AUGUST 2009

 

Bonjour, Bella!

 

The weather these days can put anyone in a foul mood—sunny days are rare, and the days are either cloudy or rainy, or worse, stormy. Who wouldn’t want to hibernate at home given this climate? We know we do.

 

Since we are your soul sisters, we’ve come up with ways to make your temporary hibernation productive and fruitful for you. Check out our Day Off section—we’ve listed a few films you might want to watch, depending on your mood and the company you have (and you can even watch it alone!). And what’s a day off without pampering yourself? Because it can be an effort to get up and head to the salon or spa, we’ve found ways to make your room a spa sanctuary of sorts—the Makeup Room this month features a few key ingredients to give yourself head-to-toe TLC and rejuvenate you, inside and out.

 

With the global recession still not going away, now’s the time to be a savvy shopper. Be a recessionista fashionista with our smart shopping tips in Runway Report. Keep them in mind as you scour the malls for bargains and sales.

 

Lastly, as the weather can dampen your mood and affect your working mindset, we present a few mantras to help you get through the working day and boost your spirit in the office in this month’s Casting Call. Jot them down and tack them on your cubicle wall. The weather may be dreary and miserable, but you don’t have to be. So chin up, cheer up, and smile!

 

Love,

Your Soul Sisters
