What I'm Reading Today: Decor Ideas, Kozm-ic and Teenage Dreams Revisited

Home:
10 Decorating Ideas to Steal from the World's Most Stylish Restaurants (Apartment Therapy)

My immediate thought when I saw this title was, "I wonder if Sketch is in there?" Yep!

If you're ever in London, you just stop in for afternoon tea or in my case, some bubbles. It might set you back a few but it will be worth it especially when you have to go to the bathroom. You're welcome.

Speaking of ladies' rooms....

Business:
How Cinnabon President Kat Cole Went from Hostess to COO: 9 Tips for Success

I love reading about successful women and how they got to where they are. And, if you have a Linkedin profile, I will definitely be looking at it. Granted, time has flown this coop to get an MBA without a bachelor's degree for me but there are some insightful points on how to run 1,100 stores of gooey goodness.

Delivery Start-Ups Are Back Like It's 1999 (NYTimes)

Wow, remember Kozmo? I was hoping that it was going to happen especially with living in Austin at the time. I remember seeing signs for it in Los Angeles, too. But, nope.

Having just killed our Plated subscription (the veggies were arriving rotten a few too many times...hope you fix it!), I nearly felt compelled to use Burpy for grocery delivery so I could avoid the inevitable trip. We use Grubhub for very rare food deliveries (c'mon Houston, make food delivery a real thing with a low enough minimum for one person!) And, this whole delivery thing isn't so much about being lazy but about being more efficient and paying for convenience...ahem.

Life:
Revisiting Teenage Dreams (WSJ)

Oh, teenage Heather. Sometimes I still wonder about you! Any way, I really think my favorite part is what I've been told all along - you can never have enough education. And, don't look back! Keep moving forward. What would you tell your teenage self?
