Ambercrombie and # FitchTheHomeless

Fitch-The-Homeless

By now, you have probably heard all about the CEO of Ambercrombie and Fitch and his less than delightful comments (in a 2006 interview) about who is and is not worthy of wearing A&F clothes.  You know, things like: “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he says. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids.

The Dollar Tree is an amazing place of happiness.  At least it is for me....don't judge!  Mom and I were recently in the store and took the time to walk up and down the aisles and see what they have to offer.  And yes, if you must know, I needed … [Read more...]

Debt Free College Student – Tim Caiello

Debt Free College Student

Tim Caiello, 21, is a double major in Bible and Humanities and is minoring in Business at Columbia International University.  Tim and I worked together as partners teaching at a speech and debate camp for younger students several years ago.  I was scared to death of him because he was a senior, an amazing debater and speaker, and I was something like 14!  Of course he made me feel comfortable … [Read more...]
