Spring has sprung. As the northern hemisphere emerges from a rough winter, we are looking forward towards more sunny days. But many of us don’t look like we’re ready for it at all. Enter Hue Drops. The Glow Recipe Watermelon Hue Drops is the cousin of the Watermelon Dew Drops. Or rather, think of the…

The scent of Forest & Soul
With a name like Forest & Soul, I know what you might expect. Something green, maybe mossy, maybe wet, or at the very least “spiritual”. However, that isn’t exactly what this scent from Daniel’s Truth gives me. It has a quality that is more substantially floral than it is verdant. Maybe at the center of…

Not another networking event
I weaved in and out of the pockets of people. In the tight space, groups of three and four huddled together in conversations. Amidst the loud music and trays of appetizers, they were all connecting.

Some have waited in lines of four hours or more. That starkly contrasts with the past where a 1 hour wait was ridiculous. Travelers are getting to the airport…

Blessed Baraka was the scent I needed today
I had a week. It was one of those times where I was reminded over and over again of all my shortcomings, and none of my strengths. All I wanted was to find somewhere to hide away until everything got better. But unfortunately, I had an event to run. My first thought was to find…

My own race
The 15k never happened. After it was switched to a virtual option, I figured this was my chance to finally do the training. I counted back from the last date to submit my times and built out a training plan that I would definitely stick to because this time would be different. I would run…
