After a spectacular week of celebrating our 150th Episode last week, we are back this week to brag about the publication of Holly's fashion advice recently featured on The Today Show website: Best Linen Pants for Summer! READ IT HERE: https://www.today.com/shop/best-linen-pants-rcna91136 #yyyaasasssss Believe it or not, Holly has not previously owned linen pants. #ummno This is not surprising for those of us that live in Southern states – because - linen gets wrinkly before you can even start THINKING about wearing it. #Facts #Ugh However, in doing research for this article, Holly was happy to find ‘linen-blend” options that she has totally warmed up to, and is now recommending. And, in the spirit of summer fashion, we are throwing in summer T-shirts, and even recommending appropriate summer flip flops on this episode (even though your favorite personal stylist may or may not have totally bashed this shoe option in a previous episode)! #Weeeeeee #LookNoHands! Summer Linens: Every summer, your social feeds are flooded with dreamy linen clothing options: White linen pants, linen shirt dresses, linen button-down shirts, etc. It all looks super cool, refreshing, flowy and fun - until you buy something and dare to try it on, let alone wear it somewhere and try not to get wrinkled. You can hand-steam all you want, besties. This stuff will look like you've been sleeping in it for week the second you get dressed. #damn So, if you want the linen look, and not the sloppy, lived-in look, Holly has your summer style tips all lined up for you here! HOT TIP: Please go to the HOLLY KATZ STYLING Pinterest board to follow along visually: https://www.pinterest.com/hollykatzstyling/top-t-shirts-flip-flop-linen-pants-for-2023/ LINEN PANTS Repeat after Holly: Linen-blend is your summer friend, not your enemy. You can wear linen pants! Regular linen is made of untreated, natural fibers that have not been bleached, colored, or treated in some way. So, there is nothing to keep it from wrinkling or to help it keep its shape. By finding a linen-blend, you will have a fabric that supports the linen look and feel, with minimal wrinkles. HOT TIP: Linen pants, especially white linen pants, can tend to be sheer and see through. Make sure your pants fit well, (the linen look is loose-fitting), and please do not tell us you are wearing a thong panty without telling us you are wearing a thong panty, because your pants are see through. #Pleasecheck Holly recommends sizing up when trying linen pants. Also, be careful how you clean your linen – an easy fabric to shrink! Choose your linens wisely-here are the linen pant brands Holly recommends: All on the pinterest board! Mill & Moss Posse Banana Republic Vince Free People Frank & Eileen & Other Stories A.L.C. T-SHIRTS Holly likes to classify T-shirts into these 3 categories: 1.) Solids: You do not need a T-shirt in every color. However, a crisp white T is always in style. Then you can add to your collection from there with a pop of color, or a muted neutral. Solid T-shirts are the FOUNDATION of your summer outfits. You will want to accessorize and dress it up from there. 2.) Vintage and Graphic: It is always on trend to wear any sort of vintage T-shirt, as long as it is in good condition- (think concert T-shirts, vintage brand or team shirts). This is a great option for collectors, or for those on a budget. Good condition means no rips, tears, smells, or stains. We can't believe we need to say that, but you'd be shocked. All 2nd hand and vintage tees need to be washed before wearing. 3.) College and Sport Teams: These types of casual T-shirts are a Fashion Crime - UNLESS you are attending or participating in “said” event. This is where you can wear your swag, fly your flag and sport your team socks-but at the game and the game only. It's not chic to wear college alumni shirts, sorority and fraternity letters, your high school baseball team shirt, etc. when you're not at the specified function that supports this type clothing. #thankyou T-shirt brands Holly recommends: Groceries Apparel JCrew Harvest & Mill Neococo Katla Oldschooltees Generation Cool How to wear: Accessorize your T-shirts with statement jewelry, a great handbag, a detachable collar, or just fabulous glam sunglasses. Wear under a jacket, blazer, jumpsuit, or sundress – anything sleeveless! Wearing a vintage tee with a maxi skirt is Holly's go-to look. Do not go cheap on T-shirts. There is a huge difference in fit and quality if you purchase in a ‘Box Store” vs. a higher-level brand. Be honest with yourself – if this is an item you wear constantly in your wardrobe, do yourself a favor and spend some money on quality fabric and fit. You won't regret it! T-shirts should be snug and not oversized. Make sure the fabric isn't too sheer! If we see nipplige or problem areas, the fit is too tight. #FashionOver40 FLIP FLOPS: Okay, you didn't hear it from Holly, but flip-flops are something she grew up with like the rest of us. What was once a $2 piece of rubber that you put on your feet, has now turned into items that luxury brands can sell for hundreds of dollars. Please take note that there are two kinds of flip flops: the ones that are rubber and cheap that you throw into your car when you need to get a pedicure and nice leather or designer ones that you wear in the summer. How to wear Flip Flops: We would like to explain, with your permission, the do's and don'ts of flip flops. Please do not, under any circumstances or for any reason, OR at any time or place on this planet, in this point of your life, wear flip flops with arch support. #oldladyflipflops This is a Fashion Crime: you are too fabulous at this point to walk around or stand all day in platform flip-flops. You know this, we know this, tell your friends this. Cheap, flat, rubber flip-flops are for the pool and the beach. That's it. However, you can find lovely slip-ons and other sandals that will keep you cool in the dead of summer without looking sloppy or cheap. Dressy slip-on shoes and designer flip-flps go perfectly with shorts, short skirts, sundresses and dressy white jeans. Holly Favorite Flip Flop Brands: tkees kate spade havianas rainbows gucci valentino sophia webster If you do it right, your go-to summer outfit can be as easy as flowy linen-blend pants paired with a classy T-shirt, accessories, and fabulous slip-on sandals or designer flops.

