The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: Apps & Software You Never Knew You Needed

The Magical Word “Manifest” – Is It Hooey Or True?
When dreamy (aka flaky) people talk about how you can “manifest” something in your life – like love, money, or fame – by simply believing it will come to you, I want to gag.
