Lifestyle and Travel Assignment Take 2

1)      Five Taglines:
·         Each twinkle of a star that surrounds the moon causes me to wonder if other places in the world can see the exact same star. I researched and discovered my passion for Earth and all it has to offer. I learned that the world is a bigger place than meets the eye, and this started a new life for me of seeking similarities in different regions.
·         Trapped in one place for a long time grew a want of travel for me. I wanted to hop on a plane and fly around the world. I wanted to sail across seas finding lands to explore. What I didn’t know I wanted was right where I’ve been my whole life. I learned I could adventure and explore right in my hometown, and how I missed out on a lot believing I needed to travel for exciting journeys.
·         Growing up on the shoreline of a beach began my marine biology interest and research. I figured out that in order to learn more about the ocean I needed to experience more than one place of them. Thus, starting my traveling to all different waters around the world. I have gained knowledge over the years about not just the ocean but rivers, lakes and waterfalls and the history behind them.
·         Having grown up in a poverty state; I gained the knowledge of a dollar. One dollar can do so many things, and people take it for granted. Realizing the worth; I set out finding and putting together a list of activities for families with little to no money. Cheap isn’t always a bad thing, and it makes for the most bonding and memories!
·         Living in California and relocating to Arizona spurred up liking for adventure in finding new and exciting things. I was used to the California beaches, high-end restaurants, preppy girls and skater boys. Arizona showed how different the world can be, and oh boy is it hot! I had to figure out what activities are here which led to mossy lakes, snack-shacks, cave hunting and mountain climbing. I had discovered a whole new world just a state away!
2)      Five Discussions of Topics:
·           New York City is one of the biggest and main attractions not only America but worldwide. There are plenty of places for your delicious cravings, and even more places to sight see. New York City is like walking right into a mad house. There are people on the sidewalk shoving and pushing, yelling for cabs and not looking where they are walking. This is an extremely populated city where you are always dead center of an obnoxious crowd. With New York being such a busy city; things can get complicated.
  You are on vacation and shouldn’t have to waste time figuring out which places to eat at, or which buildings to go and see.
  Let’s make things a lot simpler for you…
  First day in New York City, you should plan a route around Central Park. Central Park is located in the middle of Manhattan and is 843 acres large. This is a great first place to relax before really starting your vacation in the city. If you are hungry grab a bite to eat right in Central Park at a Hot Dog Stand. New York City is known for their amazingly delicious hot dog stands and it’s a quick bite to eat before the exciting tour! Central Park offers bike rentals and cab tours. The tours are so you can get the best experience of New York, and it’s an easy way to learn and prepare yourself for the city.
  After the tour you should have been able to get more of a feel on how to plan the rest of your vacation hassle free.

·           A business venue should be as professional as possible. A venue is a gathering for a special occasion. Usually businesses hold venues for awards and certifications. If there is a huge promotion within the company a business will seek out a venue for all of their employees. This could be difficult for a business because everything is all about location and catering.
  If you work full time you don’t want to spend your spare time researching venues. Luckily, there are venues you can schedule on the internet that you can even view pictures of the inside. A major company requires the venue to be classic and plain but not cheap. It’s easy to rent a venue that looks cheap and have your employees talking about it for the next few weeks. Try staying away from cheap packages. Cheap packages also have cheap tasting food. A company is inviting their employees to a ceremony and dinner. Most of the employees are dreading on spending more time on work and going, and if the food is half as bad as the boredom of the ceremony then the company will be in bad social light.
  A ceremony for a business might not be what everyone wants to do on a Friday night, so it’s best to make it look as presentable as finances allow. No stained old patterned carpets, no wooden chairs, and make sure the venue has a microphone!

·           Shopping can be a huge pain; especially the crowded shops, long lines, and rude people always shoving you out of their way. Let’s not forget to mention the horrible customer service that is provided half of the time. Shopping has been made a hassle when in all reality it should be a girl’s best friend! 
  Shopping at the supermarket or mall is agonizing. You can never find what you want at the market, and malls are now teenager’s hangout spot. Don’t forget the mile away parking spots because apparently the whole city decided to tag along and go where you did.
  Shopping has now been made quick and easy! The internet provided plenty of websites for your favorite stores to shop at. You don’t even have to get dressed to go shopping anymore! Websites for supermarkets allow you to purchase all of your family’s needs. Do you need fruits for the kids’ big game next week? Check! What about baby food and diapers? Check and check! Websites allow you to add any item and any item amount to your online shopping cart. All it takes is a click of a button and a credit card! What about that dress you needed for your friend’s wedding? Don’t fret! There are websites for your favorite clothing stores. You pick an old time favorite store and browse through the type of clothing you need, and then add it to your cart just like the supermarket website!
  There’s no more reason to dread shopping. Whether it’s for food or for new pants; shopping has been made exciting again!

