Waxing UnLyrical

For the past few months, my friend Ryan has been managing a boutique in a nearby shopping center called Apricot Lane. I know 80-90% of the stores in this area are out of my price range and, because they are so expensive, their typical customers are more likely to be women in my mom’s age group. I assumed that Apricot Lane was another boutique with clothes for women older than myself.

If you didn’t know I was a Chobani brand ambassador … well, I am. So let me get that out of the way right at the start. I am occasionally am paid in yogurt. Seriously. What a deal, for both of us!

One of the most fascinating stories to come out in the news recently—at least to me—was that of the discovery of Richard III’s remains. Even if you didn’t pay attention to the story, you probably remember hearing about it; that his remains were found under what is now a parking lot. It caused quite a stir , not just among Ricardians, who are apparently represented by a few major societies (the Richard III Society is one), but among the populace at large.

Guest post by Nellie Borrero. For International Women’s Day each year, two things happen. First, Accenture conducts global research on careers to gauge people’s feelings and expectations about work and life. Second, I tend to travel somewhere in the world to meet with our people and celebrate International Women’s Day with them. I love poring over the research as it gives us a glimpse into how people are feeling.
