Recently, I headed up to the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Despite living in New Jersey my entire life, I’ve never been there before. Right next to the Prudential Center is a courtyard called Champions Plaza where Prudential and the Alliance for Lifetime Income hosted an event during Oktoberfest. I had a chance to be a part of the action, talk more with the Prudential team and learn more about what I can do as a woman to take steps now to protect my retirement.   [Read more…] about Simple Ways for Women to Protect Their Retirement

Get the First Look inside Indigo at The Mall at Short Hills – Canada’s Biggest Book Store Now Open in the US

Last week I had a chance to visit Indigo open now inside Short Hills Mall right here in New Jersey. If you’re never heard of Indigo, you’re probably not alone. While Indigo is Canada’s BIGGEST Bookstore, it’s brand new to the U.S. The first ever U.S. based store is officially open in Short Hills Mall and I’ll be the first to tell you, it does not disappoint! The thing I loved most was that it’s not your average bookstore, it’s so much more. Indigo features a shop within a shop concept offering a unique array of products for women, men, the home, baby, kids, and books.

Have you given much though to retirement? Truthfully, it’s wasn’t something I thought much about until recently. With my step-dad’s sudden retirement a few weeks ago, it’s something that’s been fresh on my mind. While I thought I was on the right track and doing things right to protect our retirement, an eye opening trip to New York City with Prudential showed me that I may not doing as great as I thought. As a woman talking about money, especially publicly, is kind of a taboo topic but it shouldn’t be. It’s just one more thing that should be talked about and as women, we need to be more comfortable talking about it so we can prepare for our future and retirement so we can enjoy out best life when we’re older.

Fall Consignment Sales are here! Make the most of your shopping trip with these Consignment Sale Tips, Tricks & Hacks!

This is a sponsored post in partnership with JBF Lower Bucks. All opinions are my own.

Fall is a tricky time of year when it comes to shopping for kids clothes. If you’re like most people I know, you probably take the kids back to school shopping right before school goes back. That’s great but you’re still probably buying shorts and tee shirts since the weather is still pretty warm (if not down right HOT) when the kids first go back. Within a few weeks the temperatures start to drop and it’s time to bring out the jeans, sweatshirts and jackets. If you didn’t get any of that when you first shopped, don’t worry it’s consignment sale time! Consignment sales like JBF Lower Bucks hold their big sales in the Spring and Fall so now is the perfect time to pick up all the cooler weather essentials your kids will need this year!
