Whenever the feelings of frustration comes from work, life and just adulthood in general, I tend to partake in online shopping or dine at a nice restaurant to blow of some steam. I tend to do the same whenever I am celebrating a personal win too. What about you? Have you ever bought something on a whim just because you were feeling stressed, bored, or even overly happy?

As someone in her late 30s juggling a full-time job, freelance gigs, graduate school, and personal aspirations, I often feel like I’m walking a tightrope without a net. It’s exhilarating, rewarding, and occasionally terrifying. Sprinkle in a thick layer of studying for certifications and my days blur into an intricate dance of deadlines and determination.

We know, we know, everyone always says that looks matter. Babes, it does. The way you dress affects how others perceive your professionalism.
