I'm currently writing this post as I sit at a restaurant bar waiting for to-go food on a snowy Thursday night in January. The post-holiday blues got me down. Let's…
It’s not actually Valentine's Day yet, today is February 13th, Galentine's Day, a day to hang out with your gals, pals, friends, hell even your pets. Pets are friends people. …
Seriously, who came up with this idea? I get why–the ubiquitous cleanse from all the overindulging we did around the holidays. I say it’s all bullshit. Dry January is just…