·           Being a first time car buyer can be tricky. Car dealerships will try taking advantage of you, so it’s best to freshen up on your knowledge of buying a vehicle.
  There are a few tips for buying your first vehicle. The first one consists of the personification of the car. This means – does it symbolize you and your character? The best thing about a vehicle is falling in love with it, and you don’t want to waste your money on a car your grandma would buy. Secondly, you need to buy a vehicle that matches your needs. This could consist of your job field. If you are in construction you will probably want a truck. You can also judge what type of vehicle you will need based off of your life desires. If you tend to go off-roading with friends and cave hunt or mountain climb then a good 4x4 will do you justice. Lastly, look into the quality of the vehicle. It needs to last you a long time, and take you places you want to go. Try getting a vehicle that is low on gas mileages. You don’t want to dread taking a trip in your brand new car because of the price it takes to fill your gas! While you are on the lot, inspect the vehicle from front to back. Check for dents and see if it might have been in a wreck or tampered with.
  Get inside the car, and go for a test drive to see if it’s a nice and smooth drive. Make sure the A/C blows icicles for those hot summer days or you’ll be hating life with your new vehicle.    

·           Being a new home owner can be exciting and scary at the same time. There are tons of things you need to accomplish before settling into your new home.
  First things first, you need to make sure you have a home warranty. Sort a home warranty out with your realtor or lender. You also want to buy any needed appliances for you home that you don’t already own. A lot of houses don’t come already stocked with appliances. After you get your appliances taken care of; you need to schedule a date for you utilities to be turned on. This includes electricity, gas, and water. Secondly, I would schedule to install an alarm system for your new home. It’s a new neighborhood, and you don’t want to risk it and take chances – especially with children. Next thing I would make sure you handle is double-checking for missing items you need for your home. This can be checked again through a walk through that can be set up with a realtor or lender. The usual items missing that you will have to replace is blinds, switch and outlet covers, doorknobs, and much more.
  Once you have all that set and done; hire a moving company or rent a truck to move your furniture and items. You will want to move everything over to the new home after you’ve done an extensive cleaning of the house if needed. After you get all moved go shopping! Stock your house with groceries and settle into your new found home.


