Welcome to Noel's Random Stuff!
Hi, I'm Noel.
I grew up in Cleveland, Tennessee, went to the University of Memphis, and somehow ended up working for Abercrombie & Fitch in Chicago before pivoting into IT. That led me to New York City, a stint working in Broadway, and now a job keeping the technology running at a fashion company, which mostly means making sure the fashion people can do fashion things without the systems falling over.
Outside of work, I'm usually planning a trip, at the gym, or at a Broadway show, sometimes all in the same weekend. I've been going to Upfit Academy for years now (a small NYC gym, not a big-box chain) and I will talk your ear off about why it's worth it. I also do the Cycle for Survival ride, so if you see me posting about that, it's for a good cause, not just a good photo.
This site is where I put all of it: travel recaps, NYC recommendations, fitness stuff that's actually worked for me, and the products I use enough to genuinely vouch for. I've also spent years testing every "make money without really trying" scheme on the internet, some worked, some very much did not, and I'll tell you honestly which is which.
Follow along on Instagram @noelmoo2 for the fitness progress pics and questionable vacation decisions, or just stick around here.
Thanks,
Noel
