How do you define cool?
Being cool makes you stand out from others. What's cool to me are things that only few of us can understand and appreciate. Cool is original, beautiful, mysterious, and its depth holds many layers.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
The secret to uncovering cool is being aware. Aware of human interactions, behaviors, and emotions. Studying those elements will help you predict a trends before they become a reality. You need to keep studying, reading, listening and watching ,because trends have short life spans.
The most challenging way to uncover trends is by starting them your self.

What are your tips for writing a juicy post?

How do you reset to be creative?
I like to watch a lot of video before I start searching for trends. I usually watch tv shows like The Office, or go on the Top Ten Video Chart to watch the top viral videos of the day, they usually inspire me. I like to be in a happy zone before I go on trend hunter.
