Have you always wanted to do something but never acted upon it? I've wanted to have my own business/clothing line since I was in high school. I decided now was the time to make my dreams a reality. The plan was put into action once I helped make a website at work. I was inspired and my creative juices were flowing. It did take me weeks to come up with the perfect name and logo though. I wanted it to be something catchy and true to me. Then one day it came to me; emerald mayflowers. This was the perfect...

By now we are all aware of the events happening around the world and hopefully we are all following the quarantine order so that this all gets better soon.

By living in the same place your whole life you sometimes forget how great your city can be. Take the time to get out and explore the city you live in. My sister and her boyfriend came back to visit after a year in Alaska and she wanted to show him around the town she grew up in. They came to town just in time to experience new places added to St. Louis. Recently a new restaurant, an aquarium, and a ferris wheel opened up to the public. I was fortunate enough to be able to take off work and...
