QuickBooks
I set up my accounting system with QuickBooks yesterday. May 20th was exactly one month after my business and brand launch. Of course, I’d had that task on my To-Do List since before 4/20, but it was one of those line items that kept getting circled and pushed to the next list. (That’s how I […]
Sink Drinks
My cats drink from the sink in my restroom. I’ve lived here since October but the practice only started about one month ago. When I wake up, I 1.) Make a beeline for the kitchen to turn on the coffee, 2.) Walk to my closet to put on some shorts, a t-shirt and my New […]

Modern Southern Gentleman
When I defined the brand Seersucker Stud, I chose four words to describe the modern southern gentleman: smart, progressive, witty and sexy. I thought long and hard about those adjectives. When I am asked about the brand, I must nail my elevator speech every single time, “Seersucker Stud embodies the modern southern gentleman: smart, progressive, […]
