Top 5 Must-Haves for the Empowered Woman

Ranging from a toolkit to SPF Foundation, our top five must-have list reflects the various roles of today's woman. We chatted with some of our female members to comprise the top five list for this special issue of The NetWork.

1. Little Pink ToolKit
website: www.littlepinktoolkit.com

"Every tool in this 10-piece set is ergonomically designed for a woman's hand. Also, since I endorse businesses that give back, I was impressed that a percentage of each sale goes to fight breast cancer." - Editor's Pick

2. USB Flash Drive

"A definitive must-have for anyone on the go. Why run around with a
large bag filled with papers when you can take lots of information
with you on a USB flash drive? Everything's on computers these days
you could have your resume, presentations, contact information readily
available in a small device which fits in your palm." - Pati Argandona

3. Belkin Wireless-G Travel Router
website: www.belkin.com

"This has definitely been my saviour when I travel. One can easily hook this travel router to the ethernet cable at a hotel and surf the web wirelessly from ones bed within a 300 foot range.

Having this product definitely gives me a sense of empowerment, since I can check my email and surf the web from wherever I want in my room when I am on travel duty." -Whendhy Saines

4. Foundation with SPF
website to try: www.prescriptives.com

A foundation with sun protection to prevent wrinkles, [because]
appearance is everything when trying to move on up in the corporate world! - Farhanna Balgahoom

5. Health and Fitness

To keep you inspired, subscribe to a comprehensive magazine like Self magazine for the latest health, diet, and fitness tips.
Also, it is imperative to visit the gym regularly or hire a personal trainer. There are a bevy of gyms to choose from nowadays to suit your needs. While finding the perfect fit, take into consideration:
Proximity from work/home
Friendliness of staff
Classes offered
Condition of equipment
Diet/nutrition incorporated into regimen

Remember: work/life balance is important. The first step to empowerment is a healthy diet with exercise to keep you on top of your game!
