Presence, not presents

Posted by carey

I know the Christmas season can be enjoyed even without the usual gift-giving tradition but how do you explain that to those who usually associate Christmas with lavish gifts, thirteenth-month-pays, sumptuous parties, grand reunions, fun vacations and bonuses? I wonder how those who are less fortunate than I am would welcome the coming holidays.
I remember […]

I’ve seen in the news lately about one of the country’s biggest businesses losing millions in their many ventures such as telecommunications and real estate.

We were at the grocery last night and the price tags on some goods we usually buy […]

Shopping with environmental awareness

Posted by carey

Do you prefer buying environment-friendly products over those that are not?

While most consumers support these global concerns, their purchasing habits are still not that totally dependent on whether a product […]
