Stop Complaining

This woman is pretty amazing! It's a long video but I felt it was worth watching. I listened to it without sound (because I'm currently in the middle of a meeting :shame on me:), so I don't know if its translated in English. It's still powerful without sound.

Website Changes

Today, you get to see some of the work that I was working on while in Barbados. A new logo and web site edits. Some subtle changes have been made to the site...

• It now has a solid color background (black)
• New logo
• You can now click on the item photos to take you to view more photos of the item
• The link to subscribe to the newsletter is now placed under the view cart button
• Contact button is now a main link
• Revision of About page
• Top banner on pages are now wider. It takes up 100% now rather than roughly 75%
• Changed the color of 'view more photos' button to make it more noticable
• Relocated shop items/descriptions to the center of the page
• Relocated Page links to far right and changed the color to make it more noticable

Goodbye Bim

It is time for me to say "see ya later" to Barbados. I had a very relaxing time and I am a little sad to go but I have things to take care of back in the states.
