What NOT To Get Your Girlfriend For Valentine's Day

  1. Exercise Equipment:  No girl wants to be reminded of her weight, especially on Valentine's Day.  There's no better way to kill the mood then to remind her of the fact that she probably should be running instead of eating that fancy dessert.
  2. Stuffed Animals:  Yes they are cute at the time, but what do you do with them February 15th?  These are better left at the store.
  3. Cheap Bath Products:  Girls get enough of these on Christmas to last until next year.  Go to Victoria's Secret, Lush, or even Bath and Body Works if you want to get her any kind of lotions, body sprays, or body washes since that's your safest bet.  Leave the ones from The Dollar Store, Marshall's, and TJ Maxx behind.
  4. Gift Cards:  Gift cards say, 'I wasn't sure what to get you, because I didn't want to think too hard about it because I'm lazy so I'll be taking the easy way out'.  No girl wants to be an afterthought.  
  5. An Animal:  Never buy an animal without talking long and hard about it to everyone involved.  Animals are a huge responsibility.  It's not fair to the person you're buying it for or the animal itself.
  6. Gag Gifts:  No girl wants a whoopee cushion or fake vomit or plastic dog poop ever.  EVER.
  7. Trashy Lingerie:  Let's be honest, this gift is for the giver, not the receiver.  And everyone knows this.
  8. Book of Homemade Coupons:  This was cute when you were six and had no money but you still wanted to get your mom a Mother's Day gift, but now this is just cheap and dumb.
  9. Domestic Gadgets:  Nothing is as unsexy and unwanted as a kitchen or household object on Valentine's Day.  Leave these gifts for wedding registries.  
  10. Only Candy:  Unless the candy is something fabulous, like from Dylan's Candy Bar, then just getting a gift of chocolates is a bit of a downer since it's extremely boring.  I mean who wants to tell their friends, 'He got me Hershey's Chocolate for Valentine's Day.  And that's all".  Nobody.

Breaking Bad: Homemade Rock Candy Recipe

Homemade Rock Candy, you will need: 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring extract blue gel food coloring candy thermometer Instructions: Line sheet pan with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray/spray butter. In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring.  Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color. Once at 285°F, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring, I used raspberry extract and food coloring, I used Neon blue by McCormick, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet; tilt the sheet pan back and fo...

"The Rainbow Comes ad Goes" by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt I started reading this book while in line to meet Anderson Cooper at a book signing in Madison, Connecticut.  This was truly an excellent and interesting read.  Gloria Vanderbilt had such an insane and thrilling life, and Anderson Cooper was perfect at interviewing his mother.  I definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether a fan of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, or just someone interested in pop culture and biographies.  This was a fast read.     "The Starboard Sea" by Amber Dermont I bought this book because it was on sale and it was inexpensive.  However, I ended up loving it, and I'm so happy it was on sale that day in Barnes and Noble, for if it wasn't, I probably would have never read it or picked it up.   This book is about the lives of very wealthy teenagers at boarding school, but the main character, Jason, is spilling the secrets on ...

Menopause Risk Assessment, Saving Ovaries Can Better Women’s Health

  Menopause Risk Assessment, Saving Ovaries Can Better Women’s Health As organs start to fail, other health complexities come with it.   The female reproductive system is no stranger to this phenomenon.   “The primary problem of the gaining population is the serious detriments caused by the aging of various organs and the decline of their functions” (Zhang et al., 2019).   Ovaries are one of these organs that women, and the public, accept will fail on them one day, most likely when they still have decades of life ahead of them.   Organ aging is highly associated with a variety of diseases, and menopause is a cause of this.   “The decline of ovarian function and the arrival of menopause, which then lead to multiple organ dysfunction, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, senile dementia, and so on…the risk index is much higher than that of men of the same age” (Zhang et al., 2019).   Once one organ starts to go (the ovaries) other orga...
