They say college is the best four years of your life. And, for the most part, I believe it. You’re independent, but you’re not completely on your own yet. You don’t have anyone else to worry about besides yourself, and you can focus on your studies and your friends and you.
But there’s a catch (could […]

First, I want to start off by sending out a big congratulations to all chicks about to begin their senior year.

The process of finding a job can be a grueling one.  The endless phone calls, the interviews, finding business appropriate clothing, making sure you’re presenting in the best, most professional light possible.  It’s a lot to think about and can be somewhat daunting!
But no doubt being the smart and productive chick that you are, you’ll […]

From bra-popping cleavage to ripped pants, fashion offenses take every shape and form in the office. Simply looking good won’t land you the coveted corner office, but what you wear is guaranteed to define your everyday image and even your personality.  
Imagine for a second two attractive and intelligent women who are on the verge […]

You’re dressed in that carefully-chosen outfit you laid out the night before, complete with the four-inch heels that you’re not quite sure you can handle but that will make quite the impression on your fellow employees (you hope).
You’ve got your purse packed to the brim with anything you might potentially need for the day, including […]

In the last year alone, 11.1 million Americans were victims of identity theft. These staggering numbers prove that identity theft can happen to anyone, even those who think they are taking all the right precautions to secure private information.