3)      Five Articles
It’s Not a Diet – It’s a Lifestyle!
  Transforming your diet for a better and healthier life isn’t easy. You constantly get the urge to eat unhealthy by all the advertisements. Seeing a sloppy, juicy burger makes you want to throw your plain cucumber salad right in the garbage can! Honestly, it’s all about mind over matter. You can do it and you can overcome canceling out all of your favorite foods. After time goes on you will realize how much better of a lifestyle you are living by eating healthy, and that cheeseburger will no longer be a tease!
  By eating healthy you will see a lot of differences from when you ate unhealthy foods. First and for most; you will gain an extreme amount of energy! Foods that are fatty along with a ton of calories will make you sluggish causing less motivation for things in life. While fruits, vegetables, fish, and chicken all remain healthy and give you that get-up-and-go feeling. Secondly, dieting is not only a word for getting a beach-bod, but also a word that means your body is out of harm’s way. Foods that contain trans-fat cause health problems like having issues with cholesterol, and having bad cholesterol can cause heart disease.
  Donuts are delicious, but not worth the risk. A big consumption of sugars in a small time will cause the insulin in your body to not bring your rate of blood sugar down diagnosing you with diabetes. Diabetes can also cause heart disease.  
  Eating healthy should be in everyone’s lifestyle. Eating better will cause you to live longer, so why not give a salad a try!
A Religious Lifestyle is a Faithful Lifestyle
  A religious life is one concentrated on God and only God himself. A religious life remains faithful that everything happens for a reason because if it wasn’t for a reason then God wouldn’t have made it happen. There are different religions that practice their faith differently. Overall, no matter what religion, God is in everyone’s life. God is who guides you down the right path, even if for the moment you believe it is bad. A religious lifestyle will test your will because God is trying to strengthen you during hardship and future hardships to come. The Lord will always be by your side no matter what you do, think or believe – he is always there when you need to call upon him.
  Having a religious lifestyle is like any normal lifestyle; just influenced by God. You cook the same, you play sports the same, and you do your job the same. The only difference is faith. God gives the person something to believe in and someone to turn to when in need.
  The differences in religions are the spiritual leaders. Christianity has Jesus what most Americans believe in, and Buddhist praises the one and only Buddha. Christianity has a lot of differences from other religions. Christianity is not told when to eat or drink, when to sleep, etc. Christianity still lives life as normal as any other human being.
  Religious lifestyles contain a sacred holy ground that all believers reside at. For some religions there is a temple, but here in America the most used place of worship is Church. Church gives a special place for prayers to be answered and gain more knowledge about the Lord.
The Fun and Excitement of a Social Life
  Having a social lifestyle means you are an extremely outgoing person. Being outgoing is not at all a bad thing as long as you uphold your responsibilities. A person, who is social, has a lot of friends and is half of the time single. This aims for the party to continue every weekend with a lot of action at the club. Social lifestyles are amusing and full of entertainment. There are plenty of activities that are entertaining and fit the dramatic social lifestyle.
  A social life will always need a social network site. There are sites on the internet that allows you to chat and meet up with friends or people in your area. These sites are great for making friends and continuing the communication between them. Another big must in a social lifestyle is having a phone! Normally a cell-phone is more ideal, and is an easy way to chat with friends wherever you may be.
  There are a lot of activities for that exciting social life, but one of the most common activities is going to the club or bar. A nightclub allows you to let loose and have a good time with the people you love or just strangers that seem appealing! A nightclub is usually an event that takes place for dancing, drinking, and ending the night with a naughty one-night-stand. Clubs are usually for the more outgoing people who are single and ready to mingle.
  If a club isn’t your scene, then you can take a step back from the overwhelming event and stick with a corner bar. A bar allows you to still go out for the night, maybe even find a nice guy, and lets you have the same amount of fun a club would. The difference is the music and dancing. A bar might not have a dance floor, but it does have a pool table, darts, and sometimes arcade games.
  More activities for a social lifestyle would be taking your dog for walks in the park while meeting up with an old friend, or even going to the local theater for some good popcorn and fun!
The Kind of Lifestyle for Parents
  Being a parent and living this lifestyle is most rewarding thing in life. You nurture another human being and provide them with all the information you can. Giving information, morals, and value is a seed that you plant within the child. As the child gets older you water the seed and then as they become an adult you see the seed blossom into a successful and magical life. Living a parenting lifestyle is worth it but also extremely stressful at the same time.
  Living a life as a parent limits your ability to do certain things and go certain places. In the beginning of a parenting life is full of sleepless nights and a social life goes right out the window! As your child gets older it will be a lot easier to participate in fun activities; activities with your child of course. You can host block parties which contains bouncy houses and water balloons for the kids while the adults get to mingle and drink wine coolers.
  A parenting lifestyle is quite hectic. You have to make sure you children wake up in time for school, and take them to sporting activities. You might have to volunteer for a field trip, and make sure your child gets the studies done that are needed. When your child is sick, then you are sick too! A lifestyle as a parent revolves all around the child but remember to possibly take some time for yourself. While your kid is tucked in bed and asleep; try picking up a book, take a warm bubble bath or watch your favorite show or chick flick. Be sure to pamper yourself when you can! Remember, it might be a hassle doing things, but there are a lot of possibilities of activities for parents.
Playfulness and Healthiness of a Sporty Lifestyle
  A lifestyle based on sports is a healthy lifestyle. Sporty lifestyles are healthy based on exercises taking place in each activity. Being a part of this kind of lifestyle isn’t only healthy but also extremely fun!
  Having a lifestyle like this contains of a lot of physical and social activities. There is plenty of excitement undergoing sports. There are also plenty of sports you can partake in. A few of the top sports is football, basketball, and soccer. You are able to be on a team with these sports, but it takes a lot of skill! These sports contain a lot of running which is the best exercise you can give your body. Other cool sporting activities can be baseball, tennis, golfing, swimming, and even fishing!
  People who are in this lifestyle usually wear sporting outfits for most use of flexibility. Now, you don’t have to be playing a sport to live this lifestyle. There are simple and free ways to accomplish the sporty lifestyle. One way can be taking your dog for a job at a near park, and then playing catch with your pet. Also, if you have children, playing with Frisbees and just throwing a baseball around is considered a sporty life.

  All a sporty life pertains is exercise. You are involved in this lifestyle if you are living healthy by being active and especially having fun! Life is all about the excitement and it doesn’t hurt to be a little playful every once in a while.
