Favorite Things: Rimmel Nail Rescue

The featured picture on Brazen Careerist a few days ago was of a glass of hot chocolate. But, as the author noted, you don’t look at the hot chocolate, you first look at the person’s hands. Even though you shouldn’t judge a person solely based on their outward appearance, that appearance, and in particular their hands, can tell you a lot about who they are.

And, as a nail bitter, I’m pretty self-conscious about how people judge my hands.

After trying everything I bought Rimmel Nail Rescue 2 Week Treatment Hardens Nails.

Now, I’m not biting my nails because  they look too pretty and because I just can’t — the treatment hardens your nails.

My nails post the two week treatment. You be the judge.

Wish List: Groundswell

One of the top things on my list this year for the holidays is the book Groundswell by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff.

The book, according to the Groundswell Web site is “by two Forrester analysts with practical, data-based strategies for companies that want to harness the power of social technologies like blogs, social networks, and YouTube. Featuring 25 full case studies, a complete road map for social strategy, and data from around the world.” Yumm!

Also, check out the Groundswell blog for some great info as well.

I have been wanting to read the book for some time, so I can’t wait to get started. Have you read Groundswell? Are there other books I should be looking into for some holiday reading? Shout out in the comments!
