Buyer Beware: Negative reviews of The Oodie from customers are pouring in
As I mentioned in my article about The Oodie's predatory sales tactics and poor customer service, there appears to be a disconnect between the customer experience and what you can see in The Oodie's social media comments. I've been able to connect the dots! I discovered pages of recent 1-star complaints about The Oodie on Trustpilot that help paint a picture of what could have been said in the hundreds of 'hidden comments' on Oodie social media.
To recap, The Oodie is in hot water. Customers who have ordere ..read more

Happy International Women's Day: Defining what being a woman means to you is a unique and personal journey
Womanhood is such an unpredictable journey. I continue to learn from the women in the past who paved the path of privilege that I walk on today. When I say they paved it, I mean it! They saw a path of dirt that wasn't good enough. They didn't know where it would lead. So they dug it up and ripped it apart. Burned it to ash. They levelled it out, trying to make it as even as possible. They mixed the asphalt with their blood, sweat, and tears, and paved their way through women's suffr ..read more

The truth about brewers rice: What is brewers rice in dog food?

The same goes for brewers rice. A low-quality product purchased from an illegitimate source can be bad for your pet. If the ingredients are regulated and of the highest quality, it ..read more
