When I was a teenager, my favorite movie was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. If you haven’t seen the movie, the premise is this: a spunky teen named Ferris decides that he needs a day off and since teens cannot have fun alone, he invites his girlfriend and his uptight...
Who doesn’t love a cupcake, a succulent, almost bite-sized piece of loveliness? We as humans have enjoyed cupcakes since the 1800’s. In fact, cupcakes came from a baker who wanted to make a smaller cake that was easier to handle instead of the traditional, large 3...
Have you ever said something that didn’t really align with your true self? I don’t mean accidentally calling someone by the wrong name or inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings. I am talking about betraying yourself and possibly your beliefs by agreeing to...
What is “Buy Nothing Day” and why is it on the same day as the biggest shopping day in America? Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. A day when we as Americans, still bloated from stuffing our faces, try and get the best deal on a TV. Well, that and anything...
