Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Truffle Blossom Cookies
A 2020 PSA: If you can’t find Hershey’s Truffle Kisses, don’t drive yourself crazy searching. This year’s limited-edition Valentine’s Day Hershey’s flavor is a dark chocolate molten lava cake flavor. Which is basically the same thing (and ridiculously delicious on their own). I’ve always been a fan of peanut butter blossoms — you know, those…

How to Know Your Worth (and When to Raise Prices)
One of the most common problems I’ve heard entrepreneurs talk about is how achingly hard to put a price on what you do. You don’t want to set the prices too high, scaring people away (and thus giving yourself a not-good-enough complex that’s so, so untrue), and you don’t want to skew too low, making…

All too often I fall into that trap of, ‘If I do X, Y and Z, then this will happen!” and I’m bummed when things don’t work out according to plan. -Candace Tuesday Takeaway: Packing Light by Allison Vesterfelt…

One Awesome Thing You Can Do for Your Body (and Brain) Today
Deep down, we all have a “should” list. It’s the 392-plus things we tell ourselves we should start doing, often once a day: floss more, read more, keep a journal, get eight hours’ sleep, start an Instagram photo-a-day challenge. The list seems to continually keep growing, and bit by bit, your day is gobbled up,…

10 Shows on Netflix Worth the Time Commitment
Sometimes, you just crave a little veg-out time, where you can get lost in a great show…and then obsessively talk about it to every friend, relative or unsuspecting-person-walking-his-dog you meet.

Why Figuring Out Your Passion Doesn’t Have to Be Daunting
Passion ebbs and flows. What you feel red-hot about one afternoon can feel stale, boring and unoriginal a week later, and that’s not a sign that it’s not for you. That’s just the natural pendulum swing of feeling passionate about something; like being balled-fists angry or giggly-giddy, those extreme feelings can be fleeting, so maybe…

What My Aunt Taught Me About Saying Goodbye
My Aunt Teresa and I have always struggled with goodbyes. Our eyes water, our voice gets shaky, we purse our lips to hold it all together — even if we’re just saying goodbye to someone for a few weeks. Or a few days. Even half a weekend can do it. But where I always look away,…

An Inside Look at Epiphany in Tarpon Springs, FL
Since we posted our Tarpon Springs tour and Epiphany preview, we thought we’d share the highlights for anyone who couldn’t make it. Growing up in Tarpon, I never realized how unique the Greek Orthodox Epiphany celebration was — or how relatively unfamiliar most people were with it — but that became crystal clear when a…
