Despite San Francisco’s chilly temps, a girl still has to get in the mood for summer. I’ve got the summer glow, but I realized I still needed to smell summery. While I’ve never been a citrus girl, a recent visit to Bath & Body works made me rethink that position. I tried on C.O. Bigelow® [...]

Yo Mama’s New Shoe
My poor mother called yesterday to tell me the podiatrist diagnosed her with a degenerative joint disease in her big left toe. She apparently had a a spur on it and somehow recently cracked the bone. Now mom has to wear a boot to immobilize it for 2 weeks, and if it doesn’t work she’ll [...]

Storytelling contest
My friend and colleague over at CasaCaudill posted about a great contest her client, Fuze Meeting, is putting on. Like Becky, I rarely post about work (especially about clients) but this was too good to ignore. Why, you ask? Reason # 1 – the contest seeks your best story (in 30 slides or less). Reason [...]

Congrats to Bethany and Trevor
On Saturday, May 23 yet another friend tied the knot. Bethany and I were roommates when she first moved to the city from Santa Barbara. Bethany had just met Trevor at that time (2005) and throughout the years I have seen them date, become more serious, eventually (last August) get engaged – and finally marry. [...]

Today some SHIFTers and I volunteered at Project Open Hand. They’ve been around since 1985 serving warm meals to those home bound due to critical illnesses, HIV, cancer or old age. They also have an on-site grocery store to provide their mobile clients with free meals during the week. By going to the actual facility, [...]

Beauty is pain
Today’s Shopaholic’s Daily Calendar entry resonates with me. Sometimes women suffer in the name of fashion. I mean, not all of my 4″ heels are incredibly comfortable – but damn they’re cute. So long as it looks good, I will make it work for me. I don’t mind being uncomfortable, but that’s because I love [...]

Loving her look
I’m loving yellow this season – mustards, goldenrods, even more muted yellow tones are catching my eye this season. So when I found this photo of LC from The Hills, I knew this one would end up in the style file. Personally, I love LC’s style – she always looks put together and doesn’t ever [...]

Talking ’bout my reputation
Today I found a Deloitte LLP survey on use of social networks and how it affects the workplace. The survey found: 60% of employers felt they had a right to know how their employees are portraying the company on social networks. 53% of employees felt that they should be able to discuss what they want [...]
