How Successful People End Their Day

We all know the importance of morning routines—our brains have been programmed this way. We preach how breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that our 6am gym sesh is of critical importance, and so on. Although doing our morning right is 100% valuable, because of this, our night-time routine can often fall short. The funny thing about this is that the way you spend your night will directly impact how you’re gonna feel when you wake up. We mean, the hangover serves as cut clear proof of that.

Unfortunately, if you’ve spent all your money on Falls tickets and parking fines like the rest of us, then you don’t really have a choice when it comes to wetting your whistle.

What Your Favourite Summer Drink Says About You

As Ghandi once said, Friday knockoffs are the window to the soul. It’s the perfect opportunity to size up a potential date or m8, because you can tell a lot about a person from what bev they choose to wrap their lips around in the warmer months. Something flat? Something bubbly? Something brewed? Something aged? Are they living at home? Do they have a successful career? Would they be comfortable sharing a bowl of beer battered chips? Have they done a murder? We can answer all of these important questions and more.
