Boring Preachy Part

March is here, which means Awesome will be all around us. We get to celebrate Holi, St. Patricks, International Women's Day and National Women's History Month, the First Day of Spring, March Madness, Opening Day for the MLB, International Fragrance Day, and most importantly Quentin Tarantino's and Lady Gaga's Birthdays.

February is almost over, but before the month ends, we have one more day. A free day that may or may not legally exist, but all of that is irrelevant right now. It is Leap Day on Saturday and be on the lookout for Leap Day William as you celebrate. But wait, you say, who is Leap Day William?

We are so bitterly close to Valentine's Day we can taste the chocolates and smell the flowers. The indulgence and decadence we once reveled in, has lost some of its luster. I have also been surprised that the anti-valentine rhetoric has been silenced this year (or is this my lack of perception?).

Recently I have had a few instances come up that I didn't realize, and I am not entirely sure why. If somebody tells me something or asks a question of me and I don't hear what they say, my brain interprets a few words that I think I heard and my silly brain fills in the gaps (Side note ladies, although a popular opinion, this isn't a male chromosomal defect, proven science).

Over the weekend, there was a substantial loss for sports fans, casual sports fans, and people who know nothing about sports to experience an emotion and to provide a reaction to the passing of Kobe Bryant.

Back in 1960, two men made a bet with $50 on the line. The people involved was a gentleman named Bennett Cerf, who was the founder of Random House. The second man was named Theo Geisel, but you know him as Dr. Seuss. Cerf bet Dr. Seuss that he wouldn't be able to write a children's book using only 50 different words, but it also had to be entertaining.

I hope everything is going well with you this week as some of us battle snow, ice, and bone-chilling winds. By the way, how are your New Year Resolutions fairing?

Happy 2020. I hope you were able to enjoy your break, and you were able to recharge and rejuvenate your spirit to tackle this new work year with some vigor and fire.

As you start to wear ties daily or you are just beginning to explore this newer world, you should know what other people may be saying when they see you if you fall into any of these pitfalls. These are probably more aptly, fashion mistakes, but we don't have to throw shade at that level. Just know the judging of people will not leave you unscathed.

If you ask any of your male counterparts why they choose not to wear a tie, you will get an endless slew of different answers. The consistencies will be themed around; they want to feel comfortable. Ties are too constricted, it's traditional, or other rhetoric ideas.

You will receive our scents in the following; Unscented + Natural Orange + Wooded Spice + Rich Forest + Vanilla Bourbon. Plus our two seasonal individually packaged fragrances which are Plague Doctor and Tobacco Bourbon.

Do you ever wonder where memories come from? Like when you see or hear something, you are instantly transported back to that time and place, and the associated memories begin playing on the movie screen of your mind. I tell the following story to illustrate my experience with memory, so please be patient with me.

I read an article recently that stated: "46 percent of Americans report feeling lonely sometimes or always, and 47 percent report feeling left out sometimes or always. A little less, 43 percent, report feeling isolated from others, and the same number report feeling they lack companionship and their relationships lack meaning."

Add a Tie Bar for a little pick me up in style and class. Your first question might be what a tie bar is? Well, the practical answer is that a tie bar holds your tie in place by tying your neckwear to the front of your shirt right over your sternum, between the third and fourth buttons.

Reading before bed is said to be more effective than drinking tea or taking a walk to reduce stress. Reading takes your mind off of your problems, your missed tasks and your "to do" list tomorrow. It gives you some time to decompress, allowing you to get a good nights sleep.

What does it mean for clothes to fit right? The following are some insights you can use as a guideline when you are out buying clothes or in deciding what to keep from the clothes in your closet now.

Monday was the day of all days. April 8th is the official Rex Manning Day. How did you celebrate Rex Manning Day? Did you even know? I hope you didn't dwell, especially not on Rex Manning day!
