When Trip Advisor Gets You Thrown Out of Your Hotel

There’s nothing worse than having bad breath and not realizing the source of that stank-mouth is you.  Here’s a simple test you can do right now to test your breath.  Lick the back of your hand.  Let the spit air dry.  Now, smell your hand.  If your dry spit has no odor, your breath is fine.  If, however, your dried spit smells a little funky, then you need to take fast action to get yourself into the realm of neutral breath — not “minty fresh” or flavored breath — just breath that smells like “nothing.”

The Vox amPlug Review

I love my ’65 Fender Princeton Reverb Amp — but there are times in a beginner Bluesman’s life when you need quiet and discretion while rehearsing or recording.  Enter the Vox series of amPlug “speaker replacements” that allow you to practice and perform in private with some of the greatest sounds you will ever hear.

The Feed Granola Review

As someone who has recently gone vegan I have been reaching out for new and exciting foods to eat. While I am not quite ready for an 80/10/10 diet with almost nothing but fruit, I do like finding foods that I can eat in the morning.
