I like WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. That’s a really good movie.

Perfume ninja.  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Unsuspecting shoppers, minding their own business, don’t see until it’s too late the mysterious figures dressed head to toe in black who drop from the ceiling and spray their wrists.  Then, quick as a flash, they leap behind a nearby counter, and VANISH!

@SAP: those women who spritz you as you walk through the perfume section of department stores. smile

AAIIIEEE!!!  Not the perfume ninjas!!!

On the other hand, though, I was able to improve my reflexes simply by walking through a Macy’s makeup counter.

I’m a Diet Pepsi drinker too!  Although lately my favorite is Diet Pepsi Max- it’s awesome (especially if you like all that coffee!) I started drinking it after seeing all the commercials, which are hilarious- http://www.wakeuppeople.com to see- and now I’m hooked!  Love your site btw!

@Samantha: Thanks!  I’m not normally a Diet Pepsi drinker. I’m totally Diet Coke all the way. But for some reason, I’m hooked on the Black Cherry French Vanilla Diet Pepsi Jazz. mmm….

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
