What NOT to Say to a Celebrity’s Child

Confession time: My father is somewhat famous. Since I was a little girl, I have been asked for his autograph or heard things like, "I can't believe who your dad is!"

Well, you know what? I can't believe who my dad is either. When I think of my father, I don't see some celebrity. Yes, I am proud of my dad's achievements in his profession, but he was also an abusive person in my life. THAT is who I can't believe brought me into this world and half-heartedly raised me.

Cutie Kellan Lutz Promotes Champagne in Action-packed Short Film

Blond, muscled, looks great in a suit, adorable dimples and is a decent actor... yet we haven't seen much of Kellan Lutz other than the Twilight films, playing Hercules and in a romance with Mandy Moore. While we almost had forgotten all about Mr. Lutz, thankfully G.H. Mumm Champagne featured him in their promotional short film to debut their new bubbly bottle. While it isn't a big screen movie, we'll take whatever piece we can get of this cutie pie! Check out the behind-the-scenes footage along with the short film "Mumm's Daring Delivery"!

Oh the 80s… you can try to remake all of the great movies from the past, but you will never recreate the rad cheese that was so easily spread in that decade.

Local Isn’t Always Better — at least not to their employees

One of the biggest problems with bad bosses is they don’t know they’re a bad boss. I was excited to work for a local small business in Nashville. I thought this was my chance to learn “real” coffee and make latte art; to work for a place that didn’t use processed foods and artificial sweeteners. … Continue reading Local Isn’t Always Better — at least not to their employees →

6 Easy Tips To Be Greener

We hear Leonardo DiCaprio talk about it all the time... going green. What does that mean exactly? Drive an electric car? Get solar paneling on your roof? Be a vegan? While yes, all of those things would help our often neglected environment, it might seem overwhelming to most of us. You don't have to change your entire world to make a difference.

It wasn't like we ruined this planet overnight. The decline in our air quality and ecosystems have been an ongoing process over centuries. However, if we don't take action, it's only going to get worse. Instead of trying to reverse the damage by turning your entire life around, small changes can help. Small changes can teach others.

One day, you won't be here, but your children and grandchildren will be. Teach them to take care of their world and all of its organisms. Show you care, even if you don't think it will make a change. It's good for your soul and sets a good example.

Try out these 6 things to help the planet. Happy Earth Day!
