link love

Can you believe January is already almost over?  Eeek, where did the weeks go?!?  I feel like I say this at the end of every month.  January always starts out slow, peaceful and filled with purpose after the holidays, then picks up and life starts to get busy again towards the end.  That’s where we are right now, revving up our schedules for February and the months to follow.

But before things get too busy, let’s take a minute to relax with some great link love.

Life in plastic, it’s fantastic!  Maybe not always though.  After a few years of downturned sales, Mattel released a new line of Barbies yesterday – including curvy, tall, and petite Barbie.  We can all agree that Mattel is a bit behind with this release and Barbie has always been controversial.  As a Barbie graduate I have to say I was way more concerned with chopping off all of the doll’s hair, watching the mermaid tail change colors, and sticking wedding Barbie in the middle of the cake than anything else, but I do think this expansion might be a step in the right direction.  There are so many opinions on both sides of Project Dawn though, it’s hard to know how it will turn out for Mattel and for young children.

On the other end of the scale, I love these pieces of advice from wonderful funny women.  Who run the world? GIRLS.

Now how do we become as successful as all of those women?  By learning from the past?  This article details daily rituals for 25 of history’s most successful people.

As North Carolinians, born and bred, Will and I are excited about the Panthers going to the Super Bowl!  We will be watching it from the comfort of North Carolina, but those who are heading to San Francisco for the game will be shelling out lots and lots of money.  Everything is going to be crazy expensive.

Last, but not least, as we talk about relaxation and busy schedules, we should also remember to include some down time when we need it.  I am guilty of staying on my email when I am sick or not taking a full day off when I might need it.  This article is a great reminder that sometimes we do need to take it easy, especially when we are sick. 

Stay healthy and have a great, relaxing weekend!
