Hola, konichiwa, hiyee! I am leaving for “La Isla del Encanto” tomorrow morning…that’s Puerto Rico, for all you white folks. I was just checking out the weather for this weekend, and apparently PR’s website is: www.gotopuertorico.com -  it couldn’t just be “puertorico.com” but “gotopuertorico”...

The long cold winter is over and spring is here. We have fought our way out of the frost of the global financial crisis into an economic spring. The recession has been predicted to mainly effect the younger generation – Generation Y. But how much of the impact are we going to have to absorb? As a generation...

It has a lifespan of up to seven years and is one of the fastest growing tissues in the human body. Redheads have the least of it, blondes the most. What is it…? You guessed it… I’m talking about hair. Some people still underestimate how much your hair and hairdo says about you. It...

The term ‘Friend’ on Facebook is at best liberal. Often the absolute opposite from anything you would consider close to the truth. That unfortunate ex, the girl who used to bully you, random cartoon characters, your weird cousin, the guy who you only met once… in a club… with several other people,...

Soldier, Sailor, Carpenter, Plumber…  All these jobs are conventionally set aside for the men. If that’s still the case, what were our grandmothers burning their bras for? Women have always fought for as much money as their male counterparts but often there is the double blow that conventional...

Hello people. I hope your Monday is starting off great and not like this : -  it’s time to move on if it is! My boss forwarded me an email from a chick looking for a sales job. After reviewing her resume (which included a picture), I wasn’t quite sure what she was in the market of selling. She...

With summer approaching fast it is only natural that we are getting more and more stressed out about whether we will look fab on the beach in our favourite bikini this year or not. Cellulite dimples being one of the main reasons, if not THE number one concern for every woman out there. Even the slightest...

Yeah yeah, the pressure’s off – now, I’m just calling this, “The Cheese.” Some days you’ll get it and some days, you won’t. There’s lots to report, so let’s get to it! 1. Sad news first…Pro-Wrestler Captain Lou Albano passed away yesterday; he was 76. We don’t know how he...

There is no use in denying it: we all know that fruit and vegetables are good for us. And it is not like they taste like cod liver oil – on the contrary, most fruit and vegetables actually taste quite good. Nevertheless, it still seems like we never seem to follow the doctor’s advice of having five...

It gets easier and safer to travel the world as a woman with every decade that passes. However, any female globetrotters out there, who know their stuff, will always have enough money to get a cab, train or dalla-dalla out of a threatening environment. So what happens when you’re strapped for cash? ...

The corporate world can be an overwhelming and intimidating place. Female entrepreneurs can easily feel lost and intimidated in a new industry or business venture. Luckily, Women’s Network Australia (WNA) is a great outlet for networking and funding events for fellow women business entrepreneurs...

Poker is no longer solely for the fellas. In fact, some of the most famous and successful players on the pro poker circuit are women. Which shouldn’t really come as a surprise given that poker — a game that calls for nerve and skill rather than size, speed or strength — is one of the...

Maybe I should rename this “The Weekly Cheese” – I am consistently inconsistent on getting this out! My apologies.  Although, what a way to break up a hump day, right? Most of today’s Cheese is sad Cheese – but it goes to show… there’s always someone who has it a lot worse than you...

Is your budget a little strained? Has the current economic situation taken its toll? Have you blown your savings on a home reno? You are not alone! Many people go through periods of economic hardship, and it’s at such times when we need to look at everyday ways to scrimp and save. One of the...

The global financial crisis (GFC) has dominated the news for the last year, and while Australians look to have been spared the worse of it, some areas of the economy have certainly suffered and unemployment has risen. So how is the situation looking for the rest of 2009 and into the New Year? The recent...

Until relatively recently, the idea that a woman could successfully lead a multimillion-dollar company was considered absurd. Happily, though, the times they are a-changin’ (albeit not as quickly as many would like) and women are now marching confidently into the testosterone-dominated business...
