessly, never stopping to wonder if perhaps there is a faster, easier, or better way.  After all, it has become routine for a reason; that’s just the way it’s always done.  Unfortunately though, our wellness routines are usually a lot of work!  Let’s face it: looking, feeling...

Being in a sorority is an amazing experience, but getting into one can be overwhelming and nerve-wracking.  As well-meaning as it is when people say not to stress it, you can’t help but to worry a little throughout the process.  The good news, however, is that there are plenty of ways to make your rush process both enjoyable and successfu...

April showers bring May flowers, and spring brings...fun new shoes!  Now that the snow has finally melted, it’s time to pack away your boring winter boots and bring out some cute, comfy styles to help you transition into warmer, happier days.  If you’re anything like me though, finding the perfect style for ever-changing spring weather po...

I will be the first to admit it: I’m a foodie.  If I’m not already eating, I’m thinking about what I will eat next.  And if I’m not already planning what I will eat next, I’m seeking out new recipes and restaurants for later.  That is where Instagram comes in!  Sure, the ‘Food Network’ and Pinterest have some great photographic ...

I’ve always considered my friends to be an important part of my life.  Whenever someone asks me what I like to do for fun, my immediate response is, ‘hang out with my friends.’  When I’m not with them, I'm constantly writing in our text group chats, sending goofy Snapchat photos, and taking mental notes of events throughout the day that I...

It’s back - the most dreaded time of the year.  A time when the sky is never truly blue, and the wind makes your face feel like it might fall off.  It may just be me, but as the temperature drops closer and closer to that zero mark, so does my motivation.  But I’ve learned that while it may be difficult, you shouldn’t stop chasing yo...

Ah yes, Valentine’s Day is back.  Of all the days to wallow in self-pity, Valentine’s Day is by far my favorite.  As if the constant flood of fluffy teddy bears and pink and red heart-shaped chocolate boxes lining the store window displays weren’t enough, the shift from a regular amount of love songs (which, let me mention, is already a L...

As young adults, we know that first impressions can mean the difference between getting offered the job of our dreams and yet another night spent searching online instead of binge watching Grey’s Anatomy.  But what we often fail to realize is that before we even get on the phone or meet face-to-face with an employer, he or she has already form...

It’s that time of year again: the malls are decked with holiday décor, the radio has Mariah Carey on repeat, and New Year’s Eve is getting closer and closer, leaving you to wonder where all the time went, and more importantly, what happened to all those goals you swore you’d reach when the clock struck midnight last year.  Let’s face it, New Y...

Social media is an important tool: it’s an important tool for connecting you to distant family and long-lost friends; it’s an important tool for sharing memories, for collecting news, and for keeping your closest friends up to date.  Yet, though it's sometimes hard to believe, social media is not an important tool for determining your happines...

Every girl knows the struggle of standing in front of a closet full of clothes and thinking ‘I have NOTHING to wear.’  By the middle of the season, it seems like every single item you own is tired and boring, making simple things like getting ready to go grocery shopping a pain.  But unless you win the lottery tomorrow, starting a new war...

Finding the perfect job is a lot like finding the perfect boyfriend: You have a vision in your head of what he looks like, a list of qualities you imagine him to have, and a bubbly feeling of overwhelming satisfaction that hits when you realize ‘this is it, this is the one.’  Yet, like finding the man of your dreams, finding the perfect job re...
