Fall Into Back To School At The Gap – Win A $25GC @Gap #GapSchool

Last year my now 14 year old son had his first school dance. It was an informal one so he didn’t have to wear a suit and tie, but he still most definitely wanted to look good. So I packed up the family and we headed to the mall. We looked around and most of the shops had t-shirts or outfits for say 20+ yr. old guys but nothing that really “fit his style”. While we walked around the mall basically window shopping at that point, we came across The Gap. My son peered in and...

Part of the mystery lies in whether the child’s body produces a lot of salt while engaged in a difficult workout. Staying hydrated and avoiding heat illness are two areas Dr. Brendon McDermott at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga understands, and...

Ethnic Hair Products From Dr. Miracle’s

I was recently asked to do a shop for Collective Bias for Ethnic Hair Products from Dr. Miracle’s. This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time because my son turned 14 today and he has been wanting his hair relaxed/straightened for about 2 years now. I never knew what to use, and we went to a couple salons but no one knew how to go about doing it (or they were afraid to) because my son is biracial. His hair is very tight curls and rough textured but soft as well. So,...