Inspiration doesn't strike on demand and poems do not appear just because you want them to. This one is no exception. Over the past few years I yearned to write a poem about Don Pedro Albizu Campos, I even wrote a few that were reasonably good. However none captured the essence of one of the most incredible things about the remarkable Puerto Rican liberator; the power of his voice. It was something that had captivated me from the moment I heard it. What I heard was something between a thunderstorm and a gentle murmur in summer grass, a hurricane and a warm breeze. I can really find no better way to describe it than the essence or Boricua soul and the collective voice of resistance of ancestors that refused to be broken and humiliated. He spoke with such confidence in the greatness of the Puerto Rican Nation, one who truly listens cannot help but be overcome with incredible pride. On one occasion thousands stood in the pouring rain for more than two hours as he spoke. Many would remember that he spoke with an "electric, almost religious fervor" 1 that captivated people. So after years of trying to capture exactly that in a poem, it finally came to me with such ease one evening earlier this month; single line that expressed that which I was struggling to convey, "his voice was more of a storm than a man". Feliz Cumpleaños, Don Pedro Que Viva Don Pedro Albizu Campos Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre Betances: refers to Ramón Emeterio Betances (1827-1898) known as "El Padre de la Patria" and "El Padre de los Pobres" ("the father of the country" and "the father of the poor"). He was a Puerto Rican revolutionary, organizer of El Grito de Lares, abolitionist and medical doctor. Hostos: refers to Eugenio Maria de Hostos (1839-1903) known as "El Gran Ciudadano de las Americas". He was a Puerto Rican independence advocate, lawyer, educator, novelist, sociologist and philosopher. Lola de Tio: refers to Lola Rodríguez de Tio (1843-1924) Puerto Rican independence advocate, poet, abolitionist, advocate for women's rights and writer of the original, revolutionary version of Puerto Rico's anthem, 'La Borinquena'. Agüeybaná: refers to Taíno cacique Agüeybaná II (El Bravo) (c. 1470-1511) who led the Taino rebellion of 1511 against the Spanish conquistadors and was killed in battle with them after being betrayed by his sister. Hatuey: refers to Taíno cacique Hatuey (c. 1478-1512) known as "Cuba's First National Hero" who traveled from his homeland, Quisqueya (the Dominican Republic) to Cuba and waged guerilla warfare against the conquistadors before he was burned alive after refusing to be converted to christianity. Bolívar: refers to Simón Bolívar (1783-1830) known as "the Liberator" who liberated the present-day countries of Venezuela, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador from Spanish rule. He served as the 1st president of Colombia, 6th president of Peru and 1st president of Bolivia.

Journalist, author, speaker & strategist Erica Sandberg is best known for giving sound and practical financial guidance to readers & viewers. But more than a personal finance expert, she's a resident of San Francisco. She has seen for herself the escalating issues with the city's homeless population, especially in its Tenderloin neighborhood, which has rapidly devolved into a modern skid row. The culprit? Easy accessibility to drugs. So she went undercover to three facilities where local addicts can get supplies for their habits, ostensibly for the benefit of public health. What she found there shocked her, and it will probably shock you as well. Hear in her own words why she believes San Francisco's lax drug policies are making matters much worse, and much, much more deadly. ***** TOP STORIES: FBI Releases Affidavit on Trump's Mar-a-Lago Home Raid.

