January: Links I Love

January was jam PACKED with some absolutely awesome events and memories and WOW. I’m currently planning the healthified Superbowl snacks that I’ll be whipping up for a mini-party tomorrow, I just threw a conference for women at Wharton with some hella amazing speakers, I survived Juno (which was a MAJOR bummer since classes weren’t canceled – what fun is that?!), and oh yeah – I got engaged. Now, Links I Love time.

But I also spent enough time on le internet to find some totally awesome finds. So I’ll dive right in with these; leave your own favorites below in a comment so I can do more snooping and get a head start on February’s Links. (;

January. Unconventional cupcake recipes, Steve Jobs’ negotiation tactics, Target’s best skin care products, a beautiful “Hallelujah,” morning rituals to set your day’s tone, the best travel mug, tips on feeling more powerful, and 4 fashion apps that you need to download now.
