Whether we are in our "place" of work or at home discussing with our partner about whose turn it is to wash the … [Read more...]

In case you aren't aware, it’s been proven by real life scientists that drinking a glass bottle of wine a day is good for the health. When it comes to choosing wine it can be hit and miss. … [Read more...]
Better Know A Barcelona Startup: Voz.io (@vozio)
Never underestimate the power of customer service. It is undoubtedly one of the post dominant marketing tools alive yet companies still provide inhuman levels of service causing us to gawk, splutter and explode into rage.

Better Know A Startup: DiLunch (@DiLunch)
Finding that place to eat for lunch has always been a pain in the ass for my colleagues and I. We’re always pressed for time (very un-Spanish of us I must admit), which leads to us frequenting the same restaurants time and time again. Boringgggg. Even though I live in the neighbourhood where I work, I still stand around scratching my head when someone suggests we try something … [Read more...]
