But – with a bit of discipline, a few productivity hacks and the right tech tools to help keep me connected, I’ve finally mastered the art of working from …

When it comes to my summer off-duty uniform, I live in denim shorts! My favorite pair are from Levis and while they have a very unfortunate name – The Wedgie Fit ? they’ve become my go-to’s. Not too short, not too ripped up, not too high waisted and not too low waisted either. It’s so hard to find a good-fitting pair of denim shorts that you can wear as a thirty-something and not feel as though you’re dressing as a tween!  Do you have a favorite pair of denim shorts that you love to wear? If so please share! And …
