Selling My Soul To Gap and Grinning About It.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates Leave a Comment

I feel like a rock star.No, I’m serious. Last week, I got an email that I nearly skipped over. I often get emails that mention my blog and some product being a great fit, or how I should use some networking website, or that I can look sexxy for le$$. I’ve grown wary of email.Read the whole post >>
