BUY: A Planner with Purpose

How are your resolutions coming along? If you’re feeling flustered and wondering where January went, it’s not too late to grab Danielle LaPorte’s Desire Map Planner. It’s designed to help you make soulful strategies by aligning your to-do’s with your desires. I hopped on the Desire Map train last year and it was life changing—like, more than $100,000 life changing. Get yours before they sell out. The Fire Starter Sessions is also a game changer.

DOWNLOAD: Nike+ Training Club App — It's Free!

Nike+ Training Club App

Why is it when my plate gets full (not talking food, here) I decide I don’t have time for what I need most: working out? I’ve found the easiest way to combat the no-time game and maintain a healthy lifestyle is to take small bites. Nike+ Training Club app has work outs from 5 mins (chiseled abs in 5? Yes, please!) to full-body work outs created by pro-athletes (with video instruction). It’s perfect for squeezing in a sweat session on-the-go. You can even set up a personalized 4-week program to get you summer ready. Best of all, it’s completely free. Download the app.

READ: The Mental Cost of Owning a Business That We Need to Talk About

No one really wants to talk about depression—especially if you’re an entrepreneur. Nobody tells you when you sign up to be a #girlboss that you actually just volunteered to be the CEO, CFO, Marketing Director, Sales Team, Web Developer and Intern. Of course, owning a business does have its rewards, but it can be a lonely voyage. It becomes even more isolating when you succumb to the pressure of comparing your journey with the social profiles of those renegade biz babes you’re following.

Allyn Lewis does a superb job of shedding light on the issue of mental health among entrepreneurs—1 in 3 lives with depression. This post is worth a read even if you don’t own a business. Do you know someone who does? Maybe you could help end their loneliness by sharing this post with them. 

You’ve got to emanate your vibe to find your tribe. If this issue spoke to you, shoot me an email. I’d love to hear from you. And if you want in on Lewis’ tribe, try her Gem Nation.

SEE: Zoolander 2

He’s so hot right now! Really ridiculously good looking is back. Snag tickets to the year’s most anticipated sartorial film from Fandango and get a free download of the original movie that started the duck face, ahem, Blue Steel. Zoolander 2 opens today and you know it’s going to be a sell-out, which is why I suggest saving your seat on Fandango. And don’t worry, you can get a refund or exchange if you miss the screening. Buy tickets here.
