Thirst Quenching Drinks You Can Make With Beer
Whenever most of us head out to lunch, to the beach, to a football game, a concert, or any outing with our friends, we grab a pack of beer.

Whether you love Corona, Heineken, Coors Light, Guinness, or even canned craft beers—many people settle on their favorite type.

The Trouble With Mary Jane
Introduction With many people around the world smoking Cannabis for the purpose of pain relief of all types, one can easily see that it provides very clear benefits.

The morning of my husband's deployment wasn't like any other morning.

Benefits of a Vegan Diet
I’ve gone back and forth with myself about whether to write this or not, when I was given the subject I was excited. But I very quickly reclined and have been putting it off for over a month now. The reason? I don’t want the backlash that comes from it. Isn’t that funny? I can write openly about my sex life and intimate details of my relationship, but I am worried about the backlash from writing about what I choose to eat?!
