Years ago I realized it made no sense to pack toiletries that you use at home. Not sure that’s a clear statement. I buy another toothbrush, deodorant, toothpaste, etc. and pack it days before my trip. They’re cheap. Having extras when you get home isn’t an issue because you’ll use it eventually. And you don’t have to…

I’ll consider two-weeks notice for resignation a necessity when society considers the same notice for termination.

Girl! Your hair is not having it! I bow down to those majestic tresses. On point.

Not just because I’ve been eating more Asian-inspired dishes, but to make with a wide variety of variations on rice-and-beans (my go-to is…

Sometimes it’s not even a full supply chain - it’s legitimately the same machine sorting into McCormick and Badia bottles.

I have gone to those as well. I grew up right by Little Saigon, and have been going there for years (shout-out to the Asian Garden Mall!). Hell, even the “big” Asian supermarket (99 Ranch) has most of the stuff I need. I just don’t live by one anymore, and it kinda sucks. But I have lots of Mexican supermarkets by…
