With social media and everything else, I feel that email is still the best way to connect. It feels like a more intimate space that's not as cluttered as a social feed is.

Reading the words we need to drop from emails and personally getting peeved by speakers who muster "actually" at every sentence, I knew I needed to watch the words coming out of my mouth. As a communicator, I believe it's not the shoes that tell a man but the words we use and the way we use them that matters.

Coming back from my craft-beer-filled week in Melbourne got me all into detoxes. From improving the gut flora, clean cosmetics, to acne-free skin.
