Hello, my fellow Clevelanders! The snow has landed and we know it won't be leaving soon. But I want to challenge you to not let the snow kill your spirit and enjoy the many amazing parts of Cleveland in the winter. So put on NSYNC's "Home For Christmas" and read along, creating your own list of ways to take in Christmas this year in Cleveland.

Catch a Show at Playhouse Square

One of my favorite traditions that many elementary schools started was enjoying a Christmas performance at Playhouse! Through the next three weeks, there are multiple shows to catch. From "A Christmas Story" to "A Christmas Carol," you can come enjoy the amazing talent right downtown.

Send Out Christmas Cards

I know this is not really something that Millennials like to do you know the whole purchase stamps, hand write a card or put things in the mail. We prefer to shop online and receive! But imagine how happy your grandma is going to be when she gets your card ?! So just spend an evening on Pinterest researching some ideas for addressing. I like to use tutorials for fonts and go to town.

But what can you do when it's TOO BAD to go outside?

Put On Some Hallmark Christmas Movie Invite Friends and Family Over Bake Cookies

As much as I love to go out and explore the city, there is something ultimately refreshing by having a cozy night in. So just invite some friends over, preheat the oven and enjoy the company of the people who are already in your life that make it so great. This is sure to keep your from remembering the snow is coming down like crazy.

Have A Girls Night In and Pamper Yourself

Due to the wonderful cold, our skin is going to so much drier. This is the perfect time to treat your skin with additional attention to your skin. Why not have each person bring one item to make an at home sugar scrub and follow that with a rich lotion. You could make extra to take home in small mason jars to use all season long.

I hope that you found an idea that you will enjoy with your loved ones this holiday season. Don't let the snow freeze your heart. Enjoy some company from your friends and the wonderful baked good of the season.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
