University student and perpetual procrastinator, Elizabeth Rosalyn has chosen to put her Google/Wikipedia researching skills to good use by sharing her findings on random topics in her next installment of “The More You Know”. This month, she navigates the net for the origins of the expression, “It’s Raining Cats and Dogs!” The world has been […]
Beauty Spotlight: Kristie Stoodley
I’ve had a fascination with makeup for as long as I can remember. My aunt was a cosmetologist, my Godmother an Avon lady, and I was always rummaging through mom’s makeup bag when she wasn’t paying attention. Sorry, Mom. I was drawn in by the vibrant hues and the idea of transformation, and still am […]
Stress Awareness Month
April is Stress Awareness Month. It’s also the month that US and Canadian taxes are due, the month when college students take exams, and when “wedding season” unofficially begins. Our lives are full of stress, frustrations, problems, and bad days, so it’s no wonder that an entire month has been designated to talk about the […]
He Said, She Said: Being The Third Wheel
At some point or another, we’ve all experienced being a third wheel. You may have heard the expression before and while it’s not the most pleasant experience, it is something we most often can’t avoid when hanging out with friends and their new significant others. Being one is usually considered a negative thing in any […]
He Said, She Said: Falling in Love With Your Best Friend
Friendships are a key component to our lives and help us grow emotionally and mentally. In all its beauty, the dynamic is essentially rooted in a specific concern and care for a friend. Most times it’s a concern and care which might reasonably be understood as a kind of love, though at times a broader […]
Chase Your Dream Today
Are you chasing after your biggest goals in life? If you aren’t, what fears are stopping you? It is easy to be intimidated by questions like these. It is even easier to push these crucial thoughts to the back of your mind while telling yourself you will deal with it later. But when does “later” […]
A Little Heaven On Earth
On this Easter Sunday, heaven is a hot topic among people. So is hope, a new beginning, or even angels. There is a place here on earth, that I like to describe as a little heaven on earth. It is a place where terminally ill children get a chance to feel normal. Where angels are […]

Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Easter every year marks a special place in our holiday season. Not only is it a holiday that is light, easy-going and brings families together, but it also takes place at the end of March when spring is really coming into bloom. I’ve taken a look at the traditions of Easter, and some new ones […]
Top Women in Journalism
Recently I picked up the latest issue of Cosmopolitan while waiting in line at the grocery store. Within the April issue, was a mini magazine labeled Cosmo Careers. Now granted, I am a few years away from officially entering the work field as a hopeful broadcast journalist. Nevertheless, I thought skimming through this magazine couldn’t hurt. What was […]
A Little Bit of Pixie Dust, and a Pair of Running Shoes
A little less than a month ago, a pair of Mickey Mouse ears and a tiara were packed into my suitcase. The reason? I was traveling to the Disney Half Marathon Princess Weekend to compete with 15 runners that I coach for a unique racing opportunity like none other. The race took place on February 22-24 […]
Adventures in Cleansing
Writing is often about communicating experiences, feelings, and emotions to other people. As an exercise in both writing and life, I recently chose to participate in what is now a fairly common health practice. The practice that I am referring to is known as a juice cleanse. This cleanse consists of 3 days in which […]
