Can You Be Successful And Married?

I mean, I always thought so. My mother has been the Vice President of her division of the company she works for for many years now, and has always managed to run our household in a way that continues to amaze me (even if I don’t always show my appreciation, sorry ma!).

Which is why I’m confused by this new study that was conducted by the University of Minnesota. Researchers and conductors of the study have claimed that successful women can only be successful if they’re single.

The study, which consisted of examining the populations of each U.S. state, found that women tend to make more money and have successful careers in areas with a lack of single men. Researchers also found that college women are only ambitious when there’s a lack of available men on campus.

I call bullshit, and laugh at these researchers in Minnesota. What do you ladies think?

Nicki Minaj’s New Line Is… Interesting

I don’t think anyone on the face of this planet (other than her die hard fans) would ever have confidence in Nicki Minaj’s design expertise (or lack there of). She went from wearing $2 camis and fake gold bamboo hoop earrings to being hip hop’s Lady Gaga. Her style certainly is eclectic, and appropriate for [...]

Topshop x Reclaim To Wear

Last summer, Topshop and the eco-friendly, yet cute, label Reclaim To Wear launched an “upcycled” capsule collection, which was created from the reuse of discarded materials. Surprisingly, the line was a complete success. Pair that with Topshop’s continuous efforts to address design waste, and you have the recipe for the inspiration to launch a second [...]

Your Ex Isn’t Going To Apologize, So Move On

We’re told that when we are little we have to say sorry for our wrongdoings and bad decisions. That when we hurt someone’s feelings, we owe them an apology, unless of course they’re a complete moron, then we all know that it’s perfectly okay to be a bitch. But really though, what ever happened to [...]
