Greece is the word
September 2nd, 2010
In Santorini, Greece with Jenn in a very beautiful couple-oriented kinda resort. Curious why all these newlywed women would allow their husbands to swim up and chat with us, we soon discovered we’re known as the “lesbian couple”. Jenn dispelled the myth by explaining we’re here as childhood best friends celebrating [...]
Suits & Salads
August 25th, 2010
In Florida for events this week and holy humidity… I thought New York was bad! As a complement to our evening events at The Limited, we’ve launched our second kind of soiree, Suits & Salads. Guests can pop in over their lunch hour and shop, mingle, and grab free lunch to go! Today was our [...]
Road Rash
August 20th, 2010
I wasn’t sure if I was going to bother to mention it, but seeing as Michelle (our Content Manager) just walked in and hesitantly asked if I tripped, fell and skidded across pavement…on both sides of my face, I’m going to fess up. On Monday morning I had a little laser peel on my face [...]
Where was your first?
August 4th, 2010
A part of why I love careers so much is that my first job was the bomb. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea and I would have preferred it if I didn’t have to wear a brown polyester uniform, but working at the local supermarket’s deli after school was a serious highlight of my career. [...]
The Essence of Essence?
July 29th, 2010
I was intrigued by this headline on CNN today: “The editor of Essence Magazine defended Wednesday her recent hiring of a white fashion director—a first for the 40-year-old publication that celebrates black women.”
Angela Burt-Murray, the editor-in-chief, said “I got to see firsthand her creativity, her vision, the positive reader response to her work, and her [...]

Two of my favorite people, Douglas Ross and Alex Baskin, have produced a new reality show you have to catch on Tuesdays! Growing Up Twisted follows the life and family of Dee Snider, lead singer of 80’s metal band, Twisted Sister. Check out the preview here. Who knew one of Rock’s loudest screamers could be [...]
A Letter to Lindsay…
July 21st, 2010
Dear Ms. Lohan,
Yes, life has been troublesome as of late (ok, as of 2005, right around the time your Mean Girls glimmer started to dim), but I want you to know there’s hope. As a career expert, I’ve seen many a talented woman reinvent their lives and reputations after even the most embarrassing charades. Forget [...]
Nita Getaway?
July 14th, 2010
Those of you who know me have either had the pleasure of meeting or have heard me bandy about the name, Praveen Varshney.
Praveen, my very first investor, is an example of networking with anyone and everyone (he was my neighbor in Vancouver), as well as how entrepreneurial success comes from the integration of risk taking [...]
