Mystic, Connecticut is a coastal town, near Rhode Island that is full of history and much charm. It is a quintessential Connecticut coastal town that is a perfect place to spend a summer day.

To begin your day in Mystic, stop by Sift Bake Shop located on Water Street and enjoy a number of delicious French pastries, such as croissants, along with scones, sticky buns, and muffins. They also have amazing fresh bread that is made every morning, in house.

There is a large glass window that costumers can watch the bakers through as well. Also, enjoy your morning coffee or tea while you’re here. Sift Bake Shop opens at 7:00 AM, seven days a week and has extended summer hours as well.

After enjoying your morning pastry and coffee, stroll through the town of Mystic and the many shops it has to offer on West Main Street and the following side streets.

Bank Square Books is a great independent book store that you can spend much time in strolling around and browsing for your new beach/summer book.

Some other stores to stop by that are unique or special to Mystic include Tidal River Clothing Company, Mystic Knotwork, Sea Bags Mystic, and The Space and Tea Exchange.

For lunch, try Mystic Soup Company, a great place for soups (of course), salads, and paninis. Check their Facebook page daily for their soups that they are serving that day. This is a place that locals love and is located on Williams Avenue. The hours are small, just from 11am-3pm, but that’s the perfect time for lunch.

Then spend your afternoon at the amazing Mystic Aquarium. Explore the large tanks of many different types of fish, turtles, jelly fish, and more. Then travel outside to see the penguins and visit the largest beluga whale in the United States. Don’t forget to catch a sea lion show in the Foxwoods Marine Theater which is included in your admission ticket cost.

The perfect end to your day in Mystic includes enjoying your favorite ice cream at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream on West Main Street.

Soak in the views and the charm of Mystic off the Drawbridge, while you enjoy your ice cream!

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.

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.
