It's finally summer, SUMMER 16' and the sun is finally out shining as bright as can be and as young adults we're constantly looking for things to do.

What can you do to make your summer more interesting, productive and entertaining?

Well if you're like me and live in the NJ/NY area and are looking for activities that are cost effective, here is a list that will help in making your summer that much more eventful.

1. The Blacklight Run

Costs: $20

Location: NYC

My personal favorite (because I've attended 😂) the black light run is a 5k race, more like a walk, jog, or run depending on personal preference.

The Black light run is more of a party than anything because from the moment you arrive in the early evening you are greeted by hosts & a DJ where you pre-game (eat, laugh, dance, and just have fun). You get real pumped up, go through the course and end your night with an after party filled with colors. It's a great time & don't worry the color washes right out!

Rules

The Blacklight Run™ has been setup with very simple rules:

1) Wear a white shirt (any white T-shirt will work or wear your awesome commemorative Blacklight Run™ T-Shirt given with your registration) to be worn at the start line.

2) You will finish covered in Blacklight Run UV Neon Glow Powder, that will glow in our Blacklight Zones™ and at the Blacklight Run After Party.

By the end, you will look like you fell into a Ghost Buster’s movie (minus the slime) and covered with different colored Blacklight Run UV Neon Glow Powder. This is the first of its kind at night and is quickly sweeping the nation!

2. Snowchella

Cost: $20

Location: NYC


No, not Coachella but Snowchella. New York's very own. Snowchella is EDM foam party meets circus at night.. Literally!

Snowchella was created to bring together the greatest live event possible. Snowchella is seen as a personal experience combining the Cirque Du Soleil spectacle with an incredible music concert.


3. Blacklight Slide

Cost: $20

Location: NYC

Blacklight Run? No.. Blacklight Slide. It's EVERYTHING the run has to offer, party and all, without the run because this one's all about sliding.

The Blacklight Slide will leave you glowing with amazement and waiting for the next one!

Rules:

1) Wear a white shirt or suitable swimsuit top. Swimsuits are welcome.

2) Grab your inner-tube for optimal sliding! (Max size is a 36 inch inner-tube) Special Edition Blacklight Slide™ inner-tubes are available for purchase.

3) HAVE FUN! When you’re done sliding you’ll be covered in Blacklight Slide™ UV Neon Glowing water color!

4) Have the time of your life at the Blacklight Slide After Party! With Neon Glow In The Dark water and music to make your head spin from one of the top DJ’s in the country brought to your city just for you.

4. Beaches

Cost: $8-$9

Location: NJ/NYC/EVERYWHERE


It's sand, sun, water, & swimsuits.. What more is there to say?

It's the simplest way to have FUN!!!

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.
