12 Random Summertime Things to Do

Summer, my fave season, is raging. July is here and there are so many cool, literally and figuratively, things yet to do. Long days bring neighbors out to sit on the stoop, sip wine and chat. For some the doldrums are setting in. Here're are 12 random things to do.

Catch fireflies.

Lie on your back and look at the night sky.

Go swimming or at least wade in the water.

Eat a picnic lunch during your work day under a shady tree.

Say NO.

Wear your funnest summer outfit.

Take a day trip to a new place.

Eat food you haven't tasted before.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the stoop with a neighbor.

Turn your Balckberry/I-phone off for 30 minutes.

Go barefoot in fresh cut grass.

Smile and wave at a stranger.

Creating an A+ Image in a D- Economy

The Smart Woman's Club event Creating an A+ Image in a D- Economy was loaded with fun, smart women and tips for looking good and professional to make more money, have a better career and be taken seriously. Don't leave out increasing confidence and self esteem.
Here are some tips for your professional image from Suzanne Tongue with Style Capital (www.stylecapital.co.uk).

Clothes should fit immaculately. If you’re curvy, fabrics should lightly follow your curves, not cling or look stiff/boxy.

Think about whether bare legs are appropriate in your corporate culture/for your position.

Clothes should be neat, pressed, clean and repaired.

Sleeveless tops can detract from professionalism – they need to fit perfectly, be of superb quality and have a ‘third’ piece.

Accessories (belts, pens, handbags, watches, eyeglasses, jewelry, even umbrellas) add polish to business casual. So does makeup.

Shoes make or break. Even if casual, keep them polished, clean and beautiful.

No printed T-shirts. Ever!

And finally –do you really want to wear jeans to work?
