Ready. Set. Grab all of your unused stuff, your smartphone and go! OfferUp is an incredibly easy app to sell (and buy) items locally. Take photos of your item, write a few words and list it. A key feature is that you can see how many people have viewed your item. If there are a lot of views but no offers, you know the price is too high. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words—and a few bucks as well!
tv
I have two completely different shows that you should watch this month. Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman, a documentary on Discovery Now, is a fascinating look at individuals who work on land and sea and their struggles with outside forces, whether it’s the government or other groups. I know it sounds less than thrilling, but it’s worth your time. If you have ever watched a Dateline or 48 Hours mystery, you must watch Netflix’s Mindhunter, a fictionalized account of how the FBI profiled serial killers during the 1970s. A little scary but a lot interesting.
music » men amongst mountains
You’ve probably turned up the volume when the song “I Wish I Knew You” by The Revivalists comes on. I love this breakout single so much, I downloaded the band’s album, Men Amongst Mountains. Guess what? There are five songs I like even better! This seven-piece band from New Orleans has been around for 10 years, but just now has a hit single. It’s obvious music is their passion, and they bring many different styles to their latest album, inspired by folk, soul and rock.
