Brighton, England: The Perfect Seaside Getaway
Emily Washbourn

Brighton, which is situated in southern England, is a funky beach town known for its overwhelming support of the LGBTQ+ community, pier and shops. It is the cutest town with endless things to do and see and if you are ever getting tired of fast-paced London, Brighton is the perfect place to go to reset, relax, and enjoy a nice day by the water. If you ever want to hop off a train and head to this wonderful little town, here are some things you should do.

1. Go to the Brighton Palace Pier

Grab some food, play some arcade games or go on a roller coaster! Brighton Palace Pier is the heart of any beach town and has plenty to do for visitors of all ages.

2. Check out the street art

Emily Washbourn

Brighton has some pretty cool street art, so make sure to stop and snap a picture when you walk past it!

3. Go to the North and South Lanes

These "Lanes" are basically streets that are closed off to cars with endless shops, name brand and originals, food, coffee, knickknacks, etc. and during Christmas, have lights strung above!

4. Watch the sunset on the ocean

Unlike the east coast in the US, you can watch the sunset right on the beach in Brighton! It truly is a beautiful view!

5. Grab some gelato at Boho Gelato

No matter what the temperature is outside, there is never an excuse not to get this gelato! It was so amazing and comes in vegan flavors so everyone can enjoy! I got the chocolate and strawberry, which I highly recommend.

6. Snag a photo with the famous Brighton snails! 

Emily Washbourn

As a way to benefit Martlets, which provides life change hospice care, these snails are all over Brighton. They are all decorated in their own unique way and Prince Harry and Megan Markle even took a photo with one while visiting Brighton! So make sure to snap a photo of your favorite snail to keep for the memories!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
