The Most Expensive Sneakers Ever - OR what to buy instead
The Reseller Market We are taking a look today at the most expensive sneakers ever, or what you could buy instead for the same money. The sneaker resale market is no joke. It’s currently sitting at $6 billion, which is small compared to the overall fashion market which is $1.78 trillion. But, for the select few that have grown in the reselling market, its a lot of money. The Grey Journal is predicting the sneaker resale market could be worth $30 billion by 2030.

Why ‘Frozen’ taught me to “Let it go.”
Disney princesses have always had their way with words. Especially, when those words are vocalized and laced with stark emotions over a sea of symphonies and strings. Everyone loves the feeling they get when the main character of a heart-filled adventure/romance/comedy/fantasy/ blah/blah/blah, reaches their final epiphany and such… Disney’s hit movie ‘Frozen’ is no exception. And I mean that in the best of ways of course.., but also not really... Here’s where you might get confused. Don’t worry, I completely understand. You’re thinking “oh, here we go.” Or, “What could possibly be wrong with the beloved ’Frozen‘ movie?”

Don’t Create Memes Until You Read This!!
The best relationships are those wherein conversations happen only by sharing memes! If not for memes, we would have nothing to converse about. Memes are just a way of portraying jokes. What’s the big deal, then? Ever considered the legal aspect behind a meme?

March of the Robots
RATHER THAN be worried that robots will take our jobs over the next 20 years, we should be more afraid there won’t be enough robots. That’s the prediction made by roboticist and serial entrepreneur Rodney Brooks.

Breaking the (Autistic) Code: Matilda (1996)
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed medical professional and this series is not about diagnosing the character(s) with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This series is just a personal examination of the film/TV show's plot, the character's traits and personality and how they relate to me as an Autistic woman. Whether this character is canonically Autistic or not is irrelevant. This series has come about after Sia's controversial film Music was released and the backlash that has ensued before, during and after the release of the film. I am not the only Autistic individual that is discussing this topic, nor will I be the last. I would encourage my readers to seek out different perspectives on disability representation especially from BIPOC disabled creators who are often ignored in the disability discourse. I will also try to avoid giving away any spoilers for those who have not seen the film/TV show but if I have to give context for my arguments, this will be a likely occurrence so please be forewarned.

Face tattoos will become normal.
Generation Z is unlikely to have any idea how uncommon tattoos once were. As a case study let's look at the Space Jam movies. The recent Space Jam 2 sparked multiple controversies, but the fact that star LeBron James is covered in tattoos was not one of them. Nobody cared about that.

Once you have read this you can't un-see it
I apologise in advance if you are a fan of the movies, and I am downright killing your movie going experience in one hit. But I have to bring this to everyone else's attention, and not just rant to my husband with every movie we watch lately. I need to probably give some examples here, which obviously I am going to struggle to remember, so may have to dash off, and head to my recent views on Netflix and Prime.

What in the Decanter?
I’m new to writing so please be gentle! Lol but I’m here to talk about wine decanters sooo let’s go! For most people, a wine decanter; are already what most wine drinkers already use or have in their home to put it simply a wine decanters are/can be a fun way to aerate the wine so its aromas and flavors pop exposing it to the oxygen in the air, plus it will make it more vibrant upon serving, and it can help it to separate any sediments that may be formed. Be careful LOVES, having a decanter with a very narrow neck and modest base is going to limit the amount of oxygen that touches your wine, more air the better it tastes. Don’t go off decanting everything tho, not evey wine is equal so you must Remember LOVES Not every wine needs decanting. ... Slowly and carefully decanting the wine ensures that the sediment stays in the bottle and you get a nice clearer wine in the decanter.
