There is nothing like a good TEDTalk to get your day going. This one seemed particularly relevant being that it is the holiday season and people tend to treat themselves this time of the year. The speaker is author Ben Wallace and in the talk he discusses his experience trying 12 of the most expensive luxury items around. I have to agree with him on most items but I would love love love to have the toilet that examines what you put in it and tells you how you are doing. Maybe it’s the Caden Cotard in me.
What do you think, can money buy happiness? I have a feeling that some of the items he discusses can only be appreciated by folks who really know a lot about the specific item in general, which may explain some of his dismay though.
What I do know is that my favorite place to get clothes is the Salvation Army here in Mentor Ohio. I totally reccomend you takepart and find a SalVal near you for any remaining clothing purchases you need to make this holiday season.
