Feys The Music: Eh, It’s Fall. Fine.
Joe Feys is Nashville designer and Listen! It’s Vetrano contributor, regularly writing his column ‘Feys Lift.’ This week, Feys steps into the driver seat of ‘LIV’ regular series Music Monday to share some of his favorite songs of the moment. As the playlist title not-so-subtly suggests, I’ve finally accepted the change in seasons. With the fall and winter months ahead, I have compiled some of the songs that are helping ease the pain of the colder temps.

Bernstein Cares: Natural, Organic, & Free-Range… Oh My!
Hi again! This month I wanted to delve into a topic that can get really confusing, even for the most well-meaning food shoppers: food label claims. I’m a big proponent of reading the labels of everything you buy. It’s important to get familiar with ingredients, and how else will you know what you’re eating? (Note: in my personal opinion, it’s the ingredient list that is important, not the nutrition facts. If you’re eating whole, minimally processed foods, with a small number of ingredients, all of which you can at least pronounce, you won’t really have to worry so much about the calories and whatnot. Anyway, I digress…) Unfortunately, food manufacturers…

Music Monday: My All-Time Favorite Songs
This week’s Music Monday falls on a special day: my birthday. That’s right, on November 2nd V for Vetrano was born; and from a young age, music played a big part of my life. So, in honor of the big day, I’ve compiled some of my all time favorite songs –since birth– in one epic playlist. Songs that have touched my soul from the moment I’ve heard them. Songs that take me back to a special memory. Songs that I never skip when they come up on my Pandora station. All these songs, in some way or another, represent the first thirty years of my life. From my very first purchased…

Turn Back Time
Hey guys, gals and undecideds, V for Vetrano here on the first day of November! If you’re like most of the population, you probably “whooped it up” last night for Halloween and might be praying for the pounding in your head to stop. And if the night’s scares didn’t end until the wee-hours of the morning, you may not even be reading this until tomorrow (or next week, for that matter). Me, on the other hand? I stayed in. With a busy Sunday Funday ahead to celebrate my birthday, I opted to skip the costumes and candy this year. Part of me loved the alone time to catch up on…
