Post BlogHer, I am cleaning out my purse of all the business cards I collected and want to share links of some great women. Check these out.

I’m remembering, a pop culture nostalgia blog. Hillary Buckholtz is someone I have know online via emails and Facebook for years and we finally met at BlogHer.  Yay!

Under the crush of parties and events, I bring you a little something, something.

Every week, I have some things outstanding on my to-do list,  and I have to balance to that with client work, blogging, meetings and events.  Time flies by so fast that a recap is needed just so I remember what happened. Howwever, I am lazy, so it’s best to just give links to the people, places and things related to the week ending October 31.

My new favorite words/terms/quotes : followcost, cloudworker, and “Flat is the new up”.

Earlier this week, I was asked “What are the ten most important thing women, 18 to 34, need to know about to remain culturally relevant.”  I thought about it and here is my list in no particular order. Add your ideas in the comments.

1. Economic Independence: Know that they can pursue their dreams and not starve.
2. Reproductive Rights: Be aware of how that the President appoints judges to the Supreme Court and that reproductive laws can vary from state to state.
3. Being comfortable with your sexuality: whether you are a serial dater, married, single, lesbian, bisexual. Practicing abstinence counts, too.
4. Communicate effectively with grace and like a grown-up. Showing humility with others and stop the baby talk.
5. Read about the world both locally and globally: read books, newspapers, magazines and online media.  Know what is going on in the world around you.
6. Green your life: Be aware of you can be green.  More than recycling.  It is about using less.
7. Being fit: Start now with healthy habits. Walking, running, yoga, going to the gym.
8. Enjoy food: Grown your own. Cook your own meals.
9. Accept yourself: Be confident about your mind and body. Appreciate your mental quirks and physical being.
10. Develop your own personal style: Know what colors and clothes fits your personality and body.
