Women todayIn the past, women were often

referred to as the weaker sex. They were seen as overly emotional and were confined to their role as mistresses of the home, in charge of the childrearing and housekeeping but excluded from any real decision making. But today, the modern woman occupies many roles, — she is a mother, friend, lover, partner, confidante, employee, boss, colleague, volunteer, and the list goes on.

Of course, with all that to manage, it’s not all smooth sailing in a woman’s world. There are plenty of hurdles to jump over. Yet being a woman also has its share of privileges and pleasures. Here are a few:

• Enjoying her femininity and sensuality: wearing stiletto heels and sexy underwear; being proud of her

curves and showing them off.• Making the most of her beauty:

trying out new looks; treating herself to manicures.

• Playing at being a lady: being carried across the threshold by her husband on her wedding day; sitting on his shoulders to be able to see a live show; curling up lovingly against him on the couch.

• Expressing her emotions: being compassionate and not scared to admit her vulnerabilities; crying over a chic flic; dreaming of meeting the Right Guy.

• Experiencing motherhood: feeling life stirring within her; breastfeeding, kissing better little bumps and scrapes; and being on the receiving end of tons of unconditional love.

Solo women travelers: stay safe and have fun

Solo travel can be an interesting way to see the world. It also can be a rejuvenating way to get back in touch with personal goals and ideals.

Though many women travel alone without ever encountering a safety issue, it’s still important that women exercise caution and emphasize safety when traveling solo.

· Research safe places to travel. No locale in the world is completely safe, but doing your homework can help you find places that boast excellent track records with regard to safety. The travel website Escape Here put together a list of the world’s safest cities for women travelers. Topping the list were Copenhagen, Ottawa, Auckland,

Helsinki, and Hilo (The Big Island).· Be street smart. Travelers should

get a feel for the lay of the land, including which areas of a city or town may be safe during the day and night. Many people do not want to be wandering around alone late at night in unfamiliar surroundings. Walk purposefully so you look like you know where you are going. Withdraw cash from a bank or within a busy area in daylight hours. Keep valuables out of sight. Confirm public transportation schedules.

· Be aware of your surroundings. Always trust your gut instinct. If an area feels less than safe, do not feel foolish or that you are overreacting. Get to a group setting

or a busy area to feel safe. If you need assistance, ask a nearby shopkeeper for help or find a member of the local police force.

· Brush up on the cost of goods and services. Any traveler, male or female, is at risk of price gouging. Learn currency conversion rates and educate yourself about the costs of typical items, like food, transportation and lodging. This way you will know if someone is trying to take advantage of you.

· Enlist others to help. Ask the hotel manager to place you in a room close to the main floor or front desk. On trains, women traveling solo can usually reserve overnight rooms closest to the conductor. Consider registering with your local embassy

if you will be traveling in a foreign country for more than a few days. Consular services can be helpful in emergency situations.

· Work with an experienced travel agent. A travel agent will have insight on which areas, resorts and hotels may be most practical for solo travelers. An agent also may have information about solo-friendly tours and groups. There may be vacation packages that cater exclusively to those traveling alone.

Solo travel can be pleasurable and exciting for women and men alike. Exercising caution and employing common sense can help female travelers enjoy trips that are memorable for all the right reasons.

Job hunting tips for young women

Getting a foot in the door in your desired field is not always easy, but young women looking to land that first job out of college can consider the following tips to help them take that all-important first step toward a rewarding career.

· Decide on a path. Blindly searching for work or any old job is a recipe for an aimless search that likely won’t land you a job you enjoy. Choose what it is that you want to do and who you hope to do it for, and then you can proceed with a more refined search that does not include you spending time pursuing positions you don’t want.

· Don’t be afraid to seek advice. Once you determine some companies you may want to work

for, don’t be afraid to seek advice from people who already work for those companies. Even if such businesses don’t have any current openings, you might be able to schedule informational meetings. Treat such meetings like you would a job interview, asking questions about the industry and what you can do to get your foot in the door. Once such meetings have concluded, send a hand-written thank-you note to the person who took time out of their day to give you the informational meeting.

