When I was younger I always enjoyed mazes. I would even draw mazes just to have others figure it out! As I was browsing around today I found this awesome article about walk-through mazes. My favorite, which I chose to feature to the left, is the worlds largest maze, spanning across 10 acres!

There are so many different types of walk through mazes, many of which I never knew existed, see for yourself! http://tinyurl.com/7ohnwcj

Avocados are such a magical fruit! I love them on almost anything, but it’s hard to find other ways to use avocados other than for your sandwiches or guacamole!

Try these out next time your in the mood for some tasty avocados…

• Avocado Boats- Just as you’d imagined! Slice an avocado in half, remove the pit and you have the perfect place to stuff fresh tomatoes with a little hot sauce!
• Avocado & Corn Mini Tostadas- Smash some avocado, lime juice, sour cream & cilantro into a smooth cream. Mix beans, corn, salsa and hot sauce and place onto a single round chip, top with avocado cream! Poof! Perfect mini tostada
• Smoothie- You would have never thought to add this into a smoothie I bet! It actually makes it much creamier and smoother! Try it!
• Stuffed Potato Skins- Make some avocado cream, cut some potatoes in half, top it with cheese, broccoli and bacon and roast in the oven. When finished add the avocado cream and you have yourself a delicious snack!
• Mayo Replacement- Try to replace avocado in recipes that call for mayo. I tend to make tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo to cut out the calories and unnecessary fats. Its delicious!

I was surprised at some of the food on this list! These items have each been given a bad reputation for being unhealthy, when in fact it turns out to be the exact opposite!

Check it out!

1. Canned Veggies – Due to the high sodium in most canned goods, people tend to steer away. While nothing compares to fresh vegetables, low sodium varieties of canned goods do exist! Canned food is cheaper, and also lasts much longer!
2. Red Meat- Only certain kinds of red meat should be avoided, such as those with high fat content. However, extra lean sirloin is low in fat and high in vitamins, iron and protein!
3. Potatoes- While high in carbs, it is also high in many important vitamins and nutrients. Try not to eat potatoes fried, but rather baked!
4.  Avocados- Although the fat content is high, this is a different kind of fat- monounsaturated fat which is essential for your body!
5. Dried Fruit- although many are processed with high amounts of sugar, there are brands that offer their dried fruit free of added sugars. When eating dried fruit, drink with a glass of water and you will be eating more than your recommended serving!
6. Pizza- When properly prepared pizza can be full of benefits! Use whole-wheat crust, and load it up with veggies and organic tomato sauce, then top it off with slices of avocado! Yum!
7. Bananas- Known for being fattening and high in sugar, which is completely wrong! Bananas have 0 grams of fat, are 105 calories and relatively low in sugar!
8. Eggs- More so Egg yolks are known for causing high cholesterol, however according to Harvard, researchers found an egg a day did much more good than harm for your body!
9. Shrimp- Another notably high cholesterol food, but an also very rich in protein food as well! Eaten grilled, or sautéed can be a great choice in eating healthy and lowering fat intake.
10. Iceberg Lettuce- Known for it’s “lack” of nutrients, and being a pointless food. In fact, due to its high water content, iceberg lettuce keeps you feeling full for longer and is extremely low in calories!

I knew the health benefits for a few items above, but not all! Looks like I will be eating more pizza! ☺

 It truly doesn’t feel like 10 years have passed since 2002, but so much has changed since then!

I found the picture in this blog randomly, and felt like I needed to share it with you all, as it is extremely and ironically true!

With the new technology we’re loving today, how do you suppose we’ll feel towards it in ten years?

If you’re constantly coming up with new ideas on ways to increase your Facebook engagement, interaction and most of all fans, well welcome to the club!

A new tactic initiated by Stüssy, a sports wear retailer, is seeming to work out pretty “seamlessly!” The model in their campaign is wearing all of the clothing from their Spring/Summer 2012 line, and when their likes reach certain levels she will remove one piece of clothing. Their campaign promises “ The more likes, the more clothes come off.”

Not only are they promoting the new season of clothes, their also increasing likes and engagement at the same time! Way to go Stüssy for thinking outside the box!
