EXPRESS STORE Locations

Okay so I've been researching the **** out of this for months because I was stuck in this weird loop where literally nothing felt rewarding anymore. Like I could scroll for hours but couldn't bring myself to do basic tasks. Turns out this is insanely common and there's actual science behind why our brains are completely fried. The dopamine system in your brain isn't broken, it's just overstimulated. We're flooding it with cheap hits all day (social media, junk food, ****, whatever) so when it comes time to do something that requires effort, your brain's like "nah, not worth it." This isn't a willpower thing. It's biology. But the good...

California is once again leading the nation in sustainability this time with a bold move toward eliminating all plastic bags from retail stores by 2026. The state’s proposed ban aims to reduce pollution, protect marine life, and move consumers toward more eco-friendly habits. For retailers, this marks one of the biggest operational shifts in years. Here’s what this upcoming change means and how businesses can prepare now. # Why California Is Making This Move Plastic bag waste continues to be a major environmental issue. Even with partial restrictions in place, millions of single-use bags still end up in landfills, waterways, and oceans each year. A full ban is meant to: * Cut plas...

I’ve been having dreams lately, which, as normal as it sounds, is pretty unusual for me. I’ve never been one to recall a single detail from my dreams, and yet here I am, remembering a whole dreamlike sequence from start to finish. It always starts with me in third-person view, standing in my kitchen, surrounded by familiar faces. I watch in horror from the corner of the room as my other self picks up a kitchen knife and, one by one, mercilessly kills every single one of my friends. I’m sure some freak out there could tell me the exact meaning of this dream—and I sincerely hope it means I’m getting rich soon—but I can’t fathom the fact that I have to confess this to anyone. ...

When I first thought about *********** clothing, it wasn’t about trends, visibility points, or trying to be different. It came from a much simpler place. Inclusion. Fashion, to me, should feel like an open room, not a guarded door. Everyone deserves to walk in and feel like there is something made with them in mind. At first, people around me didn’t quite get it. Some said I was doing too much. Others asked who I was trying to impress. But I never believed that making space for people was something that needed defending. If fashion is truly expressive, then it should allow people to show up exactly as they are. So I added a small line of *********** clothing to my boutique. Quietly...

I’m trying to figure out the brand or manufacturer of this teddy bear plush. I’ve had it for many years and it has a lot of sentimental value. I believe it’s from the late 1990s or early 2000s, but I’m not completely sure. Unfortunately, the original tag is missing or was cut off, so there’s no direct brand information available. The bear is medium-sized, brown, with a large light beige muzzle, black plastic eyes, and a stitched nose and mouth. It has a very classic teddy bear look: no clothing, no embroidery, no logos, and no obvious character traits. The fur is soft but clearly shows wear from age and use, which makes me think it was a mass-produced plush rather than handmade....

Hey so this is a long one, but I’m struggling with this this decision. My grandma is dieing and I don’t care to go see her. And now the why. Grandma has always been the dread. She would nit pick every single thing, from my clothes to my hair (to the point where I am embarrassed to go out into public because I don’t think I look good enough still!) and all the way to the way I rode (she was a horse trainer). My parents would make me go spend a week there every summer sometimes multiple times. One summer I think I went for three weeks. And I ***** it. By the end of the week I would’ve completely shut down to the point where I was just a ticking time bomb because she was so harsh. As ...

I have so much respect for the players making intricate designs because a simple plaid shirt already got me on my knees💔

This story's called "No Boy's Land" and it takes place during the American Civil War. \--- CHAPTER 1: No Boy's Land Ellie looked out in the distance watching as his father’s slaves toiled the fields. They’d top the tobacco, sucker them, and remove the pests that dwelled on it, like him, but segregated. They did most of the field labor while Ellie was mainly taught how to work around the farm. He carried buckets, fed the cattle, and helped where he could. Ellie gazed at them in intrigue until his father spoke up, “Don’t you pay no attention to ‘em, Elliot. That’s my job.” Then he returned his gaze on his father and the horse he was being taught to rid...

Let’s be honest: The "get rich quick" era of dropshipping is dead. Customers today are smart. They can spot a generic, low-effort store from a mile away. If your site looks like a temporary pop-up, they won’t trust you with their credit card info. To survive and scale in 2026, you need to pivot from "selling products" to "building a brand." A brand isn't just a logo—it's a feeling, a promise, and a consistent experience. But how do you build a brand when you don't hold inventory? It’s easier than you think. Here are 7 actionable steps to transform your store into a brand. # 7 Ways to Build a Brand Store **Step 1: Niche Down and Def...

Has anyone had any luck getting AMEX to pay for out of warranty repairs on electronics? My son has a MacBook Air at college in 13 months after purchasing it he cracked the screen. We took it to the Apple Store and they said if it had happened a month earlier, they would've replaced it for free, but since it was 13 months it was out of warranty so it cost $650. When you purchase things on the American Express platinum card they say they extend the warranty for a year. Has anyone had any luck turning these in to get paid?

So I'm 22 years old male, I work remotely for a startup based in Bangkok. I'm going there in a month for in-person work and planning to stay and work for a few days. The thing is, I have zero dressing sense. When I was a kid I'd just wear stuff from Chennai silks, ganapathy silks etc.. Then after I'm older, I still only buy from local shops or Grasp/Zudio or online stores like Myntra. And that's totally fine when I'm here, but when I go to Bangkok as a person representing the company, I have to be dressed properly and suiting the vibe. This is not a corporate yet, so no suits or anything formal. It's startup and very chill and informal, so to fit that v...

For those of us who live for the thrill of the hunt—the search for authentic vintage treasures and unique antiques—there's been a noticeable shift in the St. Louis market. A place that was once a go-to destination, The Hill Antique Market, has, in my opinion, lost its luster. I used to love spending a day wandering through the booths, but lately, it feels different. The market seems to be flooded with reproductions and miscellaneous clothing you could easily find at any local thrift store, but with significantly higher price tags. I don't mind paying for true vintage or well-curated antique collections, but it's increasingly feeling like a junk lot rather than a curated m...

What is your favorite quote or advice from mom that still rings true for you today? Or maybe has become outdated? I think about how she never gushsed when someone complimented her clothing, or jewelry or personal items. She was demure. One time we were out, and I replied to a compliment that I'd gotten a coat at a thrift store. Afterwards, she said to me, "You don't have to give your secrets away." That sticks with me, especially now, as I realize that I had in fact not internalized that advice and made good use of it. I still feel compelled to honesty which makes me feel like a fool afterwards, highlighting my insecurities whereas my mother had the perfect balance of c...
