 | IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS.COM | STARBUCKS IS REALLY GOING FOR IT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON with their promotions. Here’s the latest one: “The Starbucks Run” promotion.

I’ve done it myself, on occasion. Promotion Details Buy 4 Grande-sized Starbucks beverages between 2pm and...

MAKING EVEN A GOOD, SIMPLE FRUIT SMOOTHIE REQUIRES A LITTLE PRACTICE. Or, it requires a recipe from someone who’s had practice! My fiance Therese and I drink smoothies all the time, and this is her easy fruit smoothie she takes to work in the morning. Once you get the hang of making your own smoothies, you can customize them easily and endlessly! It becomes very easy to make your own smoothies without a recipe. I rarely make my smoothies the exact same way twice. I’m usually in the...

A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY OLD BLUETOOTH HEADSET (FROM 2013) STARTED DYING, so I needed a replacement. I immediately found that Bluetooth headsets have gotten a lot more advanced in the last four years. The Apple Airpods Are Good, But They Cost $159.99 A few months ago, a friend of mine let me try out his new Apple Airpods. For the unfamiliar, Airpods are completely wireless Bluetooth earbuds that also contain microphones, allowing them to double as fully-wireless headsets. Cool. Once I tried...

 IF YOU STILL DON’T HAVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, or are looking to upgrade, the lights at Christmas Designers are extremely highly-rated by all, as far as I can tell. I came across their website because I was searching everywhere for high-quality “full-wave rectified” LED Christmas lights. What the heck does that mean? Well, most LED Christmas lights are only “half wave rectified”, meaning the lights will turn on and off (perceived as a flicker) 60 times per second....

   | PHOTO FROM IKEA.COM | IKEA WINS AGAIN WITH THEIR VERY POPULAR POÄNG ARMCHAIR, one of my all-time favorite IKEA products A good friend of mine bought two black leather IKEA POÄNG Armchairs years ago, and still uses them daily. They’ve held up extremely well. The leather looks perfect and the cushions, though the padding is possibly slightly worn, are still very comfortable. When I needed some inexpensive leather armchairs, I looked around, but nothing compared to the value and...

THE PUNISHER MUST BE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE LATIN SAYING, “REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE.” He’s wanted death for the whole season and before. Ever since he woke up after his family was killed, he’s been kind of a ghost. He doesn’t take the saying the way it’s meant, though. It’s supposed to tell you to live life while you still have it. Until the last episode, The Punisher has had a deathwish all through this season. In the last episode, he finally decided he wanted to...
