Fall Makeup 2014
I’m incredibly anxious for Fall. Can you tell? It’s still a billion degrees in Georgia, but whatever. I’m still rocking my argyle and loving it. I wanted to do something different – and you might not be able to tell from photos and video alone, but I’m putting a shimmer in my crease. Let me rewind just in case you thought I stuttered – I PUT A SHIMMER IN MY CREASE, YA’LL. That almost never happens! I’m such a die-hard fan of putting matte colors in my crease, but decided to take a step out of my comfort zone and try something new. For those rolling your eyes like, “Uhhh.. why is that such a big deal, Asia?”, I’ll explain it. I have hooded eyelids – just a fancy term for eyes that have a little bit of extra skin on the lid – and the best way to carve out the shape of my eye is to use matte eyeshadow in the crease. Matte colors don’t reflect light – meaning my eye won’t look like a disco ball. Matte colors also tend to flatten the skin, so if you’ve got giant pores like me, matte is your best fried. Shimmer, however, is kind of an evil twin. I’ve never met an eyeshadow I didn’t like, but every now and again, I have to give shimmer eyeshadows the side-eye. 😉 Hopefully I pulled this look off!

Okay. So I’ve been really into doing something with that inner crease – mostly unknown territory for the general public. And, of course, I choose red.

Your College Network and The Karmic Circle
Has your mother ever told you that the people you surround yourself with are the people you become? Or how about, “Don’t tease that kid, Billy. He may become your boss one day.” Well, my mom told me all of these things, but she communicated this ultimate idea of karmic interaction in a slightly different way and for a slightly different reason. When I was in high school, a boy was stabbed in the hallway by another high school kid. I was in ninth grade, and reflecting back on that incident, I can’t imagine how terrified my mom might have been – to know that her daughter had barely been in high school for three months and then violence breaks out not even two brick walls away from her. It’s true – the event was grave. I remember the sound of the helicopters swirling overhead and the rattle of the trailers outside. Everyone was scared and no one knew what was happening. We all thought someone was shot. After the event, details were released to the public and I remember talking to my mom about it. She said, “Now Asia – you be careful how you treat other people, because you have no idea what others are capable of and you have no idea who they will become.” It was like she was telling me to watch out for the potential Hannibal Lecters or Adam Lanzas or Tooth Fairys in my life. It was like I was supposed to train myself to develop some kind of radar for sociopaths and psychos and I was supposed to be able to... read more
6 Best Time Management Tools For Leaders
I know a lot of my colleagues are entering the working world with whatever time management and organizational skills and habits they already had in college – be they amazing or downright bad. In my experience of knowing all kinds of organizers and time managers, not only do three specific type of agenda keepers come to mind, but their respective time management style(s).And yes – time management is definitely an art, and everyone needs to discover their best medium. I will say that no one ever just sticks to one thing; I’ve seen many-a-time-manager drift through the different types of agenda keepers throughout their entire lives.There’s three main types of agenda keepers: The Scheduler – A Scheduler is someone who would say “Let me pencil you in” or “I just need to write this in my agenda”. They need access to a an actual calendar at all times – be they digital or physical. Schedulers tend to be the most old-fashioned and favor old-school methods the most. The Tasker – Lists are the haven of the Tasker. Long, organized lists with just a few details underneath are typically all that the Tasker needs. Crossing each item as its complete is a moment of exhilaration for a Tasker, and they don’t fret even when their list seems interminable (because it ultimately is). The Tracker – Trackers are always looking at the clock. How many minutes are they spending here? How about there? Trackers are most worried about how many hours they spend doing something. Pure-Trackers are hard to find; most people only dabble into Tracking life. 6 Best Time Management Tools... read moreBest Finance Tools
