Here Are Nifty Ways To Get Into The Christmas Spirit

If you’re a young adult, the events of the past year and some change may have officially taken their toll on you; leaving you feeling too overwhelmed and too exhausted (and if we’re going to be honest, maybe even a little bit skittish) to get into the holiday, specifically Christmas, spirit. You want to but your heart just isn’t feeling it. You feel like you’re missing out even though you’re sticking to the same holiday routine. You’re still chasing that high of being a kid again on Christmas morning. Every year, you feel the lyrics,“Where are you Christmas? Why can’t I find you?”, that much harder.

8 Reasons Why You Should Try Ancestry DNA

If you recall my last my blog about why you should try out 23 & Me, you will recall why I find these DNA testing companies so fascinating.

And when you you go back through genealogy records, it’s kind of cool to discover that some of your ancestors had major claims in high stakes courts and crowns. My family lore was that we were definitely British (go figure), Scottish, and definitely some German. We also knew that we had a touch of Native American ancestry as well.

12 Books To Read If You Are OBSESSED With Tudor History

As a descendant of Owen Tudor and the Tudor Dynasty of England, family drama kind of runs in the blood. My ancient family’s drama has been so tantalizing juicy that it still captivates and demands attention 500 years after these events have played out. As a lover of all things history, especially in Tudor England, I am blessed with the fact that so many people are also obsessed with Tudor drama. So much so, that this obsession has given us countless books, movies, and tv shows that feed us entertainment about Britain’s most iconic and infamous dysfunctional dynasty.

15 HAUNTINGLY Good Haunts In Savannah, Georgia

As a born and bred South Georgian, who has been to Savannah more times than I can recall, and as a lover of all things paranormal and spooky, there are few places I love more than this city. The hostess city doesn’t just host thousands upon thousands of tourists and locals with good food, beautiful architecture, and southern hospitality; it is also the permanent home to countless souls who are bound to loom over its squares, streets, taverns, inns, and halls for eternity. Why is Savannah claimed to be one of the most haunted cities in the United States? Founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe, the city of Savannah has been no stranger to death, disease, and siege for almost 300 years of its existence.
