Business story for Indian Country Today by Tania Casselle.
American Indians with a flair for business are invited to pick up their briefcases and head for Texas. Currently, only 0.5 percent of the nation’s students enrolled in Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses are American Indian, but a new initiative from The Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas aims to boost those numbers.

Something Old, Something New by Tania Casselle for U Magazine.
From red carpet to city street, vintage clothing is in demand, whether it’s Jennifer Aniston’s ‘70s Halston number at the Emmy’s, or a corporate guy’s sharp Rat Pack suit.
Authentic vintage has been boosted by modern designers, whose vintage-inspired collections sometimes make it hard to tell old from new. Vintage VIPS Penelope Cruz, Renee Zellweger and Sarah Jessica Parker add a celebrity seal of approval – after all, nobody’s going to call SJP a Second-Hand Rose when she sports a vintage Mickey Mouse T-shirt. And who can fault ‘Scissorhands’ Johnny Depp’s knack for snipping together vintage-inspired looks from across several decades? Let alone his fabulous fedoras.
“There used to be just a small group of loyal vintage-holics, who wore vintage whether it was trendy or not,” says Jim Smiley, of the eponymous Manhattan store. “Now celebrities wear it, everyone sees it in magazines and on TV, and they all want it.”
Full feature, plus tips on where and how to shop vintage, available for reprint.
The Art of Doing Nothing by Tania Casselle for Bally Total Fitness magazine.
One day of solo retreat can recharge the batteries, nourish your soul and send you back into the world with a fresh perspective.
“We all need to step outside the frame and look at the big picture periodically,” says Tim O’Brien, director for the Institute for Stress Management. “Taking a personal retreat gives you a way to look at where you’re headed. Do you like the direction of your life? If not, what changes should you make? It’s difficult to make good decisions if you don’t remove yourself from the normal routine.”
If you think you’re too busy to carve a whole day out of your schedule, think again.

If you believe the stories that made Roswell famous, visitors to this town have arrived from much farther away than any airport. But beyond Roswell’s reputation as an intergalactic portal to planet Earth, the city is a gateway to Southeastern New Mexico, offering desert-to-mountain landscapes and year-round leisure activities.

Smart Homes cover feature by Tania Casselle for Mix Future Interiors.
“Please pick up a pint of milk on your way home.” It’s not a text message from your partner, it’s from your fridge. As you step in the front door, your favorite music plays. The blinds sweep closed, the lights are low, except for the lights leading a path to the bedroom.
The house is at the temperature you like, and in the background you hear the bath filling. It’s still nothing to do with your partner; the romantic mood is set by your house, anticipating your every desire. The only thing your home can’t do is undress you and tuck you into bed. But give it time.
Smart homes, intelligent homes, digital homes, automated homes… there’s no single term for it yet, but we’re talking buildings with brains. Read the full feature in 628 KB PDF.
“If you forget everything you were ever told about wine, remember this,” says Bob Witham of Two Rivers Winery. “When wine comes in, secrets come out.”
