Tuesdays Unwraped: Retail Therapy

There’s something about living overseas that makes me appreciate American shopping so much.

Shopping in Sanlucar

Photos to follow tomorrow – I can’t find the cord to my camera to upload photos. A bumpy bus ride along the countryside brought us to Las Dunas Centro Comercial. A quiet, quaint little mall, we had it almost to ourselves. We scurried in and out of stores.  We weaved in and out of dressing… Continue reading Shopping in Sanlucar

The most random post in the history of Joes Melans…

Haircuts A little background info… I used to get my haircut only about twice a year, part of the reason was the fact that I was always trying to let it grow and then when I moved to NYC I couldn’t afford or rationalize paying $100 for a shampoo, cut and blowdry unless I had… Continue reading The most random post in the history of Joes Melans…
