The Newspaper Resoution

***I’ve postponed this project to next year due to extreme fickleness.

WEEKLY RESOLUTION: Read the print newspaper everyday.

As an aspiring public relations professional, I have become quite aware that being aware is the biggest tool for my future career. The importance of staying in the know and up to date with the world around me has been emphasized by every PR authority I’ve come into contact with.  So this leaves me to decide on what the medium for my news absorption should be. I’ve dabbled in radio and I always check my trusty online spots throughout the day. But never do I feel so thoroughly informed as I do when I read a tangible newspaper.  And thus, this habit is one I plan on sticking to long past this week is over.

In other news (pun obviously intended) I’ve been on the dark side before: I used to work at a newspaper. I know the ins and outs of what goes into an issue before it goes to press. And after my experiences, I have no envy for those who plan to enter the journalism sphere. I’ll continue to let my only newspaper interaction be buying and perusing, thank you very much.

How do you get your news?

Peace,

Style Icon: Milla Jovovich

You Caught Me In The Middle, Dazed And Confused

From her pretty patterned fashion line Jovovich-Hawk to her folk album The Divine Comedy, the model turned actress had accomplished a lot more than her Resident Evil fame bubble lets on. To top off her versatility, she is an amfAR ambassador and actively involved in the tck tck tck climate change organization.

It seems like  Milla Jovovich is forever taking cues from her Dazed and Confused wardrobe.  Her style is full of neutrals and basics with some bohemian layering and accessorizing.

Are you inspired by Milla’s style?

Haiti Help

Posted by dannidupa in Musings, Worldly-ness and tagged with , , , , ,

With the death toll in Haiti passing 50,000, the world has turned to action.  Amidst all of this sadness, the good samaritan responses of many organizations have been heart-warming.  American airlines is transporting doctors and nurses to Haiti for free. There’s a pending motion to halt all deportations of illegal Haitian immigrants due to the tragically unstable state of their homeland. Yesterday, UPS didn’t charge for shipping on all Haiti-bound packages under fifty pounds.  The World Bank is providing a $100 million grant, and the United Nations is sending $10 million.  Sweden is rebuilding a base to replace the UN’s destroyed headquarters.Logan Airport waived landing fees for humanitarian flights stopping in Boston to refuel on their way to Haiti.  The Irish telecommunications company Digicel said it would donate $5 million and help repair the phone network that is keeping many families from knowing the fate of their loved ones.

How to help in slightly smaller but still important ways:

Donate to any of these organizations or these.

And if possible donate blood, of course.

Look, the sweet George Clooney is helping.

Especially this Boston-based organization started by the amazing Paul Farmer.

Text HAITI to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross.

Stay up to date on the situation in Haiti with NPR.
