Black Friday and Me

I have a checkered past with Black Friday. I love it and hate it at the same time. The love is the deals. The hate is getting up early and braving the DC Metro traffic and the crowds!   Did I mention how crowded the stores are? Crowded as in you have to wait in a...

Review: True Lemon

I saw a tweet about @truelemon and my head spun around really fast. What was this? A product? It sounded so good and refreshing. Or was it a really creative twitter name? I had no idea, so I clicked to see what it was all about. Twitter is very clickable…you wouldn’t believe the people, places, and products I have...
