Try Smelling Salts

The Hilarious Video! Ever since I was little I found myself curious about smelling salts. I used to think they were a "mystical" powder that could bring people back from the dead. So at the beginning of the year I decided I wanted this to be a goal. This embarrassing yet hilarious video shows my … Continue reading Try Smelling Salts

Visit Marvin Gaye’s DC House

In case you didn't know, one of Motown's finest (if not just plain finest) was born and raised in Washington, D.C. Also, in case you didn't know, I have a slight obsession with Marvin Gaye, mainly because he was 1. talented, 2. studly, and 3. a little bit tortured. During yesterday's goal mission, we passed … Continue reading Visit Marvin Gaye’s DC House

Additional Freelancing

I'm continuing my #30 goal (freelancing) for beautyXpose with a tutorial on spin pins, which I thought every girl knew about. I found out this was not the case, so I was inspired to spread the word. If you don't know, now you know. - Lyssa

Join Local Pro-choice Protestor

There is a clinic nearby that performs abortions (among many other women's health-related offerings). If you drive by, there is always a group of pro-life protestors picketing. In response to that group, on Saturdays, one man stands on the opposite side of the street, all by himself, holding up pro-choice signs. Through rain or shine, he's … Continue reading Join Local Pro-choice Protestor
