I recently embarked on the application process for Global Entry – a pre-approved expedited clearance for domestic and international travelers. The $100 fee was covered by my Premier Rewards credit card, and the online application was fairly straightforward. The headache was scheduling an interview.
I’ve had my Big Skinny bifold wallet for years! Despite being a “thin” wallet, I had it packed with things I really didn’t need to carry 24/7 like my professional organization membership cards. Looking for something even smaller (and more personalized), I turned to the TROVE custom slim wallet!
Tonight was my first time using Blue Apron, and the experience was great! Everything arrived in the mail fresh, and the preparation of this inaugural meal – spicy sambal chicken and rice – only took 30 minutes and was AMAZING! Not bad for a rookie! I have a few more…
