Business: Books on goal setting and self-motivation and staying organized

I recently canceled my subscription to Allure magazine (too much fluff, not enough substance) and am now considering subscribing to Martha Stewart’s body+soul instead. Right now you can get 10 issues for $10 at Whole Living.

When I received the October issue of Allure magazine on Saturday, I was surprised to see Lindsay Lohan on the cover… until I realized it was Ellen Pompeo, as a blonde. I think that color really works for her. Do you?

I’ve read every single issue of domino since it hit newsstands back in 2005. It immediately became my favorite magazine. I was just moving into a new apartment in the city and looking for decorating inspiration. However, three years later, I’ve become a bit disillusioned by it. I can’t put my [...]
