Not only is it a day of candy, costumes and fun – it’s Friday! It’s always fun to see what brands are doing for this holiday; we love this spooky Geico commercial and Trulia’s Haunted Open House video. What’s your favorite Halloween campaign this year?
It’s also the perfect day to treat yourself, so grab another Reese’s pumpkin (we won’t tell) and check out this week’s #THRIVEable Friday post, our weekly roundup of articles, apps and more we’re loving. Trick or treat!
Entrepreneurship…LIKE A BOSS.

Overwhelmed at work? When your to-do list is a mile long and the end of your work day is nowhere in sight, it’s easy for the stress to pile on and take over your life. This post from Inc offers 7 tips for boosting your productivity and getting through an overwhelming day.
Make Sure You’re Ready to Hire.

Mashable lists four questions business owners should ask before placing that “want” ad.
How to Small Talk (for those who can’t).
Nobody loves small talk, but it’s a necessary evil in many social situations. For many, it’s hard to think of neutral topics that aren’t about the weather. This video from Business Insider includes tips for making small talk so you’re prepared for that interview/business meeting/networking event.
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
We love using Instagram to share and view photos and videos, but sometimes it’d be easier to see everyone’s pets, brunch and travel pics on a larger screen – which is why we heart the Instagram extension for Chrome. This extension makes it super easy to like, comment and explore Instagram like you can on your Chrome and lets you see the photos in a larger size. Also, no more accidental double taps! What’s not to like?
