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.

How to Set a Table : a book review

How to Set a Table is a quaint little book that was published by POTTER STYLE, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, but oddly enough doesn't credit any author on any of the standard pages. Much digging into the fine print on the very last informative page tells us that Chloe Lieske wrote it - but trying to find this book using her name doesn't show up readily in search results, as though she was discredited and only there to write up a joint collective voice. The book itself is textured in such a way from the burlap style of the cover, that it turns itself into a nice piece to display around your house. How to Set a table is extremely visual and easy to read over - but putting everything mentioned into practice is significantly harder if you're not a specific kind of person. If you don't have nice dinnerware of either porcelain, earthenware or stoneware of varied sizes and shapes along with diff...

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...

Seven Years of Google Reviews: Why I keep reviewing my experience

I've been doing Google Reviews for about 7 years now. I'm still not sure what propagated my starting it, but I'm so glad I did. I use my Google account for pretty much everything (even Blogger is owned by Google). So while there are a lot of platforms available for reviews, like Yelp, I'm not going to change platforms for reach. I don't get any benefits from sharing reviews, although Google should consider giving some incentive for their local guides to keep sharing.  My Google reviews serve several purposes, which is why I'm going to continue writing reviews as I have something to share. Sharing Kick-Ass Local Business:  I absolutely love sharing about local businesses that are just killing it, which helps them get a bit more credibility and brand awareness. I especially love when they reply back! If you're a business, definitely check out if anyone is reviewing you and respond back. Even if it's been a couple months, thank them for the review and I...
