Scammers Want You To Fall For These
I remember being around 4 years old, and was very fascinated with the iron my mom was using to make my dad’s shirts “flat.” Even though she told me multiple times to not touch it because it was hot, I felt like I needed to test what she said. Yep, I got burnt! Many people, […]

To live, we need to eat! It’s a basic concept to you and I, but the problem sometimes lies in fact that we’re eating…but what we’re eating could get us sick. Not in the, “I ate waaaaay too much pizza” sick side, but the “What did this touch?” side. To make sure you won’t be […]
Her Realness Through Facebook.
Sharing is what Facebook is in the business for. Everything from baby announcements, wedding photos, and how many hotdogs you thought you could chow-down in 5 minutes.

Do You Need A “Good Job” At Times?
They’re called “Man’s Best Friend,” but not all dogs are the sweetest, most loving creatures around.
