Just a reminder: UGG sells more than “UGGs”
As the weather gets colder, I find the shoes I keep coming back to are my UGGs. Let me clarify, not those UGGs. They are waterproof leather boots with the classic sheep lining. I have a black pair and a brown pair that laces up. These are not your early 2000s UGGs. That is the…

Never enough time

This will be a subpar post
I have about an hour until midnight, or about an hour left to make good on my goal of posting everyday. I am out of ideas. I am tired. I have more things left to do for work. The last thing I want to be doing right now in between yawns is working on a…

The question to ask yourself every morning
