Best Beach Honeymoon Destinations
Honestly, once I get married, I'm looking forward to the honeymoon way more than the actual wedding. Weddings are beautiful ceremonies, but can be very stressful to plan, and even more so if you're going the DIY wedding route. But the honeymoon is where you finally get to relax with your new wife or husband and just let the stress wash away in the ocean waves. That is, of course, if you go to the beach for a honeymoon, which you absolutely should. Beach honeymoons are the most popular type, and for good reason. There's literally no greater feeling than sitting in the sun, one hand holding your partners', and the other hand holding your favorite tropical drink. What else could you need in life? There are a lot of beautiful beaches out there though, and it can be hard to rifle through travel websites to find out what you're looking for. So we've got a general list of the best beach honeymoon destinations for you so that you can narrow down your options to the perfect place.

The Star Wars: The Tale Before the Force
Greetings, young ones. May the fourth be with you. And if for some reason this article comes out the next day, then long live the fifth. Either way, for Jedi and Sith alike, today is basically one of the largest pop culture holidays of all time. I can't think of any others so widely celebrated. As padawans and their masters celebrate more than 40 years of the force, it’s important to look back where it all started.

The Marriage Contract
I am an old guy. I have been around the block more times than I can remember. Even still, I thought about sitting at a table one night to compose my bucket list. Take part in an Olympic sport. Get my doctorate degree. Meet a Pope. You guessed it. I would put on it all the things I once fantasized about; things that seemed too far-fetched to accomplish. There is only one thing that will never reside on my bucket list—marriage. I'd have a much better time if I had put down "Walking on Mars on my list. I'd have a much better chance of reaching those goals.

Must Have Items for Any Roadside Emergency
I know most drivers are like me, you say you'll make a list of items for any roadside emergency to have in your car and never get around to getting them. It's okay, we all do it, there's no shame in admitting it. I was recently in a little fender bender, my first accident, and the front end of my car was slightly banged up. Thankfully, my car was in good enough condition to drive home but it got me thinking how unprepared I would be if I encountered any major problems in the future.

10 Ways to Be More Eco-Friendly
This is my statement. We have one shot to make the planet one we can strive on and live on for all our years to come and the generations behind us. I have taken the plunge to live a minimal waste lifestyle. This includes replacing my plastics with bamboo, recycling the containers in which my groceries come in, refusing bags when I shop, and using reusable cups and containers for my guilty Starbucks pleasure. The trash we have produced has created TWO vortexs of TRASH in the Pacific Ocean!

Kanye West's 2018 Media Frenzy
Kanye West is no stranger to controversy. Actually, he welcomes controversy and backlash with open arms as he realizes they will culminate into “breakthroughs.” He’s on a constant mission of self-discovery and expression—regardless of whether he’s politically correct. He can’t wait to ruffle feathers, or in some cases, pluck them unapologetically.

Marpac Dohm's White Noise Machine Will Give You the Best Night's Sleep
When I had my first child, it was an absolute nightmare to put her to sleep. She was so sensitive to noises that she would immediately wake up from the sound of a pin dropping. What was worse was that we were living in a small apartment at the time and I couldn't tell if my neighbors were wild animals or humans! There were times when I actually had to hit the ceiling with a broom to shut them up. Even though I was desperate to move out, my husband and I still didn't have the money to get a house.

14 Standalone Star Wars Stories That We'd Love to See Come to Life
Rogue One has been an absolutely smashing success amongst fans and critics and is likely to become another huge hit. The film was risky seeing how it’s technically the first big budget Star Wars film that doesn’t feature Jedi or any member of the Skywalker family. But what it does show that there is an audience that is desperately hungry to see new portions of the Star Wars universe explored?

Best Positions for Pregnancy Sex
Pregnancy sex is not easy. It can be hard to deal with body changes and hormone fluctuations. In fact, you might not even be attracted to your partner during this time. This happens for the same reason that contraception can affect your sex drive.

Vocal for Beginners
Vocal basics are easy to learn, even as a newbie. My advice, by the way, comes from someone new at this as well, but I have had to figure it out for myself. I am hoping to save you time and effort in getting your words read. First of all, read the resource section at Vocal. It is full of information about writing and how Vocal works. Don't be wreaked if a posting is turned down. Fix it until it is accepted. When I first started at Vocal, I read postings to see what type of stuff they published, but I didn't go far enough. Most of what I saw was a walk-down-memory-lane type stuff. I rewrote some stuff I had on a website I made up for my children full of memories of our good times and bad. They were schmaltzy, but they got published. However, nobody was reading them. So I got daring and started posting articles on the sciences I love. I got a few more people reading my words. I have never been on social media of any kind; no Facebook or tweeting at all. I joined both. But I have to say, I am still getting a handle on Twitter. The easiest one suggested by Vocal is StumbleUpon. Go to the site first and learn how to stumble before you post. There are many different categories under which to put your post. You want to determine which category will get you the most views. For instance, I posted an article on evolution. I could have put it under evolution or the more general topic of science. I chose the more general topic. Then, several weeks later, I posted it in evolution. Repostings like this can drive up your readership. I post articles from my science magazines and make sure I stumble other articles every day. It is painless, and I've read some really good stuff. Reddit is a lot more difficult for me because they have so many rules! Their family category doesn't allow any pictures, which leaves out anything suitable for Vocal because pictures are big on this site. The science category only accepts peer-reviewed articles, so that's a dead end for me. The rules are tough to work around and I get hundreds of more reads from StumbleUpon than I do at Reddit. Reddit readers also contact you, and they are not always kind. So your skin must be tough.

Ode to a Time When Justice Looks Different, We Listen to Women and Survivors, and Blackness Is Not Used as a Means to Support Serial Rapists
All over social media, Cosby rape apologists are passionately decrying his conviction. It doesn’t seem to matter that he admitted to putting Quaaludes in the drinks of the 62 women he violated. He framed drugging the women in a cavalier manner because apparently everyone used to do ‘ludes in the 60s. You know, no big deal. He just forgot that really essential part of allowing the women to consent to drugs and sex before chemically rendering them immobile and unable to say yes or no. He even joked about slipping mickeys in women’s drinks in a 1969 comedy routine. He clearly felt an unquestioned entitlement to these women’s bodies. And somehow, the voices of 62 women are eclipsed to many by the perspectives of one powerful man who wanted to drug women and assault them, but not have any consequences for those actions.

First Ever Real Estate Deal Closed Using Cryptocurrency
There's an apocryphal tale making the rounds on the web about a guy who, on a lark, bought a few hundred dollar's worth of Bitcoin in its early days and, after storing the digital info on a memory stick, threw it into the dark recesses of a desk drawer, promptly forgetting all about it.
