I just picked up my daughter and her 2 friends. While driving the song Chandelier came on the radio. I like to listen to my music very loud. They didn't mind. I asked them to sing - knowing that they really enjoy singing. They hesitated and said that they aren't sopranos. I said just belt it out. They did and they hit the high notes. It made me think. How much do we let fear stand in our way? A lot. I'm not talking about the big things in life, but the small joyful moments - like this one. I also thought, are we sending mixed signals to our kids by instilling the fear of wrath if they do something...

The first time I heard the song "I took a pill in Ibiza" I loved it and needed to hear it again and learn more about it. Mike Posner's song is based on a low point in his career when he was writing for others and feeling very needy for more fame, more money, jealous about others' successes. He attended a performance of a peer and was recognized by some other attendees who invited him to party hard with them. I don't know why I am so surprised by this, he is a songwriter duh, but he was extremely eloquent in his explanation that he in no way condones drug use or hard partying. He merely wanted to write about...

Some interesting companies have just gained significant investment capital to expand their businesses. 1) Tamara Mellon - The former chief creative officer and co-founder of Jimmy Choo. 2) Juicero - This looks and sounds amazing for all of us focused on healthy eating (WiFi connected for freshness monitoring and auto-delivery of ice pack refills) but it is very expensive (think high end espresso machine equivalent, this juicer is estimated to cost around $2k a year, pre-made organic juices are cheaper).

Venturebeat image Soon we may see a collaboration between a retailer and Avametrics - a company that's been developing for four years the capability of a true virtual fitting room based on in store 3 second body scans collecting no images just up to 200 data points. The algorithms are similar to those used for self driving cars and computer vision. How great would it be to never again have to make an online purchase return? Well, maybe that's expecting too much, but sometimes you just need to see an item on your own body and the closer a virtual fitting room can get to reality the less likely the return will occur. I hope this technology works....

Whoop-si! Sorry I couldn't resist....

If you or your spouse or friends live in or commute to NYC you and they may want to know about this new collab between the former ABC Kitchen Chef Dan Kluger and delivery food service Maple. ABC Kitchen has become my friend's go to lunch spot and although she has tried to recreate their local organic Kabocha Squash Toast with Carmelized Onions has not yet been able to replicate the incredibly balanced blend of tasty sweet and savory flavor. The Maple menu looks delicious, healthy enough for my fitness goals, but is only available one more week until March 4 so we all need to hurry up and place an order. A portion of each meal will...
