The Commute: No. 2

Jan 9, 2018

“We used to say, in the suffrage movement, that we could trust the woman who believed in suffrage, but we could never trust the woman who just wanted to vote.” — Jeannette Rankin

It Can Wait. Are you a procrastinator? Learn how to stop delaying with 6 Scientifically Proven Wats to Beat Procrastination.

Pair It Up. This affordable Talbot’s statement necklace with a simple black sweater, understated perfection for any workplace dress code.

(Net)Work-It. Most of us hate the word networking.  How do we do it, and do it well?  How do we get over the stress of asking people for things?  A woman who loves networking (yeah, she cray) answers all your questions to make 2018 the year you learn how to network.

Film Noir. I got a sample of this Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara in a Sephora order, and whoa.  It separates and lengthens like a dream.  I layer it with a coat of Armani Eyes to Kill for the boldest lashes of my life.

Loathsome Chit-Chat. Working in politics involves a lot of small talk, before meetings, at fundraisers, etc..  It’s maddening.  The CEO of Bumble created a small talk formula to help make chit-chat less uncomfortable.

Something Extra. I love pieces that are a little different.  This BCBG top with sheer trim, this rust-colored Endless Rose blouse, and this JOA mock-neck dress all caught my eye.  Did I mention they’re all under-$80?

What I’m Baking. Scallion Pancake Challah Bread.

What I’m Listening To. Million$, a podcast featuring self-made women.

What I’m Reading. Fire and Fury.  All of D.C. is reading it.

    Currently procrastinating reading your blog, only to be busted immediately. Will give the tips a shot, especially #2. Thank you.

    Ha! I also love networking. I love talking to people and learning about who they are and what they do, and making small town name game connections. I have become very good at removing myself from unfortunate conversations without offending the person, which IMO is key!

      You should teach a class on that skill. “Oh you’re wife left you for another woman and now your kids ask you why…” (Conversation I actually had a fundraiser.)

        Jokingly, kind of, “I hope you got them a good therapist! Let me refill this for you.” And then get caught in another convo on the way to the bar 🙂

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth).
