		<description><![CDATA[While reading Inc.com this morning, I stumbled across a post titled &#8220;A Powerful (Mission) Statement,&#8221; which focused on the powerful and motivating mission statement for Holstee, a Brooklyn-based company. Although the words are meant to describe the company&#8217;s motto, it also embodies a group of people and ideals. The company actually sells their manifesto on a poster, and has been surprised (but not really) at how it has resonated with people. This got me thinking&#8230;What would [...]]]></description>

In true KB fashion though, I ended up forgetting about the bag until I stumbled across this tweet: Could it be? Did they have the scoop on my bag obsession? I clicked the link and VOILA&#8230;It was THE bag! It turns out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, I am obsessed with “focus.” Mainly, I’m obsessed with strengthening mine and learning to be more effective with my time and to-dos. And, for me, the key to this is focus. I’ve spent way too much of my life being a mutli-tasker, and frankly, it has totally burned me out. I feel like a spaz more often than not, and the problematic avoidance of that overwhelmed feeling has led me to the point [...]]]></description>
