If I deserve a treat…
Just a quick musing: Yesterday was Treat Yo’ Self Day, the holiday proclaimed by characters on the sitcom Parks and Recreation. I noticed that no brands have seem to taken advantage of this. There was no cheeky reference to the show, no recommendation to make special purchases, no additional pushes to buy. That’s all well…

You deserve a treat
Today, as I write this, is Treat Yo Self Day, October 13. Or rather, it’s a day where Tom and Donna, two characters on the tv series Parks and Rec, took part in annual self-care and splurging. And now, fans of the show do, too. It seems silly, taking on a fictional character’s holiday of…

More protein, featuring your Starbucks run
Starbucks recently debuted a series of high protein drink options. At the base of the drinks is essentially a “protein milk” or “protein cold foam.” You could add this option in to pretty much any drink. Personally, I would only do it iced. If you’ve ever been super into your fitness and added protein powder…

A little truth about skincare
My life right now has been oddly busy. All of it has had to do with the choices that I have made, with the hope that it will all pay off. This is especially difficult, because I feel like I’m putting in a lot of work and seeing zero results. But I trust this will…
