From 12/30/08 Huffington Post Column:On New Years, we tend to make resolutions which are usually promises to do something “more, better, or different” as our society seems to revolve around this notion that there is always room for improvement. We vow to exercise more, get a better job, fall in love, or find a different…

From 12/16/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,This year I’m not able to afford to fly back and spend the holidays with my family, so I am facing my first holiday alone. The way I’m dealing with it is that I’m not getting too excited or invested in the holiday season. I just can’t wait for it…

From 12/09/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I read about “Expectation Hangovers®” in your book and I feel like I am having one because of my job. I enjoy the work and environment less and less every day, which is disappointing because I thought I’d really love working in this field. I have totally lost my motivation.…

From 12/02/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,This holiday season, I’m trying to cut back financially and I’m wondering if I’m expected to buy a gift for my boss? What about my coworkers? With the economy as bad as it is, is it sort of an “excuse” not to have to buy gifts? And if I don’t,…

From 11/25/08 Huffington Post Column:Today’s twentysomethings, aka Gen Y, have a reputation for being overly self-focused and entitled. Although there may be some truth to this stereotype, it’s neither 100% true nor 100% negative. There are upsides to focusing your awareness on yourself, ESPECIALLY if it has to do with gratitude and appreciation. Around this…

I often get asked to review or recommend books for twenty-somethings. The latest request is a book called a “What They Don’t Teach You in College: A Graduate’s Guide to Life on Your Own.” Since my college graduation was over ten years ago, I thought it would be helpful to have someone who is actually…

I’m a bad, bad blogger – my last post was in February….if only blogging could become as much of a habit as chocolate is for me! Anyway, lately I’ve been doing radio and TV press interviews for my new book 20 Something Manifesto. I don’t have links to all of them, but I wanted to…

I am pleased to share this review of 20 Something Manifesto from the Library Journal. I guess all those years of being a dorky library aide instead of going to P.E. with all the other kids paid off!!! Library Journal Review 2-15-08.

It’s that time of year again . . . New Year’s! In my opinion, this holiday is more hype than anything else so every year I like to partake in my own special New Year’s tradition that doesn’t involve downing cheap champagne or making resolutions I probably wouldn’t keep anyway!!! On New Year’s Day, most…

Question #1:“Dear Christine,My parents recently told my younger brother and me that they are getting a divorce. I didn’t really see this coming. Even though I’m 24 and I have my own life, this is still really hard. I feel like my whole life growing up was a lie and I’m so sad for both…

Dear Christine, I am actually a thirty-something running a business where the majority of my employees are twenty-somethings. Your post last week about twenty-somethings asking for a raise jumped out at me because I’ve been on the other end of the asking. I value my employees and think we all deserve raises; however, I run…

My husband and I took our summer trip this year to Moscow, Turkey and Greece. It was AMAZING to say the least. Istanbul is an amazing city that should be on anyone’s list of “top cities to see.” Cosmopolitan and laced with history, not to mention great food and nightlife. We also headed to the…
