Facebook has been in the news a lot lately, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
Earlier in May 2011, it emerged that it had hired a very well-known PR agency to plant stories against Google relating to user privacy.
Considering Facebook’s own issues with privacy, this gives the impression that the company is trying to make itself look better by making its competitors look good as opposed to getting its act together. [Read more...]
My name is Leila Levi and I am a feminist.
I wanted to come clean by being upfront with what many millennials see as a “dirty word.†The connotation of being a feminist among young women in 2011 can be of ‘bra burners ‘and ‘man-haters.’ I despise that such a narrow and derogatory view of feminism is expressed so frequently. I call it derogatory because it labels women who are feminists negatively, as if they are screaming stereotypes relegated to the fringes of society. Feminists are in every corner of the globe and come from all walks of life.
Feminism is about equality and civil rights, believes that women are created equal and, with very rare exception, should be treated equally under the law. [Read more...]

Being green is one of those things – like eating healthily – that we all want to do but don’t always get around to. Recycling can be time-consuming, and researching which products are the most eco-friendly or ethically produced takes time that busy women with jobs might not have.
And for the fashion-savvy, the idea of actually wearing your recycling could seem like a step too far, but fear not. A hot new trend from Brazil is transforming humble soda can ring pulls into fashion must-haves, being extensively featured in the fashion press, including Elle Magazine. [Read more...]

All eyes are on Jennifer Lopez right now!
We are watching her every move, from what she wears on American Idol, to her Gillette Venus commercials with her kids and back on with L’oreal.

Our workdays will always be filled with competing priorities, pressing deadlines and emergencies – making it impossible to get everything done. Many of us carry all our unfinished projects or unresolved problems around like monkeys on our backs. Too many monkeys can make it so difficult to concentrate and focus effectively that we can barely get anything accomplished.
Who are the heaviest and loudest monkeys? Usually those that represent unfulfilled commitments or missed deadlines. [Read more...]

Many meetings begin with the pronouncement, “There are no bad ideas.†The intent is to help everyone feel comfortable to share ideas freely.
Without getting into semantics about the use of “good†and “badâ€, I don’t believe it’s incorrect to state unequivocally that there are bad ideas.  Truly, there are a lot of bad ideas. The question is, Why isn’t it OK to say so? What are we afraid of? Can’t we admit that sometimes we might sound stupid?

It use to be, that Hollywood starlets would spend their time on either the silver screen, or in front of the flashing of camera bulbs in order to bring in the big bucks.
