Does that really need to get your panties in a bunch?
Lots of people think they’re cool as a cucumber. Rarely do people want to admit to being a worrier.
Powered on the go
When we travel, the last thing we want to worry about is bringing one more device, one more cord, one more cord for that one more device. But, hear me out. This one is worth it... and you barely need any space for it.
The bar has been lowered on 'celebrity'
I've made it pretty clear that I'm not a fan of life playing out on social media. Just scroll through my other commentaries in recent weeks. You'll see.
My mom is too opinionated about my relationship
My mom is too opinionated about my relationship. She's always asking questions and sticking her nose in. I'm starting to lie because I don't feel like telling her everything she wants to know. I'm avoiding her calls and pretending I don't get her texts. I'm tempted to cut her off entirely. What should I do?
Mint Coffee Buff'ed Ice Cream
For as long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with two things: exceptional coffee and the creamy, comforting embrace of ice cream. And when the two collide? Pure, unadulterated bliss.
MUSIC: This Nut's For You... exclusively from Buff Radio
BEHIND THE SCENES
The stream dream has become a costly nightmare
I remember it so clearly: the sheer joy, the unbridled freedom that came with cutting the cord.
These animals sing... but do they like country music?
Nashville is formally known as Music City but there's something about the zoo that makes me think it's also Animal City. Amazing experience!
I love when performative social-media relationships break up
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we present our lives online, and specifically, how we present our relationships.
My partner wants to combine money... but I have a lot more
My partner wants to combine our bank account/money but I make significantly more than him. Should I set ground rules about how he can spend?
Trickling tranquility
Many people are into meditation or relaxation music (or both) to chill out at the end of the day -- or even to reduce stress during a trying day. I've tried 'em, they're not my thing.
That bitch ruined his first date
Here at Buff Loft (official home of Club Buff), we love a good romance. We love hearing the story about how our bosses met, how their romance blossomed and how they've become an old married couple in the most charming ways.
How much skin graffiti does one body need?
I’ve never understood the widespread fascination with tattoos, especially when they reach a certain… saturation point.
Fruity Buff'ed dip
By now you've figured out how I work. I love experimenting in the kitchen, pushing flavor boundaries. This one came to me at breakfast the other day while I was enjoying a fruit plate and, of course, our Buff Boy coffee! I thought, why not combine them? I'm not saying dip the fruit in coffee. I'm saying add coffee to the fruit dip.
Companies are too desperate for feedback and reviews
I recently ordered groceries online, a mundane transaction in our modern world, one I’ve probably completed hundreds of times. Barely 10 minutes after the delivery, my phone buzzed. An email: "How was your experience?" My immediate thought wasn't gratitude or helpful feedback; it was an exasperated groan. Again?
My partner thinks laws don't apply to him
My partner is subscribing to the "sovereign citizen" mindset where rules and laws don't apply to him. He's not a bad guy (not committing crimes) but the whole philosophy is that rules don't apply to him so he believes that cops would have no right to arrest him for anything or that if he's charged with something he can beat it because he's his own citizen. I have this feeling he'll start to challenge authority to make his point if he ever comes up against law enforcement or someone. What should I do?
The need for bead
I consider myself to be creative but I am far from artsy. Because Puerto Vallarta is known to have a vibrant art community, I thought it would be fun to check out Galeria Colectika in downtown PV.
You act the way you dress
I have a theory, one that might sound a little old-fashioned, but I truly believe it holds a kernel of profound truth: I think if people dressed nicer, the world would be significantly less douchey.
Buff-fused garlic mashed potatoes
Before you judge, hear me out. (Or, read me out!)
High-tech (and high-priced) skincare
If there's one thing we're known for around these parts it's our hair and skin. And that skin has seen its share of needles to maintain our famous plastic Hollywood faces!
A splash and a spin in Houston
On a recent trip to Houston, Texas, I traded the bustling city streets for an underwater adventure at the Downtown Aquarium. I'd heard whispers of its unique blend of marine life exhibits and amusement park rides, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint.
Are employers expecting too much or are workers just lazy?
I'm obviously employed so this commentary isn't about me. I do, however, have several unemployed friends who say they've been unable to land a job in the past year.
Should I confront shoeless airplane passengers?
I'm totally disgusted by people who take off their shoes on a plane -- especially when it's someone beside me. I'm tempted to say something but worry it'll lead to a confrontation. How do I get my point across without making it an issue and viral moment for people with their phones?
