What do you do with quirky and funny?… Run with it!
OFf & RUNNING is a new comedy web series, created by Cheyann Reagan from Whittier, Ca., (Los Angeles), and is about a young woman in search of her forever job. After seeing the passion that Cheyann has put into this web series we believe she has found her forever job as a filmmaker. Were your parents involved or influential for you in the arts? They were never self claimed artists, although my mom paints/draws. They were just always supportive of me trying different avenues of the arts through school programs. When was the first moment you knew you wanted to make films ...
Blackberry & Mate Morning Boost
Summer weather is fast approaching and with it fresh fruits and berries! This is my favorite time of the year, not only because of the warm weather but also for all the delicious fruits that come into season. My favorites are chilled nectarines and watermelon. In the coming months I'll find a few recipes with these fruits, but today I wanted to be experimental and try something new with berries. Blackberries (berries in general) are amazingly beneficial for your health. Ten Benefits of Blackberries: 1. Blackberries are one of the top ten foods containing antioxidants 2.

Green Smoothies – Going Green is Good for the Body too!
How many times have you heard? “You shouldn’t eat that, it’s bad for you”, but you eat it anyway! It’s ok we all indulge, and probably more than we should. We often tell ourselves that as long as we don’t eat too many bad foods we’re eating well. Of course, we all know we should eat more vegetables and stay away from sugar, salt, fried foods, fast food, and delicious mouth-watering desserts, which seems to be the only things we really want to eat! For the most of my life I have somewhat held on to this notion that if ...
Hispanic or Latino?
Yes, it’s yet another Coke or Pepsi, or Hispanic or Latino taste test challenge. After a couple of weeks of being laid up with a cold I had nothing better to do than read a couple of articles on a subject that seems to be as unfulfilling as a diet soda. I read an article in the CNN web site titled, “State of Hispanic America”, and a LA Times' article titled, “Latino or Hispanic? For many Americans, neither feels quite right”. After reading both articles, a thought lingered in my mind on how personally irrelevant the debate has become for me ...

Pumpkin Warms the Body, Soothes the Mind
A pumpkin is a gourd-like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae. The family of who or what? Lets just agree that we know the pumpkin as the orange round thing we carve into a scary face on Halloween and of course, we know pumpkin pie! What we didn't know is that pumpkin may be considered both a fruit and vegetable and is loaded with important antioxidants such as leutin, both alpha and beta carotene, which generates vitamin A, C and E. There have also been studies that suggest that pumpkin contains compounds that may help with prevention and reduction ...
