Here I am, 4.30pm on a Wednesday afternoon, 32 years of age and propping up a bar in Stamford, CT. I look around and there’s plenty of men, doing the same as me, drinking alone, yet I’m the one getting the ‘what’s your story’ looks.
Before you judge me let me explain why I’m here.
Five weeks ago on Friday, I became an expat. I moved from my home of London, England to Connecticut. The catalyst for the move? My husband’s job. He has worked for the same company for seven years and they recently offered him a transfer to the US.
Saw this on Instagram, loved, and had to share.
‘Cuz I think this is a universal struggle. Actually, a daily on the fence dilemma. We all wanna look great, but we all (mostly all), love to eat!
As I once read,
Everyday I struggle between, “I want to look good naked” and “Treat ‘Yo Self!”
Hit 40 this year, and the struggle is real.
My son was blue, limp, lifeless, silent… essentially dead. And then in five moments of interminable chaos, stress, hysteria and prayer, my daughter and I brought him back to life.
“The Lancôme woman is graceful and timeless, a beautiful and empowered women.” Julia Roberts
“When you look at the women who have represented Lancôme, their beauty penetrates to a deeper level, an emotional level, as opposed to just being about the façade.” Kate Winslet
“Lancôme is like an homage to all women.” Penélope Cruz
“Lancôme celebrates beauty of all backgrounds. Its ambassadors are all individual women whose beauty goes way beyond skin-deep.” Lupita Nyong’o
“Lancôme is class, elegance, grace, but also beauty that comes from within.” Lily Collins
Please note, I received special permission from Sheryl Sandberg to share her important message with…
Being superwoman isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, is it? Between work, taking care of the house, the children and white knuckling the last threads of your social life, doing it all means you probably have a lack luster sex life. By the end of the day, any sex, let alone adventurous sex, isn’t even a remote possibility.
I saw this on Twitter last week and saved it for today’s Motivation Monday. It literally gave me goosebumps. For anyone who has ever tried, failed, overcome and tested their resilience to the nth degree, this one is for you today. For anyone who is trying, failing, overcoming, and testing your resilience to the nth degree, this one is also for you.
It is an except from Jon Gordon’s new book The Carpenter.
“They think I became an overnight success. But I tell them, there is no such thing as an overnight success. The way to success is to work really hard for years. You show up every day. You do the work. You see yourself as an artist dedicated to your craft with a desire to get better every day. You put your heart and soul into your work as you strive for excellence. You desire to create perfection, knowing you’ll never truly achieve it but hoping to get close to it. You try new things. You fail. You improve. You grow. You face countless challenges and tons of rejection that make you doubt yourself and cause you to want to quit. But you don’t. You keep working hard, stay positive, and persevere through it all with resilience, determination, and a lot of hope and faith. Then you make it! Everyone wants to work with you and the world says ‘Where have you been?’ And you say ‘I’ve been here all along, and hopefully getting better day by day.’ To the world, you are an overnight success. To you, the journey continues. You’re a craftsman who wants to make your next work of art your best work no matter what you have accomplished in the past.
Summer is officially around the corner, and whether you’re a working girl or stay-at-home mom, here are some summer fashion trends that you might like to wear this upcoming season. I am LOVING some of these cool summer fashion trends! Summer is my favorite season. I’m not on the fence here… the are some HOT looks!
On this week’s Global TV segment, I shared five great summer reads. In the fall, I had included something for every woman: fiction, non-fiction, laugh-out-loud funny, witty, heartwarming, and a heart-pounding thriller. For the summer though, I kept it a little lighter. We don’t have to be serious ALL THE TIME. 😉 Sometimes it’s okay for Calgon to take us away.
Here is the segment on five great beach reads. As you can see, I wouldn’t do well in a book club. It takes me 9 months to read one book.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