This post comes after the news that Mailchimp is making some big changes in 2019. I'll break down what these changes mean for YOU and whether or not you should switch. Spoiler alert: YES. I'd recommend changing. When I very first got started with email in 2013, I used Mailchimp. I heard a speaker talk about the importance of an email list and that's what she recommended. They had a free plan for up to 2000 emails and were a trustworthy company. I stayed with them until 2015, when my goals were different and Convertkit won me over with their fabulous features. I haven't looked back. I've still recommended Mailchimp to readers as an okay place to start, though they aren't my favorite. But coming on the heels of their announcement in May 2019, I'm changing my tune. Here's why and what YOU need to know. WHAT'S CHANGING IN MAILCHIMP Mailchimp has been providing a service: allowing businesses big and small to send emails to their customers. (LEGAL emails. Read more about being legal HERE.) Now Mailchimp is moving to become a "marketing platform." They are adding features that allow them to be more of a CRM (customer relationship management) tool. That tells us a lot. The keyword being: CUSTOMERS. In simplest terms, Mailchimp is moving its focus toward bigger businesses and business as a whole. Not mom-and-pop blogs or authors (as much as we really are running businesses). Most of the email services I've recommended handle that ONE thing: email. Other big companies like Infusionsoft call themselves a CRM rather than an email service provider. The difference is a different features and a heckuva lot more money. For most of us, Mailchimp is not focused on providing our needs. But they'll still provide email, right? Yeah. But I wanted to look at the big picture FIRST--they aren't here to serve YOU, the author or blogger or creative with a starting-out to average income and business. Now let's break down some of the specific changes. WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? If you are still using Mailchimp and don't have more than 2000 subscribers, you're probably thinking that you're find and can just stay. You CAN. But there are current and coming changes that will affect you. What's changing: (as noted) the focus is now on bigger businesses as a CRM free subscriber count now includes unsubscribes as well as active users limited audiences for free plan members pricing/credits for month-to-month users changes to automation (looks like you can't add new ones now on the free plan) More things WILL change, but we simply don't know yet. My guess would be that they lower the free plan to 1000 or less. There is no need for them to keep people on who are just using them for the free plan. Plus, if you've been cleaning your list regularly to stay under 2000, those emails you cleaned will now still count. Under that, my old list wouldn't be a free plan anymore. If you've been on the legacy PAID plan, you're grandfathered into their pricing. If you are on the FREE plan, when you hit paying levels, you'll be getting the new pricing. And the month-to-month users' credits will stop being active. In short, you're getting less bang for your buck. SO, SHOULD YOU LEAVE MAILCHIMP? You don't HAVE to. I mean, if you have 200 subscribers, you're probably thinking, why waste my time moving? Here's the thing: before this, I was barely recommending Mailchimp. Their features are clunky and should be way better and easier to use for as long as they've been around. They are a powerhouse and should have had features where you could click a link in an email to add a tag or move you to a group. That kind of thing is so hard in Mailchimp that even after watching tutorials on merge tags, I didn't get it. They kind of try to hide this by calling some of their features automations and tagging, but where other companies have sophisticated features called the same things, Mailchimps features just don't do the job. The best thing about Mailchimp has been the giant free plan. That will likely change, and fundamentally does now that they are counting unsubscribes. With average features, they are trustworthy in terms of a reputable company, but their goal isn't to serve YOU. They don't even have customer service AT ALL for the free plan. If you have considered a move, I think this is the kick in the pants that you should use to just do it. WHAT EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDER SHOULD YOU USE? I've tried all the biggies. Well, almost. I haven't tried Send in Blue or Active Campaign or Infusionsoft. But I've tried Mailchimp, Mad Mimi, Tiny Letter, Aweber, ConvertKit, and Mailerlite. That's a lot. I've paid for plans to test things SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Here are my top two recommendations and who should try each one. I'm an affiliate for each and will share my link, which won't cost you extra. (And NO, I'm not promoting them because I'm an affiliate. I became an affiliate because I USE and LOVE them.) Cheapest and Simplest: Mailerlite This email provider gives you 1000 free emails. They also have features that Mailchimp doesn't. Their automations are much more powerful and do more. Much more. Once you start paying, it's not that much AND you have customer service on the free plan. I use Mailerlite for my Emma St. Clair list, where I essentially have an easy entryway onto my list and sell books. The end. TRY MAILERLITE! Most Powerful and Amazing: ConvertKit I've long been an advocate of Convertkit and still am. Their features are fantastic and streamlined. Easy to use and powerful. If you are simply selling books, this is more than you'll need. But if you have other things going on like sales funnels and lots of lead magnets and things like that, Convertkit's features beat Mailerlite's. I use Convertkit for my Create If Writing List, where I've run webinars and hosted live summits and set up sales funnels. TRY CONVERTKIT! If you're still unsure, you can check out my post where I go more in depth on which email service provider you should use. READ IT HERE.

But you might not want to. Eventually, you WILL want to move and it's much easier to move now than move later. Trust me.
