More Pee than Praise
In the advent of Google Plus, I’ve been reconnecting with old friends – mostly friends from high school and college that I’d lost touch with over the years. The result is that I receive a daily dose of the most eclectic posts you could imagine, from the epic destruction of a video game boss to...

How Medelita Got Started
A lot of people ask “how did you come up with the idea?” I’ll share the cliffs notes version as below. I’m not an extreme fashionista. Just someone who prefers to look decent, and at work – professional. I bother to take a shower, brush my teeth, fix my hair, put on a bit of...
