LIFESTYLE — DIET CULTURE MIGHT BE MESSING WITH YOU
Diet culture continues to tell us what to eat and how we should look and quite honestly, can be overwhelming. Social media is one of the culprits, specifically if you follow accounts that show unrealistic diet and fitness goals. Instead, try to be aware of these diets, keeping your personal goals in mind and aligning yourself with a holistic approach instead.

FASHION — STATUS SYMBOLS THAT ARE EVERYWHERE ACCORDING TO NYFW
Attendees of NYFW said status symbols currently include Dior skiwear, designer kitten heels, and Prada clothing. In terms of bags, the Louis Vuitton Capuchines is a chic winner. Needless to say, Chanel will always be a status symbol whether it’s their clothing or bags.

WELLNESS — NO MORE 5 DAY ISOLATION
Covid isolation recommendations may be updating soon and allowing those who test positive to not stay home for up to 5 days in isolation. Individuals are suggested to use clinical symptoms to determine when to end isolation (mainly being fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication) and experiencing mild and improving symptoms.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

EAT: For the best pizza ever, head over to Basecamp pizza. Finding a table may be tough—it's best to check the bar area as well for open seating. Dinner at Edgewood Tahoe would be quite memorable with stunning views of the lake. Driftwood Cafe offers delicious breakfast and lunch options that aren't as fancy, but just as delicious. About 30 miles north of South Lake Tahoe, there is Tahoe House Bakery that is worth every minute of the long drive. If you prefer to cook yourself, there is a Whole Foods Market in South Lake Tahoe as well. 

STAY: For a luxurious stay, you'll want to reserve Edgewood Tahoe or Desolation Hotel. Edgewood is right on the lake and also has a stunning golf course. Desolation Hotel is one of the newest properties in Tahoe and is stunning. Tahoe also has cozy/modern cabins on Airbnb like this and this. There are plenty of other accommodations all around the lake. If you're booking for a long weekend holiday, you'll need to book 3+ months in advance for the best options.

DO: Tahoe is a great option during both the summer and winter months. During the summer, jumping into the lake is a must. You can rent kayaks or a boat. There are plenty of trails to take up as well. For a little extra adventure, visit Tahoe Treetop Adventures—you get to zipline and play in a park...up in the trees! If you happen to visit during the winter, head over to Heavenly for a 2.4-mile gondola ride. Once you get to the mountain, you can ski, snowboard, or go tubing. If you're staying at Edgewood, you can enjoy s'mores in the evening.

Partnerships lead, OPEN PHONE (remote): You’ll lead efforts to broaden the company’s reach within referral business partnerships by collaborating with large-scale companies catering to small business owners. You also have the responsibility of developing a comprehensive reseller strategy that brings to market an offering built for tech advisors and value added resellers.

Growth Manager, PEARMILL (remote): You will Report directly to the head of growth management and also work closely with clients alongside the leadership team. You will also have a lot of autonomy and ownership towards fostering relationships.
