Monetizing Hobbies

In the modern day of social media there is an immense spotlight on being successful or getting there. From videos on how to find side hustles to those videos being the side hustle; we are in an age where everything is monetized. I do not like that. I am sorry I am someone who like to embroider and have been told when posting pieces on my story “you should sell this !” While I reply thanks, I…

Allbirds Mens Underwear Review

When I began to write this I felt a bit silly as I was going to write about my thoughts and experience using a pair of underwear. But after thinking about it, I thought that this is very much needed. Why? MAYBE TMI?? But I did not wear underwear till as of last year 2022. I did wear underwear occasionally, mostly in really cold weather; I live in Chicago, so the winters here are brutal and that’s…

How to Start Running

For majority of my life running has been associated with various negative memories. Examples like: running to the bus because I’m late, having to run laps around the gym longer than usual as punishment because someone walked, etc, etc. So when I wanted to begin to workout, I didn’t really know where to start. I tried various things and personally, they were ok, but not something I enjoyed. So…
