How about some......

DONUTS!!!!!!

Did you know that more than 10 BILLION donuts are made every year only in the U.S.? Some other facts: the largest donut ever made was an American-style jelly donut weighing 1.7 tons, which was 16 feet in diameter and 16 inches high in the center.  The average glazed donut, which is the most popular, has only 200 calories! So, how about a donut today?? You deserve it!!!!

Girl Power - Happy Women's Day!

Happy Women's Day to all girls out there!

Today, the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements all over the world.

Originally called International Working Women's Day, the holiday started as a Socialist political event in the early 20th century, quickly blending in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia and the former Soviet bloc. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day or Valentine's Day.

Make everyday International Women's Day!  Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding!

The Taste of Summer

Hair gets lighter. Skin gets darker.

Water gets warmer. Drinks get colder.

Music gets louder. Nights get longer.

Life gets better.

Latte Art

While many agree that making a good cup of coffee is an art within itself, latte art refers to patterns made in the foam topping espresso drinks.

If you want to get in touch with your inner barista (expert in coffee preparation), latte art is a critical skill, which can take years to master. Learn how to do it here.

Thanks a latte!

Anonymous Chocaholics

"My name is .... and I'm a chocaholic".

If I had to make a confession, it would probably be this one. However, like everything in life, it is the dose that makes the poison. Also, they say that money can't buy it can buy chocolate, which is pretty close. So why not treat yourself once in a while with a delicious chocolate bar?

I'm on a boat

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
