My mom's family lives all over Maine, so growing up I spent most summers visiting there. If you haven't been, Maine is such a beautiful place with a lot of great places to visit and delicious food to eat. Here's a list of some of the wonderful sights, attractions, and food Maine has to offer!

1. Portland Head Lighthouse

The Portland Head Lighthouse is one of many lighthouses scattered all around Maine. Visiting gives you a view you can't beat and an opportunity for some beautiful pictures!

2. Old Orchard Beach

Maine has so many miles of coastline, so visiting any beach is a must. Old Orchard Beach is a beautiful location that many tourists come to for a relaxing beach day.

3. Amato's Sandwiches

If you have never had an Italian sandwich, you are missing out. If you've never had an Italian sandwich from Amato's, you haven't lived. Hands down, Amato's has the BEST Italians out there. This is definitely one of the things I most look forward to when I visit.

4. Downtown Freeport

Downtown Freeport is so much fun. I mean, it has LL Bean, what else do you need? There are great food places, lots of shopping places, and the giant Bean Boot to take a picture with. Plus, they even have Food Truck Fridays!

5. Rococo Ice Cream

If you're looking for an ice cream place with different flavors than your usual chocolate and vanilla, Rococo is a great place to start! They have a lot of really interesting flavors, like Goat Cheese Blackberry, Strawberry Habanero, and Sweet Avocado Cayenne. Definitely something to try!

6. The Causeway in Naples

The Causeway on Sebago Lake is a quaint little boardwalk, perfect for walking and getting some fresh air. The Songo River Queen takes passengers around the lake, or kayaks and other water toys are available to rent for the day. It's a beautiful spot to visit!

7. Lobster

Maine is best known for their lobster, so it had to make the list. If you can get it fresh, don't miss the opportunity! Maine lobster is a 'must have' for seafood lovers.

8. Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor is farther up along the Maine coastline, but it is a beautiful place. The mountains and the water make a lovely scene to visit. I can almost feel the relaxation...

9. Moose

If you're lucky, you just might get to see a moose! They don't come out often, but they are really cool to see!

10. Fryeburg Fair

The Fryeburg Fair is the largest and most popular agricultural fair in Maine. Not only does it have animal shows, horse races, and rides, but it has DELICIOUS fair food. This is definitely something fun to check out if you're looking for a fair!

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
