Clothes at Work

Though I would recommend longer sleeves and a slightly looser fit (bareness and form-revealing clothes are signs of submission), this is an otherwise excellent article from the New York Post. It touches points not usually realized.

Admittedly, women have made great strides towards equality when it comes to where we stand (or sit) in the workplace. For the first time in history, the gender pay gap is at an all-time low and we’…

Great article in Forbes about "mansplaining."

Nice.

Welcome to a truly gentle way to welcome back your healthy movement, healing, strength and joint mobility.
So many people believe that aging or injury means to physically decline that they kind of just give up. I know as much as anyone how it feels to be less mobile than one would like. When I was younger, I was partially paralyzed for 2 years. I was too weak to move, and certainly could not do any of the healthy workouts people suggested. Even what others called "Beginner Yoga" was way beyond me! It took me over a decade to strengthen to the point where I could become a yoga and anatomy expert, as well as a fitness teacher. I then traveled the world teaching people of any and all levels how to access their ability to grow in strength, flexibility, and stamina--no matter what their fitness level.

Robert Mueller's clothes signal exactly who he is and what he needs to say. I'm awed.

It's not just clothes @ work. It's also body language at work! This is amazing information. If you don't use it already, please try it. (And let me know how it worked!)

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an i…

Fabulous article. Do you agree with her list? (I do!)

There are a lot of annoying things about being a woman, like periods, childbirth and not being able to play basketball in a way that keeps spectators awake. But near the top of the list has got to be buying clothes.

Signature Style really is genius.

For as long as I can remember, hearing someone do anything “like a girl” was generally an insult, so how do you think it feels when you are an adolescent girl? Pretty insulting, right? Always is trying to change all that with their new commercial , which shines the light on the confidence…
