It’s Roundup time, which means your week is winding down. Which means time to take a break from all of that hard work and skim through the stories you’d kick yourself for missing. Since everyone loves a list, we’re showing you how much we care by bringing not one, not two, but three sassy breakdowns of the week’s highlights and lowlights and lessons we learned. Enjoy your Roundup fun!
- There’s a whole lot of talk about paying attention to the global needs of women and girls … but it’s not just talk! We’ve got the good news – 13 pieces of good news, to be exact – in Katherine Gustafson’s appropriately titled, “13 Pieces of Good News for Women and Girls.”
- Then dig through suggestions for creative ways to make the world a better place. Steve Enders breaks it down for you in “Innovate Today: 8 Ways Business Can End Poverty.”
- Think pink! (Couldn’t help myself.) Carrie Underwood may have enough pretty pink vibes to warrant an Opryland overhaul all by herself, but it seems the country music star has a higher purpose in mind. David Jenison tells us how “The Opry Gets Pretty in Pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
- We brought you tons of in-depth coverage from last week’s Clinton Global Initiative, and the jury is in: Ricky Martin is as much – if not more – on your activist radars than Damon or Pitt. It’s no trite cause, mind you. David Jenison has all the details in “Ricky Martin Tackles Trafficking.”
- Finally, Hit the Jenison trifecta with a list that’ll leave you smiling, no doubt: “Top 10 Ways to Be a Backpacking Diva.” From #2 (No Can Poo) to #6 (Wackpack), our Tonic Trekker has tips Hair Raising (#1) tips.
