Since there is snow covering the ground with just one day left until the start of spring, many people are getting antsy waiting for the snow to melt and our true spring to arrive. I took this opportunity to go skiing at Red Granite…something I have waited five years to do. So what do you […]

In the midst of this spring semester, as we are conquering our midterm exams, it has been a really busy time of year. Most recently, I have been applying for available marketing jobs.

When thinking about Paris one thing always comes to mind for me, besides the Eiffel Tower, and that’s desserts. Delicious desserts of all kinds!

It’s a common stereotype that the French supposedly are rude to tourists, especially Americans, and after spending the weekend there I can say I didn’t get that impression at all.

We were told it never snowed here but it’s probably snowed at least five times, although it’s always short periods on time and […]

It is almost two months after you made your New Year’s resolutions. So how are you doing with these goals? If you are like me and many others, you haven’t exactly held to these goals perfectly. Yet, what time is better than now to get a second chance at restarting those resolutions? Here are some […]

With Valentine’s Day just over a week ago, it reminded me how important relationships are in our lives. Whether your relationships are professional, romantic, or even just friendships … they are each important in their own way. Sometimes though, it is difficult to make time for everyone you want to fit into your life. That […]
