There often seems to be a direct correlation between the divey-ness of a bar and the strength of its pours. Odds are, the place shilling carefully measured $15 cocktails needlessly served in a coupe glass with a sprig of thyme prooooobably gives you less booze than the place with $4 vodka...
You resolved to read more, budget better, eat healthier and exercise more frequently, but only three weeks into the new year, the boring books, countless lentils and your perpetually throbbing thighs have you seriously considering reverting back to your old, unhealthy and much more chill ways. But...
Like everyone else hitting the New Year, you might be thinking about making some serious life changes, and that could mean switching careers. In which case, you might be wondering, “Am I too late? Or what about too old? Do I have to start over?” These are...
It can be painfully obvious, at times, when another human hates the gifts you gave them. But when you drop a brand new chew toy in front of your beloved pet and they immediately rip the thing to shreds, it can be difficult to tell whether they...

Sounds… uncomfortable. But is...
Picking out presents for friends and family can be precarious, sure. Picking out a present for you boss, though? The person who decides your workload and provides your paycheck? That’s a whole new ballgame. On the one hand, you want to impress them — on the other...
