Pay it Forward in Action
Written by contributing blogger, Sonia Sahota. Sometimes we all get lost and fall into our weekly routines forgetting about the importance of appreciation and giving back to the community. I know I definitely have. I have been sucked into my zombie-like routine and have not awoken from it…until recently. I came across an organization that truly ...
Pets, our little Fur Children
I'm the type of person who "oohs" and "awws" when I see a puppy or kitten over anything else. I'm a natural animal lover and have heart for them more than some people (true). Our pets count on us for food, a home, a bed, and of course affection. They love us without hesitation, and ...
Pump up the Jam

And perhaps I'm a little biased on these three, because I know them personally, but they're remarkable, driven, kickass women that need to be appreciated. 1. Janet Aronica - From Buffalo to Boston, this female has climbed the ...
The Five Things you MUST do this Summer
If you're like me and live in the northeast, you know that summer is fleeting. It rushes in and runs away before you can truly experience everything you were hoping to. We get stuck behind our desks, our computers, and our own stubborn minds to get outside and do something. We make excuses that we ...
Self Image, what a Bitch
With the summer here in full force, and less clothing to be worn, we can't help but be a little more self conscious at times. And with age comes more body issues we hadn't even thought could be a problem. Who knew there was such a thing as armpit fat? Seriously. Our own self image of ...
The Joy of Summer Traditions
Written by contributing blogger: Daniela Forte. If there is anything those closest know about me, is that I am a traditionalist. I firmly believe in the value of tradition and that belief is strong during the summer months. I admit I am not a fan of summer, but I am a fan of summer traditions. Events like church fairs and ...
