Ive been using botox fairly consistently for 10 yrs and m happy with the results. However, for financial reasons Im thinking of taking a break for 12 months to save the extra money.

Saw a friend today who is an IVF veteran and asked her advice going into my first retrieval: “the goal is to stay married.” It hit hard.

Hi y’all I am working as a marketing coordinator at an E-commerce company based in Indiana, making $52,000 a year. I have 2 years of relevant experience. Am I being paid fairly? I just received a raise at my annual review.

I just switched jobs only to find out their processes and software are outdated. I’m afraid that I will lose my skills in the new automation and marketing platforms like HubSpot.

Maybe.
