Meal Kits are Taking Over the USofA Who knew that prep (meal kit) and no prep (heat and eat) meal delivery services would eventually become the future?  When it comes to cooking, either you know how to do it or you do not.  If you fall into the latter category, you probably get by ordering out everyday or if you have the means, hiring a private chef.  What I love most about meal delivery services is that it doesn't matter what category you fall into! If you don't know how to cook, you can most certainly learn through prep (meal kit) based meal delivery services.  On the other hand, if you are an experienced cook, prep and no prep delivery plans allow for the food experimenter to achieve the bliss of food diversity.  Eating the same foods over and over can get a bit boring!  If you're someone who loves to try new foods and recipes ALL the time, meal delivery services may be the route that you need to take.  Thanks to food delivery services such as Hello...

Notch Free iPhone Coming?

Is Apple getting ready to reveal a notch-less iphone? The notch is probably the #1 design issue that iphone users dislike the most since its introduction on the iphone X in 2017. The large notch in the middle of the screen takes away from the edge-to-edge display. Placing the notch in the current location of the phone was not a good design idea.  



Apple filed for a patent that expands the phone display, eliminates the notch and scrolls from within. When the display expands, the notch suddenly will become hidden.  



The patent was recently won on July 20th. 

Did iphone users even care all that much for an edge-to-edge display? Probably not, however, it’s possible that Apple may have wanted to introduce a phone that is somewhat similar to their competitors. When Apple removed the physical home button from their phone a few years ago, they received a ton of backlash and they’re probably still receiving it today.  Some users have publicly voiced their opinions about Apple and its current state on online forums and blogs. Others may have done  so privately. 

I got in touch with Tim Cook recently and thankfully, I was able to have a conversation with one of his executives. While I’m still side-eyeing the process for the situation that led me to contact, I was glad that my thoughts were heard.  When he was alive, Steve would often respond to customers when they contacted even though that was not a part of his job description.  He had a hand in every pie concerning Apple. I would say that the loyalty that so many have towards Apple is more than likely due to the honest fact that they simply have reliable and great products.  Others will never forget Steve Jobs and all that he did to propel the company to what it is today.   He placed all his breath, courage and essence into his products and company and he clearly expected his employees and successors to follow suit.

Every time I think about Steve Jobs, I always wonder, would he be impressed or happy with the current state of Apple? Would he be pleased with the products being put out?  The physical home button was a signature feature that Steve engineered for his products. When I saw the iphone X in 2017, I was a bit perturbed. Yes, it’s important to be innovative and there is always a need to take the present time and age into account but in my opinion, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” 

I have to admit that I took a dive to the other side recently and joined the android boys and girls due to the current design particulars that I don’t really care for on the current iphones. The excessively big notch is certainly the foremost. I even wrote a scathing piece in the past to express my experience and titled it, “So Long iPhone.”  But people can have changes of heart right? My forgiving nature won and no, that article won’t see the light of day.

Apple announced that their annual Fall Apple event will take place on September 14th and maybe--just maybe--the newest model of the iphone will see a return of the home button or possibly even a slimmed down notch. I’m sure there are apple enthusiasts looking forward to that day. The home button was a feature that millions of Apple users around the globe came to know and love.  Its disappearance was a mystery that really didn’t need to happen.  Hopefully Apple comes through for its tribe and sprinkles some Apple magic back onto us.

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.
