Do brands have a responsibility to your health?
The government is legislating trans fats. Schools are trying to get soft drinks and unhealthy snacks banned from vending machines. Obesity and diabetes are two health issues that will cost tax payers millions if not more in the future (another expense to be borne by Gen Y).

Banyan Tree Resort: A Brand Experience in Paradise
In the dead of winter, I think back on a vacation I took at the Banyan Tree Resort in the Maldives – an experience I will never forget.
That week was spent under the sun, with the ocean right outside my villa. I walked on the whitest and softest sand in the world, swam in the [...]
Jet Set Millennial – Getting The Best of Every Brand
I live in two countries. I go to school in the USA and, although I spend only three months a year in Bulgaria, I still say that I live in Bulgaria. Both of them have their obvious perks and benefits. Both of them have their obvious negatives. One adjusts to the good and the bad, [...]
Millennials Adore: Luxe For Less
Looking and feeling fabulous without hitting the spending limit on your plastic sounds like an oxymoron, right? Well not for savvy gen-yers who shop at the likes of Target and H&M (while yes H&M has been under scrutiny recently by many due to their questionable philanthropic model, I’m still keeping them on this list for [...]
Hey Brands, Get Out Of My Social Media Grill
by Armando Samuels
Sorry, Burger King, but I don’t want to be your friend on Facebook & Cap’n Crunch, you need to stop trying to follow me on twitter.
I’m tired of dealing with brands all over social media, I need a minute of my day when brands are not all up on my shit. Is that [...]

Matt Cadwallader: So the big announcement has come and the world has been introduced to the much-hyped Apple iPad. Although it looks like a cool device, truthfully I’m a bit underwhelmed by it. First of all, I’m not all [...]
Minx Nails: Fingertip Fashion à la Beyoncé
I’m addicted to nail polish. I buy it often, I wear it always, and I prefer colors outside of classic pale pinks and fire engine reds. When I heard I could spice up my digits beyond glitter polish and crazy shades, I knew this was my next step in achieving fabulousness on my fingertips. My nails were about to get Minxed.
Collecting Culture
I’ve been a collector my whole life, purposefully amassing various trinkets from rocks to trading cards. In fact, there are several full-series collections of Marvel Comics trading cards from the early ’90s collecting dust in my closet.
And though my days of swapping cardboard portraits of Daredevil and The Punisher are long gone, the urge to [...]
Season’s Greetings, Netbook
It’s another Sunday afternoon and I’m parked in front of my TV with my laptop in front of me, cycling through NFL scores and stats for my fantasy football team.
Recently, I began thinking about the insane number of hours I spend in front of two screens–the TV and my laptop. Every time I watch TV, [...]
It Takes Two Men To Make This Woman Happy
There is no denying it. I’m in love. But the problem is that it’s with two men: Ben and Jerry.
They make some of the most delicious ice cream I’ve ever tasted and it’s even gotten to the point where I work for them now. I’m an ice cream scooper at a Scoop Shop less than [...]
