 We have an extraordinary team of women at JustAskBoo! That's why we love that March is Women's History Month. We owe a lot to the pioneers throughout women's history who fought for our right to receive an education, climb the corporate ladder and share our voice in democracy. We have seen women shatter glass ceilings and make notable contributions as political activists, teachers, entrepreneurs, Supreme Court justices, university presidents, Fortune 500 CEOs, moms-extraordinaire and even celebrities! Whether the woman in your life is your mother, sister, daughter, mentor, wife or best friend, take the time to acknowledge the wonderful impact they've made in your life.
Happy Women's History Month and Happy JABBING,
-Team JAB

Going Green
From Team JAB 
The fashion world has spoken JABBERS. Beating out all the other colors in the rainbow, Emerald has been named the new "it" color for spring 2013 by trend forecaster, Pantone Color Institute. So, it's out with Tangerine Tango (last year's "it" color) and in with vibrant shades of green. So, if you are looking at a closet full of orange, don't fret. With spring still a few weeks away, you can get a fashion jump-start by adding a green silk scarf or handbag to your wardrobe. Already in the (fashion) know? Then, share your style-savvy advice with JABBER Rebecca who is deciding on the perfect color dress to wear to her second wedding reception, or JABBER Portia who is searching for the perfect gloves. Happy shopping and Happy JABBING!
