FIRST THOUGHT: Spring Revamping
Spring is all about renewal and transformation. But don’t stress yourself out this season with a complete overhaul. Instead, make incremental changes to revamp your already fabulous life. After all, it only takes a single bloom for spring to announce itself. Making one or two changes can make all the difference, whether that’s adding a vibrant throw pillow to your couch or filling out a gratitude journal.
WOMEN IN NUMBERS: 5 Degrees
Transformations aren’t only for the home. If you want a happy office that will literally leave you warm and fuzzy, you might consider sending out a memo like this to the fellas around your cubicle:
Dear dudes in the office,
HR told me it isn’t appropriate to wear a Snuggie, and it’s just too hard to type with mittens on. Therefore, I’ve changed the office thermostat 5 degrees—from 69 to 74. A recent study showed that women work better in warmer temperatures because their metabolic rates are different from men’s. You can’t fight science!
Sincerely,
All the ladies
