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…

To be front row
As a child, at some point, I discovered Style TV. I would sit there watching their replays of fashion shows. And when that was over I would watch their original programming as women got makeovers and learned how the get the look for less. Younger me believed that I would have a life in fashion.…

We used to loathe uniforms
I remember a moment back when I was in school. The district wanted to move towards uniforms, to help cut down on bullying and limit dress code violations. There was public outcry. Students and parents vehemently protested against. What about free speech? Individuality? Choice? Ultimately, the people won out, and we never had to wear…

I was minding my own business online, when an ad popped up: Amanyara. This Aman resort in Turks and Caicos features villas over the crystal blue water. And like all properties in the brand, pure luxury abounds. While I continue to want to visit the Maldives at some point, this location seems to offer a…

The one thing I can say about myself
I’m going to try and answer this truthfully. And by truthfully, I mean not buying into any of the lies that can come with making mistakes publicly, messing up at work, or not being at the same place in life as friends in real life or online. I really like the way I can stick…

Remember Book It?
I was an avid reader as a child. I like to think that it was because I enjoyed getting carried away into a new world, like in the series of books by Lloyd Alexander. Books like The First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha and The Book of Three transported me into fantasy lands where I used…

The first 5k
Over ten years ago, I decided to sign up for my first 5k. I remember that moment now, as I look down at the sweatpants that I bought to train all winter in. I was so excited by the prospect of the race that I went on a shopping spree to buy everything I would…

Hunt for the magic planner
I’ve spent hours searching for the perfect agenda for me, just a planner that didn’t force me to schedule my day in a particular way, or shout out inspirational quotes, or assault me with stickers. I finally settled on one, only to find it didn’t magically organize my life for me. Such a waste of…

I wasted my time waiting in line, to get nothing but what I needed
While I was in Austin for SXSW, I got excited by the premiere of Holland, starring Nicole Kidman. I rushed over from my talk to make my way to the line. And then I was directed to the end. Several streets over. I held out hope, as I waited, telling myself the line wasn’t nearly…
