The only time I ever pre-order or order special editions of anything is when Taylor Swift and Ali Hazelwood have new releases. Did I wait 11 minutes yesterday at checkout to pre-order “The Life of a Showgirl: It’s Frightening Limited Release Deluxe Edition” CD? Yes. Will there be other limited deluxe versions in the near…

I said that there was nothing I needed to buy during tax-free weekend, but I ended up ordering a spare pair of glasses. It’s the same style that I currently wear – the Mensa. I went with the taupe. I considered trying the other styles but the Mensa is just so comfortable. I’ve stopped wearing…

Finally got to check out this local brewery outpost of Roundhead Brewing Company yesterday. It has taken over the abandoned gas station with these awesome messages of “Making Sad Things Happy” greeting you as you make your way to the entrance.

Dunkin’ Halloween merch and, of course, donuts on the way. I don’t have the space for the 6ft inflatable Spider Donut, but the keychain and donuts I can do. The inflatable will be available at 12pm EST on 10/3 online and everything else in-store on 10/11. Embracing the fanfare around the Spider Donut, the brand…

1 min read
More e-commerce shops need to start adopting this way of showing product images on a range of body types so that we, as consumers, can better gauge how the item will work for us. I just wish the team incorporated this into the actual product image gallery instead of via email newsletter. The first time…

I needed to replace my old headphones — these fit over my ears and the bass is pretty decent. It will be perfect for my impending work commute. I didn’t want to spend a lot in case these get snatched off my head.
