It takes all kinds to make up a workplace, and along with the introverts, extroverts, people-pleasers, and pragmatists, every workplace has leaders and followers. Being a leader is no easy task, as you all seem to know — almost half of you say you wouldn’t want your boss’s job. But some people (like, say, Michael Scott?) just naturally gravitate toward leadership positions and aren’t Read more

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Carol Smith, who is senior vice president and chief brand officer for the Elle Group, said women are "hands down" better managers than men. She even went so far as to add "There’s no contest." In my experience, female bosses tend to be better managers, better advisers, mentors, rational thinkers. Men love to hear themselves talk. I’m so Read more
Jennifer Aniston wore gray from head to toe alongside her costar Steve Zahn at a screening of Management in NYC last night. Jennifer and Steve have known each other since he guest starred on Friends in the second season and he's still impressed when he gets recognized for it. This movie might not have as splashy a premiere as Jennifer's last two blockbusters but she's still out promoting it Read more
When I think of Jennifer Aniston, things that immediately spring to mind include stuff like high-profile relationships (and breakups), really toned arms, nice tan, perfect hair. In other words, she can sometimes seem larger than life, and it's easy to forget that she can still play the "everyday gal" with the best of them. I loved her in The Good Girl and really enjoyed her performances in Read more
I remember when I first heard the casting news for the romantic comedy Management, and it seemed like an awesome idea to pair up the underrated (in my opinion) Steve Zahn with Jennifer Aniston. And ever since the movie earned some positive buzz after debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival, I've been anxious to see some footage. Now we've got a clip from the movie, which is funny Read more
The news: Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn will play the leads in a romantic comedy called Management. What's the story? According to Variety, "Aniston will play a traveling saleswoman who sells cheap art to small companies and motels. She has a fling with an aimless, underachieving assistant motel manager (Zahn) at one of her stops, and he pursues her all over the U.S." Stalking = hilarious? Why Read more
Sea urchin is often a polarizing ingredient. Yoo Eatz encourages us to muster some courage and embrace this culinary adventure in the form of pasta. What's so gross about sea urchin? Even some of the most adventurous eaters I know will make the most horrific faces when the topic comes up. I asked my husband about this — he generally recoils when I suggest that we share a pair of nigiri at the Read more
Destiny's Child said it best: bills, bills, bills! And since no one has offered to pay our Saks, Macy's, or Nordy bills, it's high time we got our finances in order. Isn't that what the New Year is all about? Let us introduce Manilla, which is a free online bill organizer all about helping you keep your finances in order (and a steady flow of shoes into your closet). How? Manilla gathers all of Read more
To me, Berkeley Bowl is a sacred place worthy of a weekly pilgrimage. Perhaps the ultimate food-lover's grocery store, this massive Berkeley, CA, food emporium carries a huge selection of goods from around the world, and at great prices. I consider it a must stop for friends visiting the Bay Area, so why not share my adventures? The most remarkable part of the store is probably the produce, Read more
