How to be Smarter: I think you are in the right career when you are more excited for the panels at a work-related conference than the cocktail hour.
How to be Prettier: I really love items with scalloped edges; it might be because I go through life with a near-constant craving for scallops wrapped in bacon. In the mean time, scalloped edges can be seen here on: initial pendants, mint crop tops, and candy-colored dresses.
How to be (less) Awkward: For guests, it can feel forward to offer suggestions when a host asks what you would like for a meal at their house. But if a host is asking you, it means they haven’t planned the menu yet and are genuinely looking for your input, so please don’t feel shy about speaking up and offering thoughtful feedback on culinary options.
Thumbs up for scallops wrapped in bacon
Thumbs up on anything wrapped in bacon.
I smiled at the Smarter today
too many folks don’t speak up on dinner preferences and then are surprised at what is served. you can offer remain general such as love anything on the grill or anything with pasta and then offer to bring something to complement the meal and really feel that you made a choice.
I LOVE what you wrote about conferences, because I just went to one today and feel extremely inspired – and didn’t even stop for a drink at the exhibit with the bar. I think it’s a sign! Lol, thanks, Molly
Thumbs up to the Dr. Seuss quote. My favorite!
Molly,
Thank you for writing this blog. Your time and energy helps this college freshman girl feel a little more confident every day! The blog is so innovative and at the same time relatable.
XOXO

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Dr. Seuss quote!!!
“How to be Smarter…” could also mean you just like to learn new things. I love conferences where new ideas are presented, but I don’t think I’m n the right career.
Really like the awkward and the quotation! I think the awkward can also relate to situations where someone is taking another person out for dinner. If Person A asks Person B where they’d prefer to go, Person B should pick a place without feeling too forward either.
