Best Wine Glass Decorating Ideas
Wine glasses are the best simply because they can be used to enjoy my favorite beverage in the world. It's wine, by the way, and wine cocktails. But wine glasses can actually be used for so many other things rather than for drinking. And there are a lot of people out there who get creative with wine glasses. When they come across a new set of wine glasses, what do they do with the old set? Some people toss them out (always recycle though!), give them away to someone in need of wine glasses, or...

5 Tips for New Vegans
1. It's a gradual process. Although some people may do best by quitting animal products cold turkey, it can make the process a lot easier if you slowly incorporate vegan meals into your diet. You can start by eliminating red meats, then poultry and fish, and finally eggs and dairy. You can also just try out being vegetarian and then work your way up.

Mortgage Tips for First-Time Homebuyers to Know
If you're like me, you have heard some serious horror stories from homebuyers who lost their homes during the Great Recession. Getting a mortgage is a risky endeavor which basically locks you into an agreement to pay on a home for the next decade or so—and if you're not wise, it can quickly be the cause of you filing for bankruptcy.

I Just Want to Be Happy. Or Do I?
As a society, we have accepted the belief that emotions disrupt rational thought, and any state other than happiness is a mental inconvenience or imbalance. This causes us to chase after pleasure, instant gratification and external validation instead of examining our inner world and what it is that we truly want. When something upsets us, we distract ourselves. We rarely face the issue and figure out a way to fix it.

A Former Officer and a Former Inmate: Who's Actually the Bad Guy?
PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND – What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “police”? You might recall the most recent incident of police brutality that was shared on every social media platform. Or maybe you think about a time when an officer made you feel safe and protected. How about when you hear the word “inmate” or imagine someone who has been incarcerated? Perhaps you associate these people with danger or allow your perception of them to linger on their delinquency, maybe even their race. Or you might be reminded of loved ones who need more guidance and love.

Movie Review: 'Black Panther'
I don’t want to confine Black Panther to the fact of its nearly all-Black cast. However, as I sat to enjoy the latest addition to Marvel’s cinematic universe, the genuine importance of Black Panther’s identity washed over me and I felt a surge of excitement. Yes, there have been Black superheroes before; Blade especially stands out. But this is an entire universe of dark-skinned people portrayed with complexity and humor.

Happy Birthday
“A few of my friends and I are going out for my birthday next week. Do you want to join us?” I looked at Lilia in shock. We had only been roommates for one semester, and although we got along well, I had never hung out with her and her friends before. Of German and Spanish descent, but born and raised in Toronto, Lilia was beautiful, trilingual, and the most musically inclined person I had ever met.

Taking Your Own Wedding Photographs
When me and my wife were planning our wedding, one thing we always tried to keep low was cost, whether it was caterers, location, officiants, or accommodation. But one thing we couldn’t find was an affordable photographer to fit within our budget and our idea of having a small elopement-style wedding. So seeing as myself and my now sister-in-law are both photographers, it was a obvious choice to do it ourselves.

Crypto Influencers to Follow Right Now
Last year was apparently the year of the cryptocurrency, as so many have begun to consider it, but in all actuality it was really just the year of the bitcoin in my opinion. With that being said, it's safe to say that the future of cryptocurrencies in general will greatly be modified and adapted the more we progress into this highly expansive tomorrow, necessitating the need for a more organic, open, and secure form of exchange. The proof-of-work function and blockchain technology that go into various platforms have the makings of incentivizing a completely new and revolutionary cross-form arena in financial markets and banking.
