What the Kell?

Kristin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:55:07 +0000

So, I’m sure many of you do not religiously watch Bravo like I do… but stay with me on this one. Bravo’s newest TV show “Kell on Earth” follows Kelly Cutrone and her minions at People’s Revolution in the fast-paced world of fashion public relations.

Cutrone is cut-throat and intimidating as hell, and infamous for the [...]

Moment of Zen

Kristin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:21:59 +0000

Even for a Monday, today was quite the crazy day. Between meetings, tight deadlines, prepping for being out of town (and out of touch) this weekend and sharing my big news – the day felt consistently frantic.

Thank goodness for inventions like Pandora.com because tuning into my “You’re My Home” station helps to bring everything back [...]

Sharing News in the 21st Century

Kristin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:03:52 +0000

Well, as many people know… I am recently (very recently) engaged. The past 24 hours have been exciting, happy, busy and overwhelming. Wisely, I waited until the next morning to start sharing the news with family and friends. This is, by far, the biggest news I have ever had to share with so many people [...]

While doing some quick research on Facebook Causes for a client, I was greeted by a lovely advertisement from Facebook.

I’m not sure how Facebook determined that I was about to turn 36, when I am in fact about to turn 24. (March 20, mark your calendars).

I have decided that this might be worse [...]

WMSTMA: Politics

Kristin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:59:17 +0000

Next post in the series… What my Sorority taught me about: [FILL IN THE BLANK]”

Today, Politics.

Through various collegiate and professional experiences, I have become more and more exposed to (and interested in) politics. Attending college during the 2004 Presidential election (also being the first where I could vote) opened my eyes to the conflicts that [...]

WMSTMA: Networking

Kristin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:48:01 +0000

My first in a probable series of “What my Sorority taught me about: [fill in the blank].”

Today, NETWORKING.

The concept of meeting new people, is a frightening one to me. I become increasingly awkward, horrible at small talk and shy when in situations where I don’t know anyone. One of my many professional goals for 2010 [...]
