How to spot a toxic office culture before taking the job. (Fast Company)

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of being ‘chosen’ for a job, but smart job seekers know that they’re not the only ones auditioning.  It’s just as important to search your potential employer for red flags.  Few things are as awful is when you great new job turns into a nightmare.

3) Just restocked my MM LaFleur sticky notes and to-do list pad. Love these!

4) What’s your retail ‘flinch point’? (Racked)

5) BR’s raspberry cropped jacket and pleated tie-neck blouse caught my eye.

6) How to know if it’s time to take a pause to raise a family. (Quartz)

7) These CosRX pimple pads have virtually eliminated my blackheads.

8) The Best Looks from Bridal Fashion Week (because why not). (Marie Claire)

9) I think I need this photograph for my office. It’s so pretty and calming.

The Daily Ws.

What I’m Making for Dinner. Harvest Stew with Sausage.

What I’m Lusting After. This $$$ serum, I mean, if Victoria says it’s the best…

What I’m Watching. The Disappearance of Maura Murray. Totally addicted.

Instagram of the Day.

    Ugh I feel that way about the Vintner’s Daughter serum. Can anyone tell me it’s not worth the money so I stop lusting after it?

      Do it! My skin is so hydrated and looks so dewy/luminous after two months of use. I was able to snag an almost full bottle off of Poshmark at a discount. Worth keeping your eyes peeled on there and maybe eBay?

  2. CatHerine says:

    Thanks so much for sharing. We’re flattered!

  3. SC says:

    I don’t like the color (or the material) on the Boss suit, but the detailing is truly amazing. It would look absolutely smashing in a charcoal gray with a sleeker zip.

  4. Margaret A Peterson says:

    That Hugo Boss suit is AMAZING. Obsessed. Obsessed enough to walk over the the City Center store right now to see it.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
