twists. Put these all together, mix and match them in a bowl, and then crush the ice cubes by hand then into a blender. As complicated and misconstrued as recipes for uber-healthy organic foods may be, as suggested by this “Apricot-Mango Madness” smoothie, in a similar way, academia and the media have presented an even more complex philosophy of healthy eating across the country. For the past couple of decades, American society has strived to achieve a more healthy and fit lifestyle that…

We 've all heard the reviews on the benefits of drinking coffee. Perhaps you are well deserving of the "Coffee guzzler of the year" award. But, what does all of this mean? What is coffee benefiting exactly other than our personal gratification? Is it fine and dandy to keep on consuming our ample amounts per day or do we need to practice that word moderation? Like the rest of the coffee addicts in America, I consume my fair share per day. Not nearly as much lately but I would be lying if I said…

6:00 am Time to wake up. Tori would absolutely hate waking up this early, though she would be satisfied and tamed once she got her morning cup and the good view of the sunrise. I laid there and stared at the ceiling. I didn 't really feel like waking up. I didn 't feel like doing anything. I don 't think I would be able too. But for Tori 's sake, I will. I sat and turned to the edge with my feet dangling off the bed. Once again, I stared at the ground. My eyebrows furrowed at every thought…

Time and time again, I sat in a hospital where my skin was pierced to extract this red fluid called blood. This red fluid was then taken to a lab for further tests, which usually made me frustrated since there was never any good news. For me, though it was much more than an emotion that had just appeared from the shadows of the abyss, but a revelation. Coming from a life of health conditions taught me to only see the negative aspect, but over time I began to see the positive aspect as well which…

I saw it in the music shop window and I knew that it would be mine and only mine. I bought it and took it home. Billings would love it. My god. It was so beautiful, so sleek, so smooth. Its body was a glimmering gold and I could feel the keys push down gracefully with a satisfying plop! It was the most majestic thing I had ever seen and… Oh crap. I dropped it. Down it came with a crash. I realized that I wasn’t wearing a neck-strap. As I picked my 2,000 dollar alto saxophone, I saw that it had a…

In order to understand the possibilities and utility of Soylent it is essential to understand exactly what Soylent is. Soylent is a “smoothie like” liquid that contains the thirty-five essential nutrients necessary for survival (Widdicombe). At first glance the idea seems odd and unappealing, especially due to the fact that many of us have such easy access to food but upon stopping and…

As I try to pinpoint a single day or moment in my life that best exemplifies the person I am today, memories flood my mind and I think about all the opportunities that led me here to Brigham Young University. I could easily write about an epic backpacking trip or meeting President Obama, but there is a greater moment, not even a year ago when I saw myself from a whole new perspective. I always heard about girls who competed in Distinguished Young Women, former junior miss, in my town. They…

(Johnson, Scholes 1998) o SWOT essential in a business plan, helps find the factors that will be critical to a business’ success (Deakins, Freel 2006) o An opportunity can also be a threat, for example the raise of the smoothie market in the UK for a fruit juice company can be seen as a threat because of a new substitution product or as an opportunity to diversify (Porter1980,1985) o We can also debate that evaluating the demand in strategic planning can be controverted…

curiosity faded away when I found out it was an acquaintance of mine, Calvin. He was holding a bright red concoction in one hand and his phone in the other. I opened the door. “Hey, what are you doing here?” He casually spoke, “I’m here to drop this smoothie off for Veronica.” as he strolled into the…
