Do you have that one friend you’ll go to for recommendations on anything? A girl who’s such a great consumer you know she can tell you the best value for the best quality, and the reasons to back it with […]
This word often sparks anger, frustration, annoyance. And, I’d be lying if I said my first interactions with this word didn’t spur images of hairy-arm-pitted women burning bras and man hating. However, over the last few years I’ve been educated […]
My obsession with Fresh Prep started a few months ago… Little did I know, one of the co-founders was Becky Brauer – another woman who silenced her inner critic and took the leap. “Leaving my comfortable corporate job was very […]
When you hear about human trafficking, what comes to mind? If you’re like most, myself included, you imagine a child or teenager being kidnapped, usually in a developing country. This is how it goes down in movies and real-life cop […]
