1) The life cycle of Christmas tree, from farm to house. (Quartz)

3) Does this bankruptcy filing signal trouble for athleisure brands? (Racked)

Thanks for the reality check RE: time management. I’m in India for the next few weeks and convinced myself I should still be ‘productive.’
Love that bonus article. I started a new job in September and during my interview uttered the fateful phrase ‘I pretty much get along with everybody’ which was true, until I met my new coworker who started the same day I did. I’ve never worked with someone so divisive and negative and caustic. People who have worked here for over 5 years are sometimes driven to consider quitting because of this colleague. Luckily our manager is completely aware, because this person is so clueless about how they come off that they don’t even try to hide it. But it doesn’t make it less of a challenge for everyone.
Also, hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Based on your recommendation I bought the sweater dress. I was hoping it was going to go on sale for Nordstrom 1/2 yearly and it didn’t and I bought it any way. It is the best dress ever. It looks amazing on any figure and is the most comfortable thing. I wore it to work today and got like 6 compliments.
Wonderful. I love when that happens.
