High school seniors are busy writing college applications, interviewing and making certain their social media accounts are "clean." The following are tips that may help them and YOU! 1. While your child is applying to schools, don't speak about the application process to your friends or family. Teens don't need the added pressure by every family member about "the process." 2. Create a list with your child's Top 5 Favorite Choices--this way if they don't get into one school they had their heart set they won't feel as much rejection. 3. Don't have your child discuss his/her college choices with their classmates, too much competition if her best friend gets in and she/he doesn't. 4. Remind her/him that many people have done great things without an Ivy League education. I have fifteen childhood friends who all went to Ivy League schools, and none of them have been  Congressional Staffers, ran their own companies, met 4 Hollywood Di...

Over the years, I have had the good fortune of speaking with some great business owners who are happily married. However they have shared with me the keys to building a business with a spouse. 1. Separate business from home life, always have a separate office from your home, even if you have to get a co-working space from a business incubator. 2. Running a business is 24 hours, decide on what times in your home you MUST discuss things, such as a potential lawsuit, or employee theft. 3. Make certain you are balanced--if your husband is great at product and design, you are the sales and marketing person, stick to your strengths. 4. Never argue in front of an accountant or lawyer or worse a potential client. 5. Never hire an attorney that are friends with just either you or your spouse. They are way too biased. 6. Never put the business before your relationship or children. 7. This should be number one but have a shared passion for the business whatever it is, if you appro...

There are tons of dating and matching shows, that tell women how to look our best to get the man of our dreams, etc. However, we took an informal poll and asked men if looks are the only thing that men want in a relationship. Our results: 1. Men don't like shallow women- grooming and self care is great but a true man want a women who can discuss the basics of current events, have a formal education, and are cultured. 2. Men can't stand women who lie, gossip, and nag! 3. Men no matter how rich they are, they can't stand a spend thrift-- men love women who have self control when it comes to spending. 4. Men especially if the man wants or already has children of his own, they can't stand a mean bitch, men often equate gentleness and femininity with nurturing and mothering qualities. 5. An entitled and ungrateful attitude- We spoke to one man who was severely hurt because he got involved with a woman who felt she could always do better than him, and he was no...

Whoever said that the U.S. Population was on a decline was WRONG!! This summer we counted on one day 10 pregnant women in Manhattan. So what do you get a new born? 1. A piece of silver- It is customary to give silver when a child is born, it dates back to European times, when the next in line to the throne was given silver. Two places where you can find great silver for a new born: 1. Reed and Baron- Great silver spoons, silver cups, silver rattles 2.Tiffany& Co.- Another great store for silver spoons, they even have a brush and comb set for a girl. 2. Diamonds- In some Latin American traditions it is customary to give diamond studs to a newborn girl, especially if she is the first grandchild. 3. Practical Things: 1. Soft books 2. Blankets- for newborns it is swaddling blankets, then everything cotton blankets. Only on formal occasions should you bring out the cashmere blankets. 3. Allergen Free Laundry Detergent 4. Bottles- Even if you are breast feeding, there ...
