Editor's Notes

 

Happy 4th of July! If you’re in the states, I hope you had a safe and happy holiday. Although we’ve been sweltering here in the Northeast, at least we’ve had lots of sunshine.

Because summer means vacation, we’ve decided to publish The Career Intelligencer only once per month during July and August. Don’t worry we’ll be back twice a month beginning in September. (Look for me on Block Island in August.)

Since vacation means taking trips, the focus of this issue is travel. You’ll find a ton of tips in Vacation Bound by Nancy Morris. For even more information pick up a copy of our Spotlight: Gutsy Women, More travel tips and wisdom from the road by Marybeth Bond. If you travel with your computer, DVD’s can be a wonderful distraction. Read Rainy Day Movies for some ideas on which films to pack.

If you’re like me, nutrition is one of the last things on your mind right now. But, you’ll enjoy the summer more if you’re healthy. Pick up some tips on controlling your cravings in The After Dinner Craze by nutrition expert Karin Witzig, HHC.

Please feel free to send your comments or suggestions to me at arichmond@career-intelligence.com. Let me know what you want to see here and I'll try to bring it to you. And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please pass it along.

It's your life, make the most of it :)

Hitting the Road

 

If you've ever browsed the travel section of your local bookstore, you know there are dozens of travel books on the market. Some focus on spa destinations. Some provide a guide to the best retail outlets. And some let you know where your four-legged companion is welcome.

Happily I found a wonderful travel book written specifically for women: Gutsy Women, More travel tips for the road by Marybeth Bond. Author of five travel books for women, Bond offers more than basic tips like "keep the bulk of your money in a money belt under your clothes". She shares a multitude of secrets gleaned from many years on the road.

Gutsy Women covers every phase of your journey from the initial planning to readjusting when you return home. Invaluable for the chapter on Safety and Security alone, the book includes:

Click for Details
 
  • The safest hotel rooms for women
  • When and how much to tip
  • Keeping safe in an unfamiliar environment
  • What to pack to help you stay healthy
  • How to bargain with street vendors
  • Getting the best hotel rate
  • Space conscious packing

In addition to basic tips, there are chapters devoted to specific groups including: business travelers, mothers and daughters, older adventurers, solo travelers and people with kids.

Gutsy Women is an insightful, interesting read. Unlike some authors, Bond is not afraid to cover touchy topics like romance on the road (the importance of bringing contraception from home) and mother/daughter travel (the value of planning alone time). The book also is peppered with observations from female travelers of a variety of ages and walks of life.

Pick up a copy of Gutsy Women before you start planning your next trip. Frank and funny, Bond is sure to inform and entertain you. Sharing her experiences even may encourage you to travel more often.

How to prepare for the summer fun

By Nancy Morris

Well, it’s that time of year again. The summer vacation beckons! The kids are getting out of school and you’ve booked time off work. You’ve spent months saving and weeks preparing for your break away.

Or maybe you’ve checked your work schedule and part of your summer will be spent jetting from meeting to meeting.

Has the boss just walked through the door, telling you that your long-awaited international secondment is going ahead in just a few weeks?

Whatever the reason that takes you away from home this summer, you’ll want to plan ahead so that you can both enjoy and benefit from the trip. Read more

 
 

What to do when your cravings are out of control

By Karin Witzig, HHC

QUESTION: I eat so well during the day, egg whites for breakfast, salads for lunch with fat-free dressings, and a sensible dinner. Why do I have these out of control cravings every night? I’ve eaten the right things, I exercise regularly and still, I can’t budge the last ten pounds. I don’t want to go out or put on my attractive clothing, because I just don’t feel great about myself.

You get home from work, prepare dinner and then the trouble begins. The dishes are done, you relax for the first time today and then the cravings hit. You plan on being “good” and measure out a proper serving of fat-free ice cream or take exactly four cookies out of the package. You sit down, happy with your proportioned selection and begin to enjoy your well-deserved dessert. Then it happens. You can’t stop eating. Read more