· Learn from each job interview. Many people, especially young people just starting out, go through many job interviews before finally landing a job. Each interview is not just an opportunity to land a job or

hone your interviewing skills, but also a chance to learn what employers are looking for. Many interviews for entry-level jobs are similar regardless of the industry, so make note of your responses that went over well and those that might need a little more work.

· Be prepared to explain why you should be hired. Job seekers should be able to explain both their enthusiasm for the job and why they are right for that job. Keep your description of your capabilities concise, but don’t be afraid to confidently state why you are the best possible candidate.

· Look for volunteering opportunities. After you have targeted a field you want to work

in, you may find that there are few paying opportunities within that field. But you might be able to volunteer or even pursue an internship if you only recently graduated from college. Volunteering or accepting an unpaid internship is a great way to start making some contacts and gaining some legitimate experience, and working for free might just indicate to prospective employers that you are serious about pursuing a particular career and not just landing a job.

Young women may be met with a difficult job market upon graduating from college. But there are ways to make job hunts easier and land the job of your dreams.

Fitness tips for busy moms

Working mothers have a lot on their plates. In addition to the responsibilities that come with raising a family, working moms also must focus on their careers.

Many mothers find that managing such hectic balancing acts leaves little time for physical fitness. But there are ways for working moms to stay physically fit even as they juggle their commitments to career and family.

· Work out in the early morning. Working out when the kids are still asleep and the office has yet to open, is a great way for busy working mothers to get their daily exercise. The United States Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults get

at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week, and women who get up just 45 minutes earlier each morning can meet those requirements and then some. An added benefit to working out in the early morning is that many people who follow such regimens insist they have more energy throughout the rest of the day.

· Exercise with the kids. Working mothers looking to find time for exercise can turn part of family time into a time to exercise with their children. Play in the yard with youngsters while dinner is cooking or go for nightly post-meal walks. Exercising with kids is a great way for mothers to get their daily exercise while also instilling a love of

physical activity in their children.· Have a backup plan on hand.

Working out at a gym can be motivational, as many mothers want to make sure their monthly membership fees aren’t going to waste. But there will inevitably be days when working mothers can’t get to the gym. Prepare for such days by purchasing home workout DVDs you can play while the kids are doing their homework or after they have gone to bed.

· Look for gyms with childcare. Many gyms now offer on-site childcare to parents of young children who can’t stay home alone while their folks are at the gym. Gyms that offer on-site childcare may prove more reliable and even

less expensive than hiring a sitter, and some gyms even offer fitness programs to youngsters, helping to ensure kids get the daily exercise they need as well.

· Exercise during lunch breaks. If possible, squeeze in your daily exercise during lunch breaks. Take advantage of on-site exercise facilities if your company offers them. If not, take your lunch outside and then go for a walk around the campus or a nearby park rather than eating at your desk.

Finding time to exercise is a common dilemma for working mothers. But there are some creative ways for moms to stay fit without affecting their commitments to work and family.

Which doctor to see and when

Women who split their health management among different doctors may not know which doctor to turn to when their health comes into question. They may ask themselves, “Is this issue best addressed by a family doctor or a gynecologist?”

There are instances when certain healthcare questions are best answered by specialists. The following information can help women determine which doctor to see when certain situations arise.

• Annual physicals: Gynecologists and family doctors can conduct physical examinations. Both can order blood lab tests and urinalysis to check cholesterol levels and for any vitamin deficiencies. Heart rate,

blood pressure, weight, and height are other screenings that can be handled at either office.

• Bacterial and yeast infections or urinary tract infections: A general practitioner or gynecologist can address these infections. A gynecologist may be more experienced at identifying problems and ordering appropriate follow-up exams. A family doctor may not require an examination unless you request it and may treat broad symptoms.

