What Women Want

Wow, that's a loaded statement! The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) decided to try and unpack that concept, conducting the largest global study of women ever (12,000 women in 22 countries). The results: "...women are over-extended, over-worked...

Clip or Click for Back-to-School?

It's back-to-school shopping season, and according to a new study conducted on behalf of the Newspaper Association of America, we will be clipping newspaper coupons more so than searching for deals on the Internet. The MORI study reported that 73...

A free trial you'll "Flip" for

Sometimes brands just get it right. They see the intersection of interest and opportunity and capitalize on it in a way that shows they truly understand the people they are trying to reach and what matters to them. A great example is the new Omni Flips...

Dairy Queen and Girl Scouts makes summer sweet for everyone

It seems only fitting that Dairy Queen ® would support an organization that prepares young women to take charge of their destiny by teaching them life-building skills. For the second year in a row the "queen of treats" is offering a Girl...

Grocery shopping patterns are shifting

Last night was our 24th wedding anniversary. We had decided ahead of time not to celebrate until the weekend. My daughter had a summer camp. I had an exercise class after work. My husband needed to pick up the dog from the camp she stayed at over the...

Treat Dad and the gang at A&W this weekend

I distinctly remember how excited I got as a kid when I would peek inside the grocery sack (they were always brown paper then) and see my mom had purchased root beer and vanilla ice cream. It was often on a Friday when we would be having friends over...

Take time to treat yourself today

Even though we are in the middle of a recession, many people are still splurging on the things they find important. Just because the economy is rough doesn't mean you have to miss out on an occasional massage or stop socializing over a meal with friends...

Dell misses mark with women

While I appreciate the fact that Dell felt the need to improve the its marketing outreach to women, I'm not sure their solution did either of us any favors. If you look at the first image above you'll see a screen grab of a microsite created for...

Stretch your budget with statement jewelry

Good news, statement jewelry is a huge trend this season! Adding a bold necklace, chunky earrings or a fun bangle to an otherwise plain outfit can update your look and make you a fashionista for not much money. According to www.fashionising.com some of...

Fat & Fast

I love painted toe nails. I don't love painting them or paying to have them painted (although I splurge on a pedicure every so often). It takes forever for me to paint my size 10 foot toe nails with a brush that looks like it was designed for a Barbie...

Why can't 40 be 40 instead of the new 20?

First of all, let me congratulate Valerie Bertinelli for turning her life around inside and out. I'm proud of her 50 pound weight loss--regardless of her age. What frustrates me is the media flurry it set off (per usual) about why 40 is the new 20...

Modesty makes a comeback just in time for skin-baring season

While I don't relish the idea of giving up an hour of sleep, I do love the fact that we got to "spring forward" this weekend. And where I live it was warm enough to be outside all weekend wearing flip flops and shorts. In fact, lots of people...

Punishment or reward? Which one will make you switch from using plastic bags?

I suppose I live in a plastic bubble because I wasn't aware that if you choose not to have your purchase bagged in a plastic bag at Target Stores you will receive a $.05 discount on your purchase. Now, I wish I could tell you I found this out because...

Things that make you go, hmmm?

“Why do naturally beautiful women promote cosmetics while average looking women promote house cleaning?” asked one of the 40-something women we met with over lunch. Interesting question. If products are meant to fill unmet needs, wouldn’t it make more...
