4th of July: Red, White, and Food
feelgrafix.com

In case you weren't aware that the most American of all of the American holidays is upon us or you've been avoiding thinking about all of the food and drink required to keep everyone entertained before the fireworks start, I have complied a list of party favorites so that you don't have to! Time to get on your red (wine), red (wine), and food!

These "Firework Piña Coladas" really put a spark in your step! These delicious and colorful fruity concoctions actually aren't much more difficult to make than regular ones! Link to recipe Here

This is so easy that if I can make it, you certainly can too! All you need is ice cream and sprinkles. Seriously. Recipe here in case you really cant figure it out from this picture.

Red, White, and Blue fruit pizza is what fruitcake is to the Holidays. Everyone brings it and it never gets fully eaten, but the amount of pointless time you spent on it is impressive. Recipe here

I need this in my life like...right now. It's a watermelon blueberry patriotic something that looks delicious. The blue rim seems like too much work but I guess it will look pretty to look at! Link here

This is another one of these super easy recipes that is pretty self explanatory, Strawberry + Chocolate + neon blue sprinkles = happiness.

If someone can tell me how to get them this pretty, I will be forever grateful. This is one of those recipes that seems easy but when you actually do it for yourself it never quite looks the same as the picture. Recipe here if you are willing to try it out and impress your guests!

This is the super easy alcoholic partner to those super easy food recipes we talked about earlier. It's literally a gin and tonic with blueberry and raspberry to give it color. Recipe here for those who still can't figure this out.


Have a happy and safe 4th of July and God Bless America!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
