When we walked into Spring the first time, we immediately noticed how good and fresh the store smelled. It turns out that virtually everyone who walks in says the same thing. We think it's the mixtu...
On Sunday, we spent some time at the International terminal at SFO waiting on a friend's plane. If you're not prepared, the airport can be a pretty tedious place to try and kill time. But we gotta s...
