What are the proper clothes you should wear for jury duty to make sure you get selected? The court system has one of the most traditional dress codes there is. You can save the suits for the attorneys, but business casual is your best bet when wanting to be selected. The goal is to look as neutral as possible so neither selecting an attorney can view you as having the potential to lean one way or the other.  For men, slacks, a button up or collared shirt and dress shoes or boots will do just fine. In more rural areas, you might be able to get away with some jeans, but make sure they are n ..read more

Gone are the days where you have to either be in Los Angeles or New York to “be somebody.” We are living in a time where you are a walking brand and representation of yourself. The other day, as I was chatting with my colleagues about how they do not like The Kardashians reality television show. They went on and on about how The Kardashians are rich and how they think it’s a waste of time to watch other rich people. I chimed in and said “nowadays everyone has an opportunity to be ‘famous’.” They looked at me, the same way you’re probably looking at me reading this blog.  Hear me out. When ..read more

First off, what is self-love? I can tell you what it’s not. Self-love is not bubble baths, nails and hair appointments, and shopping sprees. While those things are conducive to self-care, it doesn’t really define how we should be loving ourselves. Self-love, by definition, is a state of appreciation for oneself that supports our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Here at TRUE, we are dedicated to promoting self-love. Here are a few habits that you can implement to promote self-love:  Physically Well-being Take a walk Taking a walk is a great way to move your body and feel great ..read more

Society encourages getting external validation from others. Think about it. From the time we are young, we are told by our parents who we are and who we are not. Then we grow up into teenagers, finding our own voice, but then being told that we should or shouldn’t act, dress, or look a certain way. We are literally groomed to seek the approval of others. So, why would you look within to determine your beauty and worth if for so long, it has been determined by others?  Beauty is within the eye of the beholder, you being the beholder. This means that it is time to start looking within for t ..read more

Just had a baby and don’t recognize yourself? Guess what, mama? That’s completely normal. You’ve gone through months of developing a human and your body has quite literally formed organs. In most “what to expect,” books they tell you everything about pregnancy but  forget to tell you what to expect in the 4th trimester (first 12 weeks after birth) and postpartum. What they also hesitate to tell you, is that you will still look pregnant within the next few weeks after pregnancy. For some women, it may take months and even years to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. This is why it’s importan ..read more
