THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION & A POLITICAL THOUGHT: BIPARTISANSHIP
Whatever your political leanings may be, for our country to progress and prosper, we must work together. It is imperative that our generation is involved with the political progress of the United States {key word: United}. Learn. Discuss. Collaborate. A nation divided is only half as strong as it could be.

CURRENT OBSESSION – CHAD WYS
It all started with Pinterest {a huge obsession of mine}… I was perusing a variety of images and serendipitously stumbled across this:
Just like that, I was in love. I wanted that piece of art desperately. Then I began to research the artist and found that I was completely enthralled by his modern take on classic pieces. I wish my living room had a gallery wall of only his work; that would be quite the conversation starter. Welcome to your newest artistic obsession.

RECIPE TO TRY – OREO TRUFFLE BROWNIES
I have two things to thank for this: 1. My {overwhelmingly popular} post on Slutty Brownies… which led me to 2. Searching other delectable brownie recipes on Pinterest and stumbling upon this gem from Raising 4 Princesses: The Oreo Truffle Brownie. This brownie recipe knocked my socks off. De-lish!!!It’s this simple:
1. Make brownies {go ahead and use a box mix. You won’t be able to tell}. Put them in the fridge to cool.
2. Put two sleeves of Oreos in a ziplock bag and smash them up.
3. Mix the smashed up Oreos with 8oz of softened cream cheese.
4. Spread the mixture on the cooled brownies.
5. Melt 1/2 bag of semisweet chocolate chips on the stove and spread on top.
6. Refrigerate and try not to eat the whole thing all at once!
