Ricola at the Water Tower

We could all use a laugh in these times, no?

I decided to have some fun at the Water Tower here in Louisville yesterday afternoon, please enjoy!

Also, here’s my second take… by this point I was laughing too hard to blow into the Vuvuzela properly!

One Year Later: Tumi Annapolis Zip Flap Bag

Last Sunday was the one year anniversary of the day I walked into my local Tumi location and purchased my current bag, Tumi’s Annapolis Zip Flap Bag, in Hickory.

When I reviewed the Annapolis last year, I praised it effusively, and I’ve raved about it to many people since then. In the last year, I’ve used it intensively, enough that I eventually decided I wanted to write this, a retrospective on the Tumi Annapolis with my thoughts on the bag after a full year of solid use.

Spoiler alert: I have never owned a better bag in my life. Never.

Review: Weightless Float Center

Review: Weightless Float Center

Weightless Float Center, a float tank center located in Distillery Commons that also offers massage, infrared saunas, and yoga, is nearing its second birthday. There is one other float tank facility in Louisville that I’m aware of, Acqua Wellness, which is located near the intersection of Westport Road and Springhurst Boulevard at the edge of Jefferson County, but Weightless is the one that I’d been seeing and hearing so much about that I was so intrigued I had to visit, and is the subject of this review.

Since June 2017, I’ve floated 8 times, and floating has become a core component of my self-care regimen. I would do it every single day if I could.

Review: Tumi Annapolis Zip Flap Bag

Review: Tumi Annapolis Zip Flap Bag

On May 6th, I walked into a Tumi location to check out a bag I’d been heavily eyeing online: the Annapolis Crossbody Zip Flap bag.

I knew immediately that I adored it. I knew just as certainly that I didn’t need it. At that point, I’d been using Fossil’s Field City Bag for 3 months, and I was pretty satisfied with it. After checking out the bag, I turned around and walked out, determined to wait.

I drove back a few hours later and walked out with it. (Some wait, huh?) I’m really glad I did, and after 2.5 months of testing, I’ve been satisfied with what I’ve found. Tumi’s Annapolis Zip Flap bag is easily one of the 3-5 best bags I’ve ever had, if not the best.

Review: Fossil Field City Bag

Originally written February 16th, 2017.
2 Sundays ago I was poking around at the Bluegrass Outlet Shops in Simpsonville, and found an absolutely ridiculous deal at the Fossil outlet that I snatched up at something only slightly slower than the speed of light.
TL,DR review: If this bag was a person, I’d marry it, and ya’ll would be invited. Smash that buy button, if you see it for sale online or elsewhere. Full review follows.
The easiest and quickest way I gauge how excited I am about a product is how eager I am to review it. I love testing, evaluating, and reviewing items/products/restaurants/you name it, and if it’s something I love, I find it difficult to force myself to wait long enough to give it enough time for a fair review. I began drafting this review mentally later that day.
