    Listen to Your Gut

    It’s an age-old phrase we’ve all been told at least once or twice, and it’s a phrase that ranges across a wide panel of possibilities. If your gut tells you your sister already has that Katy Perry album on vinyl, get her something else! If your gut tells you you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, scram! Err on the side of caution when your gut is involved (it's usually right!).
