New Year, New Beginnings...
Every year I will set myself a New Year's resolution because I felt that It would be nice to a set a new goal to achieve. However, learning over time, I realized that New Year's resolutions are never going to be measurable or attainable unless you have the motivation to achieve your goals.

How To Survive Your First Semester at Uni
Having only been at uni for one semester, it seems a bit pointless to write something like this as I am probably just as clueless as people who haven't gone to uni yet, but I know that if I had read something like this there would definitely be a few things I would've done differently.

Gentrification Blues
My late father criticized me when I moved out of the neighborhood where he and my late stepmother lived. “That building probably has graffiti on the walls,” Dad grumbled. Yet the rent in the new place was way less expensive than the rent I had been paying. My dad and stepmother could afford to pay the high price of living in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. They relished rubbing elbows with the well-heeled. I had grown tired of dealing with the area’s elitist climate, and I wanted to live in an area with real people. I found a neighborhood where people leaned out of their windows to wave to their friends. Kids giggled as they ran down the street in packs to get to their next adventure. Mom-and-pop stores were the norm.

Nature's Healthiest Hair Remedies
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 more natural the product and remedy, the better it will heal the structure of your hair. Feeding our hair naturally is as essential as feeding our body naturally.

10 Reasons to Consider Eloping
If you were one of those little girls who dreamed about her wedding, in your head it was probably something similar to this: large white dress, horse-drawn carriage, Mr. Right waiting for you at the end of an aisle, your friends and family surrounding you and gushing about how perfect everything is. You may have never understood why anyone would run off and elope.

2018: A Gamer’s Complete Guide to Horror
As we leave behind 2017—a year marked by the return of Resident Evil, a sequel to Outlast, the polarizing Friday the 13th: The Game, and the eerie whispers of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice—we look ahead to 2018 and the horrors it promises.

Opera's Race Problem
Many of today’s most popular operas traditionally take place in locations considered exotic by Western culture: Verdi’s epic Aida takes place in Ancient Egypt. Puccini’s famous Turandot takes place in medieval China, and his Madame Butterfly in late nineteenth-century Japan.

Becoming a Freelancer
So, you want to be a freelancer? Let me be the first of many to start out by telling you that it sure as heck isn’t going to be easy. If you have thick skin and endless determination, then you “may” have what it takes! Being without steady and/or stable work can cause even the most level-headed of us to crumble under pressure. The pressure to land contacts, jobs, and make connections intensifies when our own livelihood is at stake.

When Abuse Pretends It Isn't
Ok, so this is going to be a touchy article, regardless of what experience you have with it. Talking about mental illness (especially when you don't suffer from anything too serious yourself) is usually considered a little off-base. I try to keep my opinions to myself regarding most precarious social issues because no matter what it seems to cause unnecessary upset feelings and judgement, even if nobody is willing to admit it. But hey, I feel like this is important, and I wish I could have read something like this a year ago when I was in the throes of an abusive relationship and battling a mental illness that wasn't my own. If you've ever felt trapped by guilt, you probably have a good idea where I'm coming from. It really makes you question your morality. I never saw myself as someone who would abandon a person battling a MI, I thought it would make me a bad person and some days I feel like it does.

My Top Tracks of 2017
My favourites of the past year, in no particular order... and yes I included myself in there too.... Mysterious singer, songwriter, and producer that names herself after 'God' and hides her face? Yes please. Elohim was my special find of 2017, an eclectic sound so unique to her alone. She recently finished touring with Alison Wonderland, this is her latest offering. Enjoy.

Throw on that apron and throw out that oven; you won't need it with this super easy no-bake layer cake. When I want dessert, I can never decide on just one.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to inform you, I have found the recipe that does just the trick!
