Wassup, Obama
Years ago, Budweiser put out what will be referred to their Wassup ad. Released during the 2000 Super Bowl coverage, it shows a group of friends communicating with each other on the phone simply saying Wassup. It became a cultural phenomenon. (Just imagine the pain of a middle school teacher having to deal with all…

Not just marketing
The best movements, those that changed the course of human history, came because they shifted how people thought. They either felt inspired to move towards a better world, or they got on board for fear of losing what they had. I have been wondering that while there are no products to be sold, maybe that,…

The end of another era, this time at Valentino
Mr. Valentino Garavani was pronounced dead. Though he had already retired from his eponymous label, the loss still sent ripples through the fashion world. He was the last Italian gentleman, as they said. I never met the man. I never wore a single piece of Valentino clothing or accessories that he designed. And yet, even…

The best Sol de Janeiro option for dry skin
This feels like round 2. Yesterday I wrote about the Delica Drench scent, Cheirosa 59, from Sol de Janeiro. I’m starting to really like the scent.
