I was struck my an interesting infographic posted by Loyalty Traveler yesterday discussion the paid-time off habits of US workers. It begs the question – are you taking all your vacation time each year? It is a hot topic among some of my friends. A few report work cultures where vacation is limited to times…
It’s time for another Birchbox vs. Ipsy square off. Each month, I review the box vs. the bag and the overall haul to see which one wins for value and quality.

And then I remember that I fell into the rabbit hole of driving for UberX (including my live tweetalong last night which you can still read on Twitter via #virtualride) and keeping the content flowing here (something I do…
I have been known to do some crazy things just to satisfy my own curiosity about what something might be like. I also like to try new things and as a result, it has brought me some interesting adventures along the way. The latest of those ideas has been signing up to be an UberX…
We’ve talked about nutrition quite a bit here this week (when we weren’t talking about manufactured spending… wow, I really had no idea exactly how big that was until the comments started coming in!)
