August 5, 2009: Because the phrase ‘Working Mother’ is redundant
Whether applied to parenting, exercise or career, having goals and holding firm to them is critical to success. We are taught to have a clear picture of what we want to achieve, a concise plan to achieve it, and a support system.

Fashion Trend: Good Girls with Bad Nails
With wit and insight, Chrissy Bryant brings us her perspective on a recent trend. “Sometimes I wonder where these trends come from … the excessively padded shoulders, polyester bellbottoms (or just polyester itself), huge scrunchies, acid wash jeans … but recently, I’ve wondered who to blame for black nail polish.” Read more…
