Chip And Joanna Gaines Have Created An Empire
Alli Kliewer

Chip and Joanna Gaines, known for their show on HGTV, Fixer Upper, have created something that draws in visitors from all across the United States. Their time on TV will easily sustain them financially for their rest of their lives, but the couple strove to do more. Together, they created Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas. Magnolia is a gathering place by two silos. This Gaines' property holds a bakery, store, gift shop, and tons of outside seating as well as food trucks that line the perimeter. Magnolia brought in 1.6 million visitors just last year, and they employ over 600 locals.

The couple became famous throughout their years on HGTV which started in May of 2013. They weren't the first HGTV home fixers, but they are arguably the most famous. Other HGTV celebrities include Jonathan and Drew Scott from their show Property Brothers. As Chip and Joanna Gaines built up Magnolia Market, they were able to add on two more properties. One was a discount shop and the other is a restaurant. Magnolia Table, Joanna's restaurant, is known to have multiple hour-long wait times, but that doesn't stop hundreds of people from going every day. While customers wait they have the option of enjoying coffee and pastries in the well designed outside cafe. Upon being seated, Magnolia Table has a menu that is sure to wow anyone. Options such as summer salads, chicken salad sandwiches, and asparagus quiches are popular, as well as Chip's Burger.

Some of the restaurant's recipes can be found in Joanna Gaines' cookbook. She recently partnered with Target to sell some of her favorite home accessories. This partnership also helped her release her cookbook filled with her recipes and some from her and Chip's parents. Chip and Joanna Gaines have spread their empire far beyond the screen. Magnolia Market is a wonder and joy to experience. Even if you can't make it down to Waco, Texas, you can still find the Gaines' touch around the country.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
