When you think about Arizona, the first thing that comes to mind is that dry heat, right? Well, Arizona has so much more to offer than just dreadful summers where the temperatures reach 100+ degrees. What a better way to survive the summer heat than indoors eating some of the best food in the valley where the A/C is blasting.

Arizona is a place full of hidden gems that bring so much more than wonder and amazement, but memories to last a lifetime.

Rock Springs is a hidden gem that's been around for 100 years and to this day is still radiating its charm of homestyle cooking. Rock Springs was a blessing in disguise for ranchers and miners in the early 1900s allowing a place of rest during the long trek between Phoenix and Prescott. Its frequent deliverance of home cooked meals and freshly baked pies made fresh daily not only attracted miners and ranchers back in the day, but is a favorable destination for people of all kinds today.

Rock Springs is a place I have grown up loving and is a place filled with some of my fondest memories. The grounds are beautiful and full of adventure. It's a quality photoshoot spot as well!

The Sugar Bowl

Another Hidden gem found in sunny Arizona is a super cute ice cream shop called The Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl is another longtime member of Arizona. It is a place most popularly known for its ice cream bowls and large variety of other sweet treats. Not only does The Sugar Bowl satisfy any sugary craving, but it also has a variety of soups, salads and sandwiches. The Sugar Bowl is a place that works for all occasions and the cute pink accent colors make for a perfect photo opportunity as well.

Chino Bandido

Finally, a hidden gem that has been featured on the popular show "Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins" Chino Bandido. This is a unique twist on your everyday meal because it combines two unlikely cuisines and makes them into one. Chino Bandido is a mix of Mexican food and Chinese food allowing for you to have an Orange Chicken burrito or a Chile Relleno bowl; the possibilities are endless. This place is not only a fun environment filled with unique meals, but with every meal comes a deliciously fresh baked snickerdoodle.

Arizona has so many enchanting places to visit and try out, don't let the summertime heat scare you away from the excellent cuisine found here.

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.
