I guess this is because lifestyle products are generally cheaper –…

Hitting the “1,000 readers a day” mark!
I’m finally hitting the monumental 1,000+ unique readers per day mark. In the olden days, ancient bloggers used to commemorate this breakthrough by sacrificing a vestal virgin to the AdSense god. With the advent of civilized practices and the humane society, all we do now is post about it. One thousand unique readers isn’t a…
