According to a recent study, women who are assertive in the workplace are compensated more than their "nice" counterparts. But even the most dominant women are still paid less than the least assertive men. Women in the workplace are often told we are hurting our own authority by apologizing all the time.

If you haven't been to this incredibly unique and charming town, you've gotta go, you will love it! (and I'm not just saying that because I'm German and I love the culture 😉 ) This super cute little town is SO much like being in Southern Germany.

I knew that I wanted a change in life but was extremely unsure about every aspect of my life.

Sunday Funday kayaking along the Indian Arm with my 2 best friends! <3 It's a breathtaking place to be, surrounded by majestic mountains, with so many secluded beaches and islands. Great picnic spots, and beautiful trails to walk along. A perfect for a romantic day trip with your sweetie (or anyone, really!)  😀 Here's a couple of videos of our trip: Tweet Share this:Facebook

Viewed through the lens of history, some of these leaders have been truly awful, yet they still managed to accrue followers.
