I was recently visiting a college friend of mine in North Carolina. I was standing in his kitchen as he tossed his mail onto the counter and I instinctively pulled out a postcard that grabbed my attention. I can’t decide if it was genius, or a waste of money…but I’m going with the former for […]
I don’t know if it is a result of the pandemic and so many people having to spend time on their own, but I’ve noticed so many more people taking up activities they might not have otherwise. From baking bread to a scary level of home organization to fat-burning workout routines, everyone seems to be […]
