Sprinkle Some More Salt And Pepper Into Your Taste Buds To Learn More About Cultural Diversity

A different cuisine transports you to a whole new world where you can delve into the mixed flavors of a single dish.

Trying different cuisines is immensely imperative to fully exploring the spice of life! As an adventurous foodie, I exquisitely relish in trying various types of cuisines and seem to like almost all of them! Honestly, my favorites are Indian and Chinese as I have been brought up in a household with an interplay of these two cultures. In addition, I'm a huge fan of seafood like shrimp, salmon, and lobster. I strongly believe that following the healthy eating plate and the food pyramid should be adhered to consistently on a regular basis!

The healthy eating plate ensures that you are receiving all the nutrition that you will need to remain full and active for longer durations. Once we embark upon the task of trying new and unique cuisines from around the world, we tend to learn more about the vast array of cultural attributes that have been inculcated in the Western world. As a matter of fact, according to CNN, most of the popular foods that we love and are addicted to immigrated from overseas. For instance, our top most favorite French Fries have originated from Belgium or Dutch and the classic slice of pizza came from Italy. It is really remarkable how so many of our favorite everyday meals have been amalgamated into American dishes and how they are products of numerous cultures instead of just one!

A different cuisine transports you to a whole new world where you can delve into the mixed flavors of a single dish. Furthermore, I enjoy eating soup because it is a special and soothing treat that adds to the main entree. Some examples of soups that I recommend outside of the very famous "Chicken noodle soup" would be Lentil soup, Minestrone, and Thai soup. Soups are the dynamic surplus which enhances a meal's quality and quantity. In other words, it adds its own sprinkle of delicious flavor into the entire meal. Thus, the more you aspire to increase the intensity of your taste buds, the more lively your interaction with various cultures will turn out to be!

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.

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.
