one of my personal projects keeping me busy in between other things is a re-brand of our company. this is a little peek at what’s to come. our new logo and company name - being wicked. once the site is launched, i can go into more details. we’ve debated on a lot of things, but hopefully we’ve made some great steps in the right direction for us and where we want our company to be in the coming years.

Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears are two talented entrepreneurs. I’ve been a fan of theirs for some time and back in February I talked about resources for women entrepreneurs on ATG. I had mentioned their new book, The Boss of You as a great resource, although it wasn’t even out yet. A tad presumptuous perhaps, but I know they have sound, informative and invaluable advice to share, so I could take a leap of faith. I am really excited to have these two fine ladies guest blog on All Things Girl tomorrow as part of their Blog Book Tour. I’m really looking forward to reading what they post.

We, at ATG, also want to I invite all our readers to de-lurk and comment tomorrow as we will randomly pick one lucky commenter to receive a free copy of The Boss of You. So, if you are keen to get your hands on a great book, or just looking for some really good advice on being a good boss, make sure to head over tomorrow.

We recently launched the May-June issue of All Things Girl - Sacrifice. It’s still very much a labour of love, and maybe because of that each time we launch a new issue I get a little warm-happy feeling inside.

In this latest issue I interviewed author, foodie rockstar and truly wonderful friend, Felicia. I’ve mentioned Felicia’s book, The Sky Isn’t Visible from Here, before and for this interview I got to ask Felicia a few questions about her book, and then of course food. Our conversations must always get to food eventually. I “met” Felicia online back in 2002. She, along with 4 other people, had items in the very very first All Things Girl issue. Yep, we’ve known each other for a really long time, but sadly have yet to meet in person. One day soon though. I owe her a few great dinners at least, and perhaps she can give me a lesson or two in the kitchen. She has always been incredibly supportive and, thanks to her, Dynamic Vantage has received a number of clients via word of mouth.

I’m working with her and Suzanne on a new project which I am really so excited about - Crave The Dish (didn’t I say everything comes back to food?). I am hoping to have more on this in the coming weeks. I’m pretty chuffed with how the design has turned out, so I’m looking forward to getting it all built out and ready for launch!

Please take a minute out of your day to sign this petition. Perhaps you can take an extra minute to then spread the word as well.

Dockworkers in South Africa have blocked a Chinese arms boat from reaching Zimbabwe… but the crackdown continues. As the ship moves up the Southern African coast looking for a new port–and China weighs whether to recall the weapons–African unions, citizen groups, and church organisations are launching a campaign to stop arms from fuelling the Zimbabwe crisis.

If you need some incentive, simply visit This is Zimbabwe and view some of the photos of what is happening to people in Zimbabwe. Their crime? Voting against a tyrannical party. Expressing their freedom to vote. Speaking out. Forewarning: some of the photos are rather difficult to view.

Some odd things happening with this site today. Seemed to have had some DB issues and lost a few things - namely some pages. No train smash, but it is annoying. I do plan to redesign anyway, so maybe this will be the catalyst to that. Or not.
