Thank God It's Tuesday but, um, don't thank God for the ironically odd start the Buttonista's new life has gotten off to with Instagram and Facebook being down the day a full-time role doing social media begins. But despite that, the Buttonista's schedule is jam packed with a whole lotta new, from a new podcast studio setup with all the latest equipment, to the pre-my-best-friend's-wedding-jitters hence the loss of the train of thought here and there throughout the show.

THANK GOD IT'S TUESDAY! It's the Buttonista's last week working in the corporate world and aside having the freedom to be the hashtag #GirlBoss she was destined to be (just kidding), it's pretty obvious the most exciting opportunity is being able to head back to the gym and fit into those aspirational jeans again.  And also, have no fear fall is finally here --in fact it just started --so listen up for a few quick tips on how to enter into this new season in an organized, pumpkin-filled fashion. Nobody Asked Me, But...
