5 Summer Essentials

Well it is officially summer down here in the First State...that's Delaware for those of you who don't know!! As we kicked off MDW at the pool and then the beach I'd say I have 5 summer essentials that I will ALWAYS have with me. Check them out down below!!

1. SUNSCREEN

Now I know this is pretty obvious but I got a really bad spotty sunburn this weekend and I did put screen on!! It is important to always have sunscreen on especially your face/lips. Nothing is worse than burning your lips. So sunscreen is KEY!

2. Rainbow Sandals

THE BEST sandals I have ever bought!! I have the regular thick band and the small band. They not only look great, but once they're broken in they are extremely comfortable. They dry in seconds and last a very long time. Definitely a summer 2916 MUST HAVE.

3. Ray Bans

Now I know they are really expensive for a pair of sunglasses BUT I buy mine off amazon and get great deals. Yes, they are real Ray Bans not knock offs. I have four pairs and LOVE every one. Whether you're at the pool, the beach or walking around town, Ray Bans are the way to go.

4. Lifeproof Case

Best case I have ever purchased. I no longer have to be worried about having my phone out when it is raining or when I am holding a cold coffee the dew on it ruining my phone. I am always dropping my phone and with the lifeproof case I know it will be safe. Plus since it is water proof its great for a day at the beach or pool!!

5. Good Music

Nothing completes an awesome day out like some good music to jam to! At a bbq, you HAVE to have music, that is what completes the day! Whether you are driving around in the car with friends or taking a walk around the development, good music will be sure to make you feel happy!

Enjoy summer 2016 people, I know I will!!!!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