• Colds and coughs: Ccommon colds and coughs are best left to general practitioners who diagnose respiratory and bronchial conditions daily.

• Mood disorders: If changes in

mood seem to stem from hormones or the result of a pregnancy, a gynecologist or obstetrician may have treatment options available that can alleviate specific triggers. Both a family doctor or a gynecologist may refer a patient to a mental health specialist if the situation seems to warrant more action.

• Nutrition and weight loss: Many patients see a family doctor to seek advice on adopting a healthy diet. Some medical offices have a nutritionist on staff who can offer food counseling and exercise advise.

• Infertility: It is best to visit a gynecologist or obstetrician to talk about any infertility issues. Such doctors have more intimate

knowledge of the female reproductive system and could be more learned regarding the latest therapies and studies.

• Cancer screening: PAP tests and breast exams can be performed at either doctor’s office, although patients may feel more comfortable if a gynecologist performs these screenings.

It is important to note that not all gynecologists are obstetricians. Some handle women’s reproductive issues but do not deliver children. Patients who prefer a doctor knowledgeable about reproductive health and won’t be busy handling child deliveries should select a gynecologist.

Tips for women juggling a family and a career

The days when single income households were the norm are long gone, as nowadays both Mom and Dad must work in order to make ends meet. That reality has left many women juggling the obligations of motherhood with the obligations of a successful career.

The following are a few tips to make balancing work and family a little easier.

• Share the responsibilities. Women may still feel the responsibility to cook family meals, clean up after the children and make it to all of their children’s sporting events or other school-related events. But those responsibilities should be shared so women can ensure they’re giving both their careers and families

the attention each deserves. Devise a schedule where both parents tackle such responsibilities equally so each parent knows when they have some wiggle room.

• Exercise daily. Juggling a family and a career is often stressful, and stress can have a very adverse effect on your health. Women with high stress levels are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and cardiovascular disease. But the American Psychological Association notes the positive impact of exercise as a means to alleviating stress, citing studies that have shown that physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than people who are sedentary

• Stay involved with your child’s

school. Many mothers find staying active with their children’s school is a great opportunity for them to bond with their kids and keep abreast of developments at their school. Such involvement can be minimal, such as attending a monthly luncheon with kids or agreeing to be a chaperone on one or two class trips per year.

• Take advantage of work-from-home policies. As technology has advanced, many companies have become much more lenient with regard to employees working from home. If your company allows you to work from home, even if it’s only once per week, then take advantage of that offer. This can provide more time with your kids, it will likely save you money on

childcare, and you are certain to appreciate the opportunity to skip your daily commute, even if it is only once a week or a couple of times per month.

• Plan ahead. Looking ahead is another way to make juggling a family and a career easier. Plan meals in advance to cut down on preparation time when it’s your night to cook.

Another way to plan ahead is to look at kids’ school schedules and plan trips during the school year when school won’t be in session. A three-day weekend is a perfect opportunity to plan a getaway to a nearby locale where the whole family can relax and reconnect without the pressures of daily life.

F GHT LIKE A GIRL

I came across this quote one evening online. I think it speaks to what our Palouse Women’s Expo is all about. I love being a strong woman and I love all the women and men that helped me become who I am today. Being a woman is a fascinating thing, isn’t it? We cannot be defined easily; we are gentle, strong, brave, smart, silly and so much more. We enjoy heated political debates, business meetings, playing on the floor with our kids, shopping, gardening, crafting and rooting for our favorite sports teams.

To me, being a strong women means supporting others in whatever thier dreams may be. We must empower one another, listen to each other and help each other grow.

I’d like to thank all the businesses who helped our first Palouse Women’s Expo become a reality. I believe it will grow each year and help women on the Palouse. Please reach out with love and encouragement to your fellow women. Together we can all reach our dreams.

See you at the expo.

Sincerely,Angela Kay, Advertising DirectorLewiston Tribune and Moscow-Pullman Daily News
