    [ad_1] Even though I’ve written posts on zero-waste cleaning products and green cleaning products that actually work, it’s still so easy for me to use too many paper towels. We use both paper napkins and cloth napkins at home, and I recently switched to these reusable makeup pads from Paula’s Choice — and now we…

  • Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Crepe Long Blazer

    [ad_1] Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

  • The Right Way to Take a Mental Health Day

    [ad_1] What is the “right way” to take a mental health day? I’ve seen a LOT in popular media lately that I’m having kneejerk reactions to as NOPE, but I’m not sure the “old” way to take a mental health day is correct either. So let’s discuss. To back up a bit: we already discussed…

  • Coffee Break: Curl Book – Corporette.com

    [ad_1] My mind was recently blown when I realized there are hair diary apps out there — so here’s my Curl Book review. First, as someone with curly hair, I’ve tried to keep track of my hair products before. About 13 years ago I would try to write my products on a Post-It and take…

  • Weekend Open Thread – Corporette.com

    [ad_1] Oooh: Nordstrom has a bunch of new markdowns in their early Black Friday sale that they just started. I wonder if we’ll see a ton of early sales due to concerns about the supply chain and so forth? I have like four pairs of lug-sole boots in my cart right now, and I’m also…

    [ad_1] Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

  • Coffee Break: Katlin Tote – Corporette.com

    [ad_1] Ooooh: I love this minimal tote from Boss. I generally prefer a zipper on the top of bags, but the magnetic snap closure is a close second. I also love the flat base (though I wish it had feet, but maybe that’s me). At 13.5″w x 11″h x 6’D it’s kind of the perfect…
