There’s this quiet and pleasant confidence about them – an “it” factor that seems so unattainable, and yet we can define it all in one word: swag. Not to get cocky, or turn all Dr. Phil on you, but my swag-game is highly envied, and even I know it can be stepped up a notch. It’s actually pretty easy to incorporate swag in your daily endeavors, here’s the trick:
