Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a great, hopeful restful and restorative week-end! On this side of the blogosphere, temperatures are warming up, even if temporarily…It’s Sunday morning, and for those of you who are rolling to the side of the bed, grabbing your phone, rubbing your sleepy eyes, and squinting to read us today, these are some of the headline news or simply fun, enlightening (or some combination of both) that made our week..Ready? Smile, and read…

• We have been waiting all week for the 45th NAACP awards, and Essence has all the juicy scoop in its Red  Carpet Recap;
• For all the 30-somethings career-minded corporate sisters wondering if we’re late bloomers career-wise (I know I do), Black Enterprise is confirming that even career-wise, 30 is the new 20, and research says yes;
• In “keeping it real” news this week, I particularly enjoyed Medium’s post on life hacks for people pleasers who want to get sh…. done, it’s time to say NO more!
• Diversity Inc. is tipping us off on millennial tactics that can benefit any generation;
• As a Public Accounting veteran, I could not agree more with this Wall Street Journal article, basically asking the much dreaded question: When the boss works long hours, do I also have to?;
• In our “reality check” section this week, we loved loved this Huffington Post on how money changes the way we behave, an absolute must-read with a serious dose of humility and self-questioning for all of us ambitious corporate sisters;
• I do my best work in the wee hours of the morning, but for all the night owls  and for my occasional pick-up on snowy, cold days, The Daily Muse has just what we need, the night owl’s guide to getting up earlier (and if that came with a strong cup of Starbucks espresso too, we’d love it even more);
• On a more fashionable note, given that I am a dress addict, I loved loved Refinery 29’s selection of 27 best work dresses for the office, you should check it out too;
• And last but not least, our own The Corporate Sister is still having its usual rants, one of which this week is around how diversity is a winning value for corporations ( we knew that, but wanted to say it over and over and over again!); and we’re also making a fighting analogy between kickboxing (yes, recently started, muscles still sore) and starting strong at your new job!

Well, happy Sunday, and happy reading!
