Despite the fact that I own a VAIO laptop (2 years old), a MacBook (1.25 years old) and a self-built tricked out desktop PC (a whopping FIVE years old), I just ordered a new laptop. Yes, I know, I need to belong to Techies Anonymous, or something, but for me, a new laptop is much […]
Every day I see ads that I find borderline insulting or irresponsible (particularly in their depiction of women). Now we can go on a tirade about how women “buy into” the notion that they have to be physically perfect and perpetuate the ideal, but for now I want to direct you to a site I […]
Spring welcomes Aries and the renewing of the astrological cycle. The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is a passionate defender of the self and fueled by the element of fire. It’s basically all about getting sh*t done. After surviving two personally tumultuous months, I’m ready for some kick-ass Aries energy. In February the erratic […]
For those of you wanting to read something a little spicy….or a little romantic….take a few moments to check out Pink Nighties.
What will you find there? First of all, it’s really pretty to look at. Lorissa handled the design and development, and ATG’s Rebbecca Wachtel provided the cover art. But looks aren’t […]
So, I’m not quite sure what I think of this site yet. Taaz.com is a new site where you can upload your photo and, using a variety of Flash image editing tools, apply different hairstyles and make-up looks to your picture. As a woman who does wear make-up, but pretty minimally, and really has […]
I’ll confess that I text on my cell phone. Last month, 900 text messages went to and from my cell phone. After my divorce, I became acquainted with a whole new world of text messaging. I’ve used text messages to notify clients of an upcoming meeting, to let my daughter know I’ll […]
I recently had the pleasure of reading Lauren Henderson’s latest novel, Kiss Me Kill Me, which represents the author’s first foray into the world of YA (Young Adult) fiction. Her previous work includes the non-fiction book Jane Austen’s Guide to Dating, three chick-lit novels, and a series of sex-positive mystery novels in a genre she […]
Last month I talked about resources for women business owners and entrepreneurs. I mentioned a new book by Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears, The Boss of You. Well, there is now a sample chapter for you to download to get a real feel for what the book has to offer. From the introduction:
“You’ve got an […]
I don’t know what it is about me, but I’ve never been one of those girls that can create good hair. My sister always has great hair. For as long as I can remember, she has looked polished and poised with salon perfect hair. I see women at the gym […]
My husband I got married on a Friday in Lent thirteen years ago, but this year our anniversary is Easter Monday. Spring in my single days was marked by the lessening of rain (because I grew up in Northern California, where it rains in Winter), and the baring of legs. In our office, pantyhose were […]
Ever since I was a little girl, spring has been my favorite season. When I was a little girl, I would eagerly look for the signs that the dreary days were truly going to become warmer and brighter.
St. Patrick’s Day was always one of the milestones. I would eagerly don an outfit […]
I’ve touched on the topic of women not being “seen” on the web before and now I am chuffed to see that The Next Web blog is taking up the challenge of finding 100 female tech and web heroes. If you know of someone who would fit this bill perfectly, leave a comment on their […]
Ladies they did all the hard work. Your man searched high and low for that perfect gift in the weeks running up to Valentine’s Day. They planned the perfect night out or in, brought in good wine and flowers and treated you like the princess you know you are. Well now men have a special […]
Really, my piece should be titled “The Shaping of a Progressive” because when I was seven, eight, nine, I used to be the one who got to check the mail, and that meant I was the first person in the house to read my mother’s Ms.
I know she had a lot of conversations with herself […]
When thinking of Deb’s challenge about who influenced us, I suddenly remembered as a child of about eight, my fascination with a book about Florence Nightingale. She led the way for women and shaped the future of nursing because she had the courage to live by what she thought was right. She also saw people […]
At 9 weeks pregnant and having just finished reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See, I find myself contemplating International Women’s Day from the perspective of a woman in transition. Ms. See’s novel takes the reader into 19th century rural China where women are merely the property of men and their […]
