What is the appeal of being an avid coffee drinker? I believe I have broken it down to three reasons. The first one obviously is the great taste of coffee. The second reason is the social factor that drinking coffee provides, and the third reason is that coffee allows us a time to refocus our lives. I know, I can sense that most readers are rolling their eyes, but hear me out.
If you drink coffee once a week, or maybe two to three times a week, or maybe you're like me and you drink coffee every day, by the way that would make you a coffee addict, then I'm sure we would all agree on this one statement. "We enjoy the taste of coffee." We appreciate a great cup of rich, aromatic, eye opening coffee. Humans have been enjoying the great taste of coffee for a thousand years so I believe this statement to be 100% accurate. If you disagree then you are probably not an avid coffee drinker.
By nature, human beings are social creatures and coffee shops allow us to fulfill this need. Drinking coffee allows us to sit with friends and family and discuss various topics of our lives. Where else can you go and spend just a couple of bucks, for your coffee of choice and spend a good hour or so talking with good friends. Add a couple of comfortable chairs and pipe in some good music and you're set.
Drinking coffee also gives us a time to take a few moments to refocus our lives. If you are drinking a cup of coffee alone it gives us a few minutes of relaxation from this fast paced world. This is a perfect time when we can reflect on our past, present, and future. It might even be a time when we decide to make life changing decisions, such as a career change, marriage, or having children.
I know there are many other reasons why people enjoy drinking coffee but these three seem to be the most important reasons. You may agree or disagree with these reasons but again I believe one reason to be true. We enjoy the taste of quality coffee.
What's red and bad for your teeth?
A brick.
According to Men's Health magazine, research concludes that pizza can be good for you. It's important to point out, however, that we're talking about real pizza - not the kind you get from Pizza Hut, Dominoes or the frozen food section of your supermarket. By real, I mean pizza made with real crust, real tomato sauce and pure olive oil.
According to Men's Health, scientists writing in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating pizza can reduce your risk of a heart attack. In a 4-year study of nearly 1,000 Italians, those who ate pizza at least once a week were 30 percent less likely to experience a heart attack than the folks who didn't partake of the pie.

Become Familiar With Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a simple way to change your daily life. Through the use of essential oils, it is possible to get access to wonderful therapeutic results. Aromatherapy has been a popular holistic health topic for thousands of years, and many people will tell you that the promised benefits are completely accurate. For example, consider placing a few drops of Rosemary oil on a cotton ball and dabbing it on your forehead during a headache. Or, consider placing a drop of lavender oil on the light bulbs in your bedroom for enhanced relaxation during sleep. Consult a pharmacist, holistic specialist or a book on essential oils to determine if one or more could help you to improve your well-being.
Dealing With Your Finances As A Young Adult
You have to determine if you're ready for a credit card. Having a credit card and treating it responsibly is mandatory if you want to build your credit in the right direction. As a matter of fact, you should have two of them. Ideally, you should pay them off at the end of each month before the grace period ends. If you do hold a balance on your credit cards, make sure you don't spend more than 30 percent of your credit limit.
You must absolutely set a precedent of paying your bills on time, all the time. If you don't, you're going to find yourself in a mess. You will have bills hitting collection agencies, complicating your life and dramatically increasing your payments and interest. You want to be in control of your bills, and this has to do with sticking with your budget consistently.

Views Are Spectacular Off The Beaten Path
Why is it so difficult to get ahead?
1. We unnecessarily spend money on the "latest and greatest," things we don't need.
2. Debt - once we're in the red, and spend based on habit and emotion, it can be very difficult to break patterns, discipline ourselves and get out of debt.
3. Taxes take up to 50 percent of our salary.

Energy Healing 101: Pranic, Tantric, And Reiki
Are All Energy Healings The Same?
Chakra or energy center is a term used in Pranic healing, an ancient Hindu system of energy healing. "Prana" means life energy. "Aura" is another terminology traced to Pranic healing. Aura is a non-physical body that consists of energy, which exists along with our physical body. The aura that covers our body is said to have seven layers pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual as manifested by energy. Studying the color and thickness of auras give ideas on the state of health of individuals. Six colors are associated with aura and interpreted into six personalities. These colors are all present in an individual but one or two are more pronounced.
