Curiosity May Be the Single Most Important Trait for Success in School
This week I came across an article that really hit home with me and confirmed my thoughts on the importance of creativity and why parents and educators should encourage this trait. New research published in the journal Pediatric Research in April suggests there may be one simple trait that can help kids learn and succeed in school, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Researchers who looked at the reading and math scores of 6,200 kindergarteners in 2006 and 2007 found that those kids whose parents rated their children’s behavior as most curious did the best in school, regardless of socioeconomic status.

In the Spotlight: Girl Boss Michelle Nutz of ALKALI Beauty Products
Michelle has been my hairdresser since way back in the day! My husband likes to joke and says he is the reason we met which is sort of true. He came back after getting his haircut at a salon across from our apartment and told me about a cool young woman who just arrived from South Africa. He thought we’d get along. Well, I guess he was right since I have been seeing Michelle since the late 90’s and only once veered off to go to a woman who would dye my hair brown since I knew she wouldn’t! True story.
