  • OWL Bakery in Asheville- A petite review

    If you are planning a stop in Asheville North Carolina, you likely got a host of recommendations for breweries. Presumably you don’t need another one to add to your itinerary. How about you give a bakery a try: OWL Bakery. We stopped by their West Asheville location early Saturday morning. We were lucky to do…

  • Hear me out. You need to add The South Slope Cheese Co. to your Asheville itinerary

    The South Slope Cheese Co. in Asheville, North Carolina is now probably on the list of my wallet’s most horrifying nightmares. I cannot be trusted in any grocery store, let alone a specialty one. But pardon me, it is not a cheese shop; it is a fromagerie. They sell a selection of not just award-winning…

  • Smelling By the Fireplace

    I had a coworker once, who I didn’t care for, but I didn’t mind so much when he was around because smelled amazing. So I would always ask, “Why do you smell so good?” And the answer was always the same: By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela. Because of the name, I had always assumed…

  • Chasing imperfection

    The socks are thrown in the draw, in singles instead of properly coupled with their mate. The broccoli is cooked in a steamer bag, instead of tossed with oil and seasoning and then baked at 450 degrees. The hair washed and then conditioned for 1 minute instead of undergoing a deep condition and steam treatment.…

  • The consumer is the marketer

    Back in the day, when you saw a funny ad, that was it. You maybe told someone else about to check if they saw it too. If you were really quick, you could quickly press record on your VCR and keep that video forever. Or maybe tear out the page of the magazine and put…

  • Why the Calvin Klein ad went viral

    If you haven’t seen the recent Jeremy Allen White Calvin Klein ads, you might be intentionally avoiding them. They are everywhere. As they say, they have gone viral. So if you weren’t hit with targeted ads, or passing by a billboard, chances are that someone showed it to you. But why is that? Why have…

  • Calvin Klein ads are working

    I wonder, when the team at Calvin Klein got together to devise their advertising strategy, did they have this media whirlwind in mind? How to you even account for virality when you determine how to invest your marketing dollars? Between the number of views and shares for the images of Jeremy Allen White and the…

  • A naked man is a joke.

    I was in the folk art museum is Asheville, observing the wooden sculpture of an artist whose name now escapes me. Among the delicately carved, busy carnival scene, were families enjoying themselves, people riding the roller coaster, a naked man running through the scene. I imagine it brought a smile to the carver’s face, something…

  • I adore this smoothing body cream from OLEHENRIKSEN

    Straight to the point. I really like the OLEHENRIKSEN BeamCream Smoothing Body Moisturizer. I am on my second jar of this at this point. I decided to first try this after the Sol de Janeiro wasn’t moisturizing enough for me. This surprised me with how well it worked for my skin. It is a thick…
