Web Time Wasters
How was your week, friends? Like most of you, I spent much of it glued to the news and on the phone with my elected officials. But I also made time for a friend’s 40th birthday party, coffee with friends, and a day at the beach. We have to fill our cup before we can pour from it, right?

How To Feel More Confident + Successful (Without Changing Anything About Your Life)
A few weeks ago, while stuffing our faces with overpriced bread pudding, a friend asked for advice on how to handle a professional kerfuffle. "I'm asking you," she said "because you always seem so confident." "Oh! Ha! Well, I'm glad I've successfully tricked you into thinking that. Ha!" I wanted to say. But that's wildly unhelpful so I resisted the urge to brush off the compliment and did my...

Claire Suellentrop believes eating well + having a really good time need not be mutually exclusive, and helps creative people juggle both at Eat Well. Party Hard. Say hello on Instagram & Twitter! “When are you going to make that cake again?” This question has been asked of me approximately six times since arriving at a party last night with this German torte in tow.

Forget Reducing Stress – Add More Joy
If you were to rank the humans of the world by their stress levels, I'd probably rank somewhere in the bottom third. I'd be well, well below pilots or event planners and well below mothers. I'm more stressed than a house cat or yoga instructor, but stressed out enough that I've completely given up caffeine and I keep trying (and failing) to meditate. I just sit with my legs crossed and mentally...
