Drinking rum and curaçao out of a mug-size Easter Island head is the reason warm weather was created, but tiki culture is becoming harder to find. Need a mai tai immediately?

That’s important to me, I like that money doesn’t cloud the picture when you’re using Critiki. It does mean that my budget for spreading the word about Critiki is $0, though. So I’m going to do a very Oprah thing right now and share my feeling of gratitude that the folks at O Magazine shared Critiki with their readers. I’m doubly happy that they did such a good job of describing what Critiki is all about. It was awfully kind of them.
