This Week

Vacation is over, and we’re flying back home to NYC today.  This trip, while trying at times, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything.  Also, the incredible pleasure of flying Asiana Airlines (confession – in first class, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of miles amassed in 2012) made the trip home a lot easier.  But that’s a story for another day.

Highlights of the week - coming home, attending a dinner hosted by the governor of Iowa (seriously blessed), and getting back in my normal routine.  The lowlights – forking over cash for a new phone.  *gulp*

Some links I loved from this week:

  • This book could not have been published at a better time.  I can’t wait to jump into this exercise program!
  • I never was a huge Carrie Bradshaw fan (I was all about Miranda and Samantha), and I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt this way.
  • New addition to the Girl Crush Club – Rashida Jones.  This article – it’s everything.
  • So buying this Molton Brown travel set – I’ve missed my MB goodies on this trip.  (Hint – it makes a great gift too!)
  • Get to know the new woman leading GM, Mary Barra.  STEM chicks (she’s an electrical engineer) FTW.
  • I loved these productivity tips – a timely read as I enter the end-of-year crunch.

What’s new with you this week?  Any fun plans this weekend?  Leave a comment and let me know.

And if you haven’t already, be sure to enter my Hudson+Bleecker giveaway – it ends Friday!
