6) Hair color feeling flat?  Try this dpHue Color Boosting Gloss to give it new life.

7) The science behind ‘I told you so,’ or why we’re better at making decisions for other people. (Fast Company)

8) This Splendid Willamette Weekender makes a great summer beach bag, office gym bag, or travel bag.  For something more professional, try this Miah Structured Weekender.

9) Four s***ty work situations that get better when you speak up for yourself. (Marie Claire)

10) This coral ASOS Collection Wiggle dress is a fun choice for the office.  I also like this Uttam ponte shift in kelly green.  Plus-size?  This ASOS Curve Midi-Wiggle dress in pistachio is really pretty.

12) Need to jazz up your summer dresses?  This Delicate Teardrop Frost Strand and this turquoise and quartz Stevie Y Chain.

I’ve stopped subscribing to some career sites that make me think that if I haven’t attained total job nirvana within 6 months, I need to find another one.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
