Note: First, this blog post was written on Girlsonit.com back in March. Second, I have not taken the time to read Susan Cain's book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts, however, I feel compelled to discuss her TED talk on the subject matter.

Presenting yourself is everything when it comes to landing a job. This starts with your resume and ends with a hand-written, thank you note after your initial interview.

I think everyone, both men and women, struggle with understanding and appreciating the value of themselves when it comes to their careers or their relationships. However, I feel women struggle with this at a much deeper level.

First, what is Endometriosis? "Endometriosis (from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is...

At the start of this year while en route for my big move to Sao Paulo, I picked up the latest issue of The Economist. How could I not when the cover story was "We Did It - What Happens When Women are Over Half the Workforce". The article was...

My goal when I first starting writing for the Huffington Post was to write about what was happening in the Beauty industry (as well as time-to-time the Fashion and Publishing industries) in terms of their lack of embracing social media. I wanted to write on a bi-weekly basis, because there...

Fashionista.com first reported on Friday, April 3rd that Stila Cosmetics might be going bankrupt. I nearly fell off my chair. Of all the makeup brands out there, Stila is in trouble!? It can't be true, I thought. When I went to their site, they had a temporary page that said,...
