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.

Agreed, we need to be cognizant of other people's backgrounds, but in the same breath, we so worried about offending people that we can't be ourselves anymore. My boss is Jewish, but shipped Christmas presents to her family the other day, my cousin is agnostic but gives Christmas presents. What's a girl to do? Well, one way to embrace it, celebrate the differences! My first post in the blog talked about how food helps people connect, that couldn't more true during the holidays. When I was 21 and doing a semester in Ho...

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
