Weather Ticks for Better Days
Taking trips even without a vehicle or a massive amount of money was normal before being told to stay at home to “self isolate” on highway signs. Not only from the beach but the library, museums, nightlife and the parks was considered expected. It was undoubtedly so that when it was again gonna be a thing, or better than that, the little things in life we do as people that brings us joy, that they will. The thought of doing so again fills me with even more so wanderlust than before.

Kissing Las Vegas
When the downtown of my city opens again I will take my friends or companions and we will follow the night to where the wind blows! Wether it be a spontaneous adventure to The Strip, Fremont Street, a complementary show at a nightclub, or a view with music of the Bellagio Fountains and taking selfies with costumed strangers. With the different possibilities in the air we won’t need a mask for, we will see the life in and outside of the casinos again as it was before COVID19 and follow what the nightlife has to offer us.

A Flight of Imagination
The series of fortunately unfortunate occurrences all began when I arrived back home after being out for the night. Completely unprepared for what I would find I entered my room to see that my bird cage had managed to go from hanging in the air from the ceiling to being on the ground no longer attached. A sense of panic went through me as I came to the realization that my bird was not in her cage. Completely devastated but mentally prepared as I was expecting to find her dead I frantically started searching. My cat whom I had been worried about wether she had escaped the night before was ,to my relief, sitting next to my bed pretending to be innocent.

For the majority of women, we've all known, at one time or another, what it feels like to have dry, brittle, lifeless hair with split ends. Whether it's from bad weather, inadequate products, a bad diet, or heating accessories that damage the hair, we've all been there, trying to bring out the best in our 'do—trying to test and find the perfect hair product to bring our hair back to life and heal our split ends. Our hair can get unhealthy, from the sulfates in our shampoos to the 345 degree heat frying our hair coming from our straightener, and the point is that it sucks. Not only do the majority of average quality shampoos have sulfates in them, which dries out our hair, but let's admit it, not every hair product that's advertised works as good as it would all natural.

The Cons of Smoking Cigarettes for Smokers
Smoking cigarettes not only smells bad, but it is just as bad for you. The smell that lingers causing secondhand smoke that they banned from bars and restaurants is something to avoid. Ever wondered just how bad it is for your lungs and bodies or others around you every time you go on a smoke break? It's worse than some people think or like to admit. Every cigarette that you smoke takes away seven minutes of your lifetime. Doesn't sound like much, but if you do the math it adds up like it's black tar that builds up in your lungs. If you smoke one pack a day for a year that's 33 days out of your life and $2,920 dollars out of your pocket.
