  • Aqua Media is what I want you to smell like

    Aqua Media Cologne Forte from Maison Francis Kurkdijan is what I imagine the perfect man would smell like smells proper, clean, a bit like being hit by the ocean breeze. There is leisure, a bit of calm collectedness in this fragrance. Yes, there is something deeply, powerfully, yet gently masculine, but I certainly don’t mind…

  • On hard mode

    I saw an article from Psychology Today that asked me the question: Are you living life on hard mode? It is a callback towards video games, where you get to choose the difficulty level of play.  Go through the world unencumbered with an easier path to victory or put more challenges in your way towards…

  • This Delta change scares me

    I’m well aware of dynamic pricing. You know? How different sporting events for the same team will differ based on their opponents and seats in the stadium. Or how the room rate depends on when you book, overall vacancies, and the hotel’s projections on how popular a particular time period will be for travelers. But…

  • What vs why

    So you want to increase your sales. You want to get more customers. You want to hit your goals. Great. I hope you do it all. But have you asked yourself, the bigger questions: Why and how? Don’t get me wrong, you should definitely create goals. However, you need to make sure you create a…

  • Products or services

    Do you offer a product or a service? Trick question, I didn’t actually give you an option choose from. If you offer a service, you offer product. The real question is, “Do you offer a good or a service?” This is the thing that gives me a tension headache, right in the middle of my…

  • The Starbucks secret menu does exists, and it can earn you 25K

    Okay, if you have followed former and current Starbucks baristas on the internet, you will know how the secret menu has been the bane of their existence. Customers come up and order something like a princess drink, or unicorn Frappuccino, or death coffee with the expectation that the employees are full aware of the recipes…

  • Even when you don’t feel like it

    I have to admit, this is one of those days when I don’t feel like writing. Scrolling Reddit for information on topics I never thought of before sounds so much more enjoyable. But  if I want to be a better writer, I just need to stay consistent. I don’t have to be perfect, just consistent.…

  • A fragrance for a bombshell

    One of my least favorite activities is taking pictures of myself. And yet, there I was, tasked with having headshots taken. As I got ready that  morning, I knew exactly the scent I should try: Bombshell by Daniel’s Truth. The name alone called to mind the greatest supermodels and how well they would command the…

  • The close-up

    I was told that I needed to update my photos. Begrudgingly, as a camera dodger, I complied. In truth, I do my best to avoid getting my image captured because I have never liked myself in pictures.  There is always something to pick apart. The eyes caught mid or full blink. The evidence of weight…
