Surviving Snow Storms

Steps to take and avoid

Surviving Snow Storms
HollywoodLife

With winter storm Jonas tearing through the Northeast over this past weekend (cue your favorite Jonas Brothers tune here), people everywhere are beginning to prepare for the next storm. Looking for their salt, their shovels, their favorite gloves and boots, they begin to think, "How long will I be stuck at home?" "Do we have candles? What about batteries? Firewood?" they ponder. Then the real terror sets in:

"Do we have enough food?"

Everyone's guilty of it. If you live in a dorm, you've probably done it. If you're just beginning to live alone, chances are you'll do it. If you live at home, your mom's definitely done it and you just might have been coerced into doing it yourself. Whenever meteorologists predict inclement weather, people everywhere rush to their favorite grocery store to stock up on their treats of choice. Now, emergency preparedness is important. Homes should always be stocked ready with the right survival necessities should people find themselves in a dangerous situation. Sites like ready.gov and Emergency Preparedness from the CDC are great tools that should be utilized for making plans. Whatever you do to prepare for the winter storms, don't panic like this guy...

Two years ago comedian Vic DiBitetto took the internet by storm (see what I did there) when he posted this video to his YouTube page. Just look at this little snow angel with his bread and milk...

Honestly, props to Vic for being the only one who said what everyone else was thinking! The only thing that makes him happier than snow? Finally earning his 15 minutes of fame...

A stand-up comedian for 30 years, every time a blizzard blows through town DiBitetto's viral video resurfaces. Check out more about him on his Facebook or his website.

Whatever you do during the winter months, stay safe and 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.

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.
