Fiance eats all the Wedding Cakes, this is a good sign

Is that time of the year, holidays are coming and what does that mean, my family (well, the women in my family) gets together for a day to show our own side of domestic godessness.

I have come to accept that I should never decorate a sugar cookie-there was and still is a reason I was not an arts major. However, I am a damn good dough maker and baker.

One way I know this is that only 3 days after making Mexican Wedding Cakes, the entire bucket is gone. I think its a good sign, my fiance devoured them. All good karma.

So at least he'll love my baking and the fact they are called Wedding Cakes is just the added bonus.

My New Favorite Snack: Winky Gel Bites

Image
I'm on my quest to get back into shape to look great on my wedding day. Since I'm working a ton of hours and planning the final details of my wedding, eating healthy tends to be a struggle (there's just no time). So when I discover a great find, I just have to tell you about it. Everyone knows jello is low in calories and fat and overall a pretty good snack. My problem with jello: -I don't take the time to make it and use multiple Tupperware containers that will then have to be washed -The jello cups that you can purchase aren't enough sometimes and then I ended up eating 2-3. That gets expensive. My new solution: Winky's Gel Bites . At just $1.65/bag(which is resealable), you get three one-half cup servings of jello bites. They taste great, are convenient, and you can eat the whole bag for only 45 calories. And eating the whole bag won't be hard, I'm eating them as I write. For those on Weight Watchers, that's only 1 point. Check t...

Lessons Learned from Twitter Chats

Over the last two years, I have been the co-moderator of #careerchat on Twitter.  We originally started the chat to help professional manage their career better.  Like any involvement in an online community, you can go in with one idea but you have to be open to the community driving what they are really looking for.  Over time, the community of users participating evolved more to industry experts and other career coaches. Is this a failure or just the community driving their needs? By reaching career coaches, university career services departments, and other career services companies, aren't we ultimately reaching our target population.  It's very hard to quantify brand growth through the use of social media tools, but the latest numbers from TweetReach.com provide a compelling argument that the exposure may be worth the investment of one hour over lunch. Reached 29,052 people via 50 tweets  Exposure: 57,442 Impressions

5 Steps Overcoming Frustrations With Your Work and Life

Image
Lately, I've been getting restless at work. Am I in the right place? Are the things that challenge me the right things? Over the last week or so, I spent some time evaluating where I am and where I want to go. The process, which I have to say has been a surprise to me, has re-energized me and helped me completely appreciate everything where I am. I'm not a sappy person who "found the light." But, I did find that I'm where I'm supposed to be, at least for now. Here's My 5 Step Process To "Enlightenment": Inventory. Think about what your happy with and more importantly what's driving you crazy. Identify what you can change and what you can't. Sounds easy right? But this is actually the hardest part. You need to make sure that if you are attempting change within your job and company that it will be accepted and appreciated by your manager and your coworkers. If you're making change at home and you're married; you better be talki...
