We hope everyone is having a great week-end! I certainly am, and as I’m enjoying a strong cup of coffee on a quiet Sunday morning (and no, it does not happen very often), I’m also compiling what we’ve been reading this week…Here’s the 411:

It’s officially Black History Month (although for us, every day is a part of Black History), and HelloBeautiful writes about the new postage stamp honoring pioneering New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm;
Black Enterprise tips us off on 5 good reasons we are the prime candidates for the job, and don’t even know it, while also whispering in our ear that pre-grad is really the new post-grad in terms of positioning ourselves for success;
Essence shares with us how to dazzle on a dime;
Daily Worth tells us about 10 habits of high net worth women, while giving us a few hints as to how to handle tough conversations at work;
The Daily Muse asks you how much time you’ve really wasted on Facebook (hum!);
I can’t wait for Spring, and neither can Angie from YouLookFab, as she lists for us the 15 trends for Spring 2014;
Lifehacker teaches about the Rule of 3 for daily, weekly and annual productivity (I’m trying it!);
Black Girl Nerds re-launches the #BlackFuturesCampaign especially for Black History Month. It’s an online forum hosted by Black Millenials Musings to promote the voice of young people of color.
