Rather than looking for the closest parking spot (or the “best seat” in the theater, or the most comfortable seat in the restaurant, etc), choose instead to park &/or sit in the “worst spot available” all day today. To do so, simply pause before sitting down (or getting in line, or parking your car), find […]
Keeping in mind that the human skin is not “water-proof” like many think it to be (anything applied directly to human skin is at least partially absorbed directly into the bloodstream), discard all your toiletry items that contain animal-based components, artificial colors, artificial aromas, &/or any other “diabolical” ingredients. Then, later in the day, invest […]
Engage three (3) different “home-free” people in conversation today for at least 10 minutes each.

(That’s right … Everything pictured is 100% Vegan!)
