To my total surprise, it’s an actual thing. On Monday, it was reported Doritos would be making “lady-friendly chips” that had the...

On to 2018!

It’s that time of year again … the malls are filled with Christmas songs and lights are hanging from every window in my neighborhood. In just a few weeks we’ll be entering 2018, and discussing our list of resolutions. (And 11 months later, we’ll be saying, “Wow. I can’t believe it’s already November. Time flies.”...

The Future is Feminine

I know everyone is in the midst of year-end craziness, so I’ll keep it short and sweet — girls rock! While the the holidays are just around the corner (and I’ve spent way too much time watching holiday movies on Netflix), I still find that my mind is already focused on 2018. This past year...
