Best Hostess Gift

Philosophy’s “Holiday Hostess” combo of Sugary Cinnamon Icing shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath and body lotion is an ideal gift to give when you go to a holiday party. The frosted blue packaging is very charming as is the tag line “every …

There is enormous variety of fun and cool options for stocking stuffers this year. I personally fell in love with Christian Audigier’s Ed Hardy candles with their tattoo art tin packaging and divine scent. For a more traditional candle option, check out Crabtree & Evelyn’s Noel candles; so pretty with a heady fragrance. What’s great about these products is that you can buy the 3-piece gift sets and then put a single candle in a stocking; perfect fit, perfect price!

If you would prefer to give lip balms, Philosophy’s “Under the Mistletoe” is a nice set of four including my favourite, the…

On November 4th, the Washington DC Chapter of 85 Broads hosted a conversation on financial markets at the U.S. Treasury Department with Mary Miller, Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets. Ms. Miller was confirmed in February 2010, whereby she advises the Secretary of the Treasury on broad matters of domestic finance, financial markets, federal government financing, and federal government credit policies. Before joining Treasury as one of the most senior economic officials, Ms. Miller was Vice President of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., in Baltimore, Maryland. Over the course of 26 years …

I’m working on my latest project – ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ – an innovative, timely and important new documentary style web and mobile based multimedia series highlighting stories from across America – stories from big cities, small towns, communities, neighborhoods, streets, homes, rooms… It’s all about what we think America is, who American’s are, how we see ourselves, and how we welcome the world to our home.

I’m the co-executive producer of the project, working with the talented Amber Roniger and Dennis Gelbaum.

The ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ project is an ex…

Every morning I log onto my Outlook and there it is staring at me in the face – my absolute failure to accomplish what I wanted to in any given day in the form of my Outlook “Reminders”. There is the “call Volvo for maintenance service” from 3 weeks ago, “bring in couch cushions for reupholstering” from 2 weeks ago”, “buy birthday gift for my client” from 1 week ago, and so on. And, these reminders make noise when they pop up – it’s my never ending automatic nag. It reminds me that while there are 1,440 minutes in a day, or 10,080 minutes in a week, I can’t, or am unwilling to, find the …

Eden Essick, our Project Manager at Nucleus recently pondered KFC’s shift from healthy grilled chicken to the ooey gooey Double Down…

The Blogosphere is abuzz with commentary on KFC’s new sandwich, the Double Down. There seems to be a general repulsion slash fascination with the Double Down, inevitably leading to the Who Can Eat It and Live to Tell the Tale challenge taken on by the likes of Sam Sifton of the NY Times and the guys over at NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me blog.

The reaction here is likely exacerbated by the stark contrast between creating sandwiches that replace bread wit…

At Nucleus we whole-heartedly agree with O’Hare who warns, “The ease of fielding multiple online studies naturally appeals to executives grasping for insights and under pressure to make decisions quickly. But too many impatient executives throw away money on poorly constructed studies. Studies that produce speedy…
