Keto Reset Diet Book: a review

If you leave with nothing else: the print version which I received was hard to read from a visual standpoint. The columns are too wide, but the information is golden and reflects what I've learned about Keto elsewhere.

 When I ordered "The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson with Brad Kearns" I was expecting an easy read that excited me to dive into more information about a lifestyle I was already familiar with. It looks friendly at first and has awesome recipes I have yet to get around to trying at the back. The cover is amazing and everything about the book as an object is amazing. 

 And then I started reading it. The first page of each chapter is set up nicely, the columns are spaced well and its easy to buzz through, and then you turn the page and it's a ginormous block of text with no end in sight. Giving myself until the chapter break occurs to finish a section is a nightmare as I read before bed, and the chapters are too long. 

 It's also hard to get very scientific when there's studies to prove every side of an argument has all of their points. All the information I've gathered from my history shows that the Keto diet is an amazing lifestyle, but getting all your information from this book is a hard call. Any scientific explanation doesn't feel backed up securely and it's all going to end up being how someone utilizes the information for themselves. 

 My Advice to anyone who's considering getting this - get the Ebook version. The width of the columns made this hard to read so the hard copy is really only the best form for the recipes. If you were going to store the recipes online regardless, just jump to the ebook. 
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

The Chamberlain Key - a Review

I'm a designer. I love things that are well designed. The cover of The Chamberlain Key was designed well enough to get me interested in picking it up. The cover itself has an image referred to as temple scroll and there's a lot of hebrew in the background on the front cover that looks decorative at first; it's little things like that which made it so inviting to pick up. Before starting to read, I felt like the cover would give me a sense of what it was all about. A quick flipping through the pages gauges that an editorial designer wasn't in use for the creation of this print job. Mainly indicated by hyphenations, single words or short amount of letters on one line. This isn't problematic, although a little distracting for my well-trained eyes. Additionally, having an editorial designer work with all the text and images would probably make the cost too high to get Smith's message out. I'm also not much for religious stories. Reading "The Chamb...

Relationship with the Phone~ response

Many people have tendencies to need a phone with them at all times. Luckily, I don't have such a problem. In my younger years, I would only answer the phone if I was directly told to, and for a good chuck on my younger years, I was scared to pick up a phone for fear of who was on the other side. The phone used to be a strange idea to me, seeing as you could connect to almost everyone and relay messages to them without them being there. Still, the phone has many consequences and problems that I still don't enjoy it for. For one, you aren't talking directly to the person, so you can't really tell how they're saying something, and what they're doing while they're saying it. You know, one reason why phones while you're driving is bad isn't nearly as much as just having something in your grasp, but also being able to see what the other person is seeing. Next time you're driving with someone else in the car, you might realize that if something's g...

A Throwback from 2018: Daily Social Media Inspiration for Fitness Centers

 Back in 2018 I used to work at FitRewards. This was a rewards and loyalty program that marketed itself towards fitness centers, but could be used at other businesses as a corporate reward program, to incentivize their clients or staff to do specific behaviors for points. The closest competitor that is still around would be Perkville. At the time FitRewards stood out from their direct competitor by creating a measured point system against a dollar amount; and working with vendors to offer high-value reward items. Because of the mixed B2B focus on our internal marketing, but also the B2C traffic our channels would get due to the members that were in the program, our channels had to be playing both fields.  I thought it would be a nice share to drop the general "Daily Topics" that I had put together back in 2018 as they were broad enough then to be valuable now, and would be great in a B2C fitness center space to piggy back off of when they just need a little extra filler conte...
