Even though we’ll be through with this month in a couple of days, with a good portion of the Northeast still under a blanket of snow and dealing with freeze temps that just will not let up, many of us are finding ourselves stuck inside. I’m a pretty big fan of winter but even I […]

Volunteering to Make a Life Long Impact
What do you do in your life that helps create value? Every individual has different passions (be it something like music, writing or the Seahawks) and these passions can help shape your career choices.

6 Valentine’s Day Desserts You Should Make
Valentine’s Day. While this holiday is normally associated with love, romance, and doing all the things for your partner that you should be doing all year round (oops?), for me tomorrow is just an excuse to make food red, pink, and chocolate all over. While savory food can definitely be played with, Valentine’s Day is […]
Valentine’s Day for the Conflicted Couple
Every year when the month of February rolls around, there are two words that become a point of contention for many couples, new and established: Valentine’s Day. Everyone has an opinion on Valentine’s Day. Some love it, some rebel against it because they aren’t in a relationship, some ignore it entirely, and some actively hate […]
The Pretty Files: Warming up to Marsala
Happy 2015! I don’t know about you, but I was really excited when Pantone revealed the 2015 color of the year, Marsala. In contrast to 2014’s Radiant Orchid and 2013’s Emerald, Marsala immediately felt like a color that was user-friendly and wearable in regards to fashion. It also felt classic. Pretty wine-red sweater paired with […]
‘Buy a Lady a Drink’: Turning Beer into Clean Water
Water.org in partnership with Belgian beer company, Stella Artois have launched their latest campaign ‘Buy a Lady a Drink’, focusing on the long and harrowing treks women around the world make in order to find clean water.

The holidays seem to bring on a slew of engagements, especially once you enter your twenties. It seems like every December, your Facebook timeline is flooded with engagement announcements and proposal pictures! That’s been my experience as someone in their mid-twenties, that’s for sure. In January, these couples will begin to plan their weddings—and along […]
The Ramifications of Binge Watching
What are you currently binge watching? Whether it’s old comedies or a new dramatic series, there’s no shortage of TV shows to binge watch. My 94 year old Grandma who just watched eight episodes of Downton Abbey, or my 3 1/2 year old niece whose binging through Dora The Explorer will also tell you there is no age limit to this […]
7 Reasons You Should Try Yoga This Year
The start of the year is a popular time for many of us to try and begin life changes, especially ones involving health. Whether it’s feeling over fed and under exercised after the holidays, the illusion of a fresh start from the new year, or a combination of both, healthy living gets a lot of […]
Living Better Overhaul: How to Finally Make This Year Your Healthiest
Admit it: when you said that you were “going to get healthy” in the New Year, you probably pictured yourself at the gym everyday or drinking kale smoothies for each meal. It sure sounds like what we all imagine to be the optimal path for healthiness. After all, consistent exercise and dieting would probably make just […]
Julianne Moore is Unforgettable in “Still Alice”
Hollywood has long been fascinated with bringing a tinge of real life to film in hopes to connect with audiences. While it is a fundamental element in successful film-making, it’s also prised by many who value the subject matter in hopes to spark a discussion that is important. Based on the 2007 New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by neuroscientist and writer Lisa Genova, Still Alice is more than just a film about the struggle of Alzheimer’s. In many ways, it is a harrowing tale of family, love and the effects on our lives from this debilitating disease.
