I know this commercial has been out for several months. And from all the feedback the Almond Joy flavored creamer by International Delight is suppose to be delicious. However, I just can’t get over one part of the commercial. Between seconds 2-4 all that chocolate around the little girl’s mouth looks like poop. Am I crazy? Why is it so thick? Yuck. Someone went a little overboard in trying to convey the chocolate theme.

There’s no doubt she could sing. Whenever I hear Etta James sing I know two things, she knows love and she definitely knows pain. Ms. Etta James will forever be remembered for hits such as “At Last”, “I’d Rather Go Blind”, and “All I Could Do Was Cry”. However, I love her soulful cover of James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s World”.

Contrary to popular belief creativity doesn’t just come naturally all the time. You have to work at it. However, when you’re constantly having to create for others it’s hard to find the time to harness your skills. “Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills” by David Sherwin “will help you achieve a breadth of stronger design solutions, in various media, within any set time period.” (Amazon.com) Interested, you can purchase the book on Amazon.com, HERE.

While researching coffee shops, I came across the nicely branded Coffee Shop Brooklyn. What’s even more interesting is that it’s located in Brasil. I’m really diggin’ the logo.
