The snow looked like whipped cream placed onto the trees, creating a hushed silence in the forest. The snow was knee-deep, yet the air was not frigid like yesterday, it was a perfect snow day. The sun glistened against the pale white ground creating a spectacle of sparkles. The beauty of nature was captivating, the only bad part was Sarah and Liam were in the ski resort unable to leave their rented cabin. Sarah stood by the window, and she held her steaming cup of mocha, her favorite. She still wore her snow pants and toque even though it was warm in the cabin. Liam, her brother was in the single lounge chair that the cabin had reading his book, while sipping on his Camomile tea.
"Have you looked outside, it's so pretty," said Sarah as she took out her phone and fumbled to take a photo for her Instagram account.
"Yes, it's nice. I would prefer if I could actually go skiing," he complained with a loud sigh.
"Well, we could just bust the window open and pay for the damages later," suggested Sarah as she put her phone away and started to inspect the ice frosted window.
"Great, then we can freeze at night." he said sarcastically.
"Wait, they're shoveling the snow! look they have the trucks out," she exclaimed and eagerly pulled her brother up from the comfy chair.
"Let's get going!" he exclaimed and started to dress in his skiing attire. Sarah put her jacket on.

Make-up is a Scam
Make-up can make someone average feel beautiful, make-up can change the way we look and the way we feel about ourselves. This post may seem hypocritical because I use make-up on special occasions and sometimes to work. I have used make-up on my wedding and even had fake eyelashes and the whole nine yards. However, I think we can also recognize that make-up is no friend to our skin. Think about the chemicals that are in that bottle of foundation:

The Art of Caregiving
Step 1: Patience is a Virtue Your loved one may be in a bad mood, driven by frustration, pain, or depression at being in their current state. This is normal, and expected. As their caregiver, it is up to you to boost their morale, which can be done with positive affirmations and/or physical gestures of love; e.g. hand holding, back rubbing, showering with praise. Note: keep in mind that too much praise can be detrimental. The path to healing has no participation awards, and there are times when a firm yet gentle hand is needed. These occasions may coincide with doling out medication, feeding, and attempts to foster independence. If you have the luxury of being in a hospital/institutional setting, extending patience to the facility's staff is a must. They cannot be everywhere at once, and there are other patients on their rotation besides your loved one. In rare cases where staff members seem especially inattentive, it is considered polite to refrain from wringing necks and spouting verbal abuse. The general rule of thumb is the kinder you treat the staff, the friendlier and more helpful they will be to your loved one in return. This is harder to achieve for many people in a caregiver role, but over time the self-inflicted wounds from chewing one's own tongue to hamburger will heal given sufficient time. Your patience and nerve will be tested at all times. It is of vital import that you remain calm, supportive, and flexible, so that you can cater to whatever needs your loved one may have. Additional restraint may be required if your patience is repeatedly taxed, and not met with the appreciation you feel is deserved. Overall, however, the bulk of your patience will usually be rewarded.
