Give Yourself a 30 Day Challenge

Feel like your stuck in a rut? Try implementing a 30 day challenge. Turns out that 30 days is just the right amount of time to add a (good) habit or subtract a (bad) one.


Matt Cutts, who works for the Search Quality group at Google, specializing in search engine optimization issues, gave a TED talk in which he describes how these short-term challenges have such benefits as time becoming more memorable and increased self-confidence.


Watch Cutts' talk here and then go ahead and write that novel, practise yoga, floss your teeth, or commit to any other challenge, big or small, for the next month!

If the Skirt Fits

There's a new study out that has found a woman who wears a skirt suit tends to stand out more than her  female counterpart wearing a pants suit. In Why skirts are good for your career, Renee Sylvestre-Williams reports on the findings, and speaks to Human Resources expert Sarah Paul who comments that a woman "wearing a skirt and dressing in an overtly feminine way elicits personality characteristics more often demonstrated by women... support, empathy, sensitivity... which are all desirable traits of a leader in today's workplace."

So, the next time you're shopping for a new work ensemble, consider adding a stylish skirt and suit combo to your professional wardrobe.

True Colours

Summer may have come and gone, but it doesn't mean we have to get rid of bright and bold colours completely. The CND Primaries—Bicycle Yellow, Relay Red and Anchor Blue—are three colours we've been using to dress up our nails this fall. We especially love wearing these vibrant shades with neutral-coloured clothing so that our nails can be in the spotlight. Adding this splash of colour to our toned-down look definitely gets us in the mood for a fun-filled autumn!
