I’m hoping to be back to normal tomorrow. I’ve been sick for a week. What I wouldn’t give for a clone, or to feel better, either or.

1) Why are business cards still a thing?

3) Refinery29 has tips on how to get your financial life in order, quickly.
4) Looking for basic sweaters? Ann Taylor offers this simple v-neck and this sleek open cardigan. Both come in a variety of colors.

9) Levo League offers some tips on making an interim position a full-time gig.

Eye Candy. This Tod’s teal satchel is to.die.for. For a more affordable alternative, try this $99 Palermo leather satchel.

I knew Jake Brewer a bit through work though had never met his wife. His sudden demise is a shock to friends and family and a big loss to the social sector.
I make notations for follow-ups and cues for remembering contacts on the back of business cards collected during conferences so that I can follow up easily back in the office. (They are then discarded) This is impossible on the Glossy/double-sided business cards, those are the worst.
The link that is supposed to go to the nailpolish links to the Sam Edelman flat. Can you fix it, please? Thanks!
Fixed.
LOVE the quote of the day. I’m a pleaser and nearly kill myself several times a month to ensure everything happens as planned, so its a good reminder 🙂
Deborah Lippmann nail polish set link is for the flats mentioned above. Could you provide the link? Thanks!!
Fixed.
I knew I should have bought those Sam Edelman flats during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale…. (although they appear to only be $80 right now!). Love them.
That post on Americans giving up on getting rich… the one thing I noticed is that they’re all following their passions – dance, writing, art, music, modeling … but those jobs typically pay next to nothing, so perhaps the video polled those who are not in the majority who are struggling in minimum wage jobs at The Gap and can’t obtain any other better job
Or maybe it is indicative of my generation that we follow our dreams, bills be damned.
Either way, it was kind of sad. I just hope they all say the same things in 10, 20, 30 years when it is time to retire and they have nothing saved and mounting medical bills.
