What do your mornings look like? What do they sound like? The Mash-Up is a voice-activated blender that lists off smoothie ingredients so you can kickstart your day with a nutritious burst of flavor. When you’re ready, just ask it to “Mash Up.”Now, what do your mornings taste like?

Headaches. We all get them. We all wish they would go away. There is a solution. Excedrin. I just take two and there’s no more tension, no more throbbing, no more pain. My headache completely gone. 

 It’s a mindset. A focus. A deep seated spirit. It’s an inner strength to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground, no matter what presses against you. It’s confidence. It’s belief. It’s a way of life. It’s Nike. 

Whoever said that a smell can bring back a flood of memories, was certainly right. Whenever I use Pine Sol in my home, I’m brought back to visiting my Grandmother as a little girl. She always kept her house smelling fresh. I have Pine Sol to thank for that. 


Whenever I feel like a sweaty slob, there is one assurance that gives me peace of mind. Deodorant. Just one wipe under each arm pit and I am good to go for days. Heck, I don’t even need to shower for one whole week. That’s how good this shizz is.
