There’s always that one guy or gal in a group fitness class. You know them. It’s the second to last song, your face is like a salty Niagara but they’re hardly breathing hard. In fact, they don’t sweat, they perspire – despite loading the bar with an impressive amount of weights.
If you don’t know that guy, chances are you are that guy.

Life can get pretty stressful. From work to family life and everything in between, it doesn’t stop to give us time to relax and de-stress. While the idea of a day at the spa seems wonderful, in theory, it isn’t always possible to slow down and take a break.

In addition to giving the family an opportunity to show love for their pets, it’s also a great time for family members to bond with each other.

Hey There,
It’s that time of year – we’re back in the school flow and we’re feeling pretty good. A little too good, actually. Nothing can stop us now! Unless, of course, our kids come home with some sort of contagious illness like Coxsackie virus, otherwise known as “Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease”.
Parenting is hard enough, so throwing in a strange childhood illness that’s on the rise, and giving it a name like “Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease”, is no bueno.
The first time a new parent hears th...

Although the list can include anything (depending on your rock star status, of course), this list is most often a mixture of foods and drinks that the band wishes to have backstage before and after their performance. The tour rider is actually part of the bigger show contract, which includes terms and conditions, tech needs, sound, and setup, as ...

There are a lot of misconceptions about how to forge a successful script writing career. I’ve seen people move from their home in the Midwest out to New York City just to get their big break.
Then, when things didn’t work out, they headed out to Los Angeles in hopes of meeting the right people, selling a script and launching a career in screenwriting. But, that’s not always how it works…
Can You Start A Script Writing Career From Outside LA?
Absolutely. I believe as long as you have a compell...

Nothing takes a long trail run from good to great quite like the perfect pair of headphones. The crisp, clear sound of your favorite band singing in your ears is enough to make even the most exhausted runner kick it up a notch on that 8th mile. Of course, a bad pair can make an otherwise enjoyable run as excruciating as a heel blister. Bouncing in and out of your ears, a bad connection, or worthless with a few drops of sweat are all issues that you don’t want when it comes to groovin’ on the ...
