In these uncertain times, the possibility exists that your child may test positive, and have to leave his or her dorm for a quarantine location. It’s probably a VERY GOOD idea to have a pre-packed quarantine bag in his or her closet. It would be so much easier to ask a roommate to grab “the blue Nike bag in my closet and my laptop” than to try to figure out what he or she will want/need for two weeks.

COVID-19 QUARANTINE GO BAG:
  • Extra cell phone charger
  • List of important peoples’ phone numbers written out,
  • List of any allergies
  • 2 or more complete changes of comfy clothes: sweats, PJ Pants, T’s, Fuzzy Socks
  • Fleece throw (take the tiniest one in the house and squish it into an XL Baggie, then force the extra air out.)
  • Thermometer
  • Body Lotion/baby oil
  • Feminine Hygiene,
  • Toothbrush, Toothpaste,
  • Shampoo/Conditioner,
  • Hair comb/brush, Hair Ties

  • Tissues

Good luck to all of the college students and also to their parents!
Stay healthy.


What’s the good news, ladies? Even more women changing the industry.

3rd-installment

For our third installment highlighting women who are changing our industry, I’m going to introduce three more  three amazing ladies.  These three are rock star recruiters from Guardian, MassMutual and Penn Mutual.

(Be sure to read our first and second installment of the series.)

I met each of these women by being part of organizations like WIFS, NAIFA and GAMA.  I’ve found that when you connect with women who are involved with industry organizations, they mean business and are always looking to develop themselves and the people around them.
