WingStop wants you to know they have protein
Scrolling down my feed I saw that Wingstop has a new offering: their Protein Pack. As they say, it is “packed” with 160 grams of protein. Honestly that sounds pretty good to me right now. But here’s the thing, isn’t just their regular wings with a compelling new name? Yes, yes it is just literally…

When older is better
When I think of luxury, I think of those storied brands and retailers. There is something about the length of time they’ve been around that adds to the prestige. Often times, older is seen as better. Were you established before a world war? Perfect! Before the French Revolution? Even better! But does older really mean…

How my day’s been going
The constant scroll has caught me in her trap. An endless string of videos have held my attention instead of my responsibilities. Just like all those other times before. Looking back into my past, I can see how I’ve similarly messed up. It is to look to the past to make assumptions about my now.…

Unapologetically vain
“Hey, do you have any resolutions for this year?” “Yes, I plan to be more vain.” There were two responses to my answer. The first was questioning all the time I’d be spending in the mirror. The other was thoughts of all the makeup and fashion that would be entering my life. My real reasoning…

Watching squirrels go by
As I walked around Boston Commons, I saw a curious thing: Squirrel photo sessions. People feeding squirrels. People gleefully pausing to try and interact with squirrels. It was baffling to me.

A fashion field trip
From my youth, I have always wanted to visit Paris. I was into fashion after all. I of course needed to head to fashion capital of the world at some point, as an almost completion of the mission. However now, my view has expanded. Fashion is global. Of course, New York is dominant on the…

Training wheels
I thought it’d be temporary. I thought that the need to write everything down, keep a tight schedule, and organize everything was a phase, just a moment in my life to get me through school. I thought that as a serious adult working a real job that i was done with that. So I let…

My favorite hotel is becoming a chain
Equinox Hotel in New York City is by far my favorite hotel. Now, the brand is branching out with a property coming to Amaala in 2026. I never planned to visit Saudi Arabia before, but now I’m intrigued. Right now, the site is only set up for notification sign-ups. I am going to pop in…

The walkout
Getting back into my fitness routine, I decided to register for a 7 AM boxing class. It’s an exercise I enjoy enough to make the effort to get up that early. I rushed in just in time, only to see a nearly empty room and no instructor. At 7:05, the instructor came dancing in. “We’ll…
