 As I have gotten older I have begun to realize just how unhealthy most people are. For instance according to this CDC article, only about "1 in 10 adults" are eating enough vegetables or fruits. Although I hate to admit it, I am most certainly among those 9 out of 10 adults who do not eat enough fruits or vegetables. While I was in high school, I remember the only times I would ever eat a vegetable or fruit was when I was forced to by my parents, it was getting so bad that I probably ate around 4 fruits in my sophomore year of high school. Obviously, at the time I did not think much of it, however, reflecting on it now that's a terrible way to live, fruits and vegetables have a lot of the necessary nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that we need to live healthy lives. Although it may be difficult for most people to get their necessary amount of greens and vitamins in, there is a solution that I have been utilizing for the past year. The solution is dietary supplements:  ...

I wanted to talk a little bit about an ad that I thought was extremely funny. This is one of Allstate's mayhem advertisements (of which there are a bunch) that deals with homeowners who own a cat. They have a perfect blend of humor and seriousness while trying to emphasize their purpose in this ad.  To start, we see a man acting as a cat throughout the ad, and as a cat would act he starts doing mischievous things. For instance, he smacks a sink and turns it on, he was sitting on a Roomba as it was making its rounds around the room, and he even was seen smacking a lit candle off a countertop.

 Recently, I have been craving sweets a lot more than usual, for instance, after eating lunch today I was really craving a chocolate cake. Sadly I don't have chocolate cake at home, in fact, I barely have anything sweet at home since my family and I have been trying to cut down on our intake of sweets. Nonetheless, the cravings for something sweet got more and more severe, each passing minute felt direr than the last and I even felt myself filling up with anger at the fact there were no sweets at home. Then, a solution presented itself to me on a silver platter, I was scrolling through videos on YouTube and found a video about a mug cake.  It was a chocolate mug cake, and although the name is not too appealing, the actual presentation was very promising:                                                ...

 I always like to eat spicy foods such as spicy ramen and spicy curry, I even like to drizzle hot sauce on food that others may not think requires hot sauce. I love the heat these food bring, even though they are equivalent to the Sahara desert, they are still enjoyable for the flavor and taste they bring. Upon eating these spicy foods most people would naturally reach for dairy products such as milk, or even ice cream to cool their mouths off from the diabolical heat that spicy foods bring with them. However, unlike others, I calm my mouth off from this heat in a different way, even though chugging milk like this:                                                                            Image Credit seems to be the most efficient way to cool off your mouth, I personally enjoy a different meth...
