Trenton Area Soup Kitchen: http://www.trentonsoupkitchen.org 


My name is Valarie Embrey and i'm working with a women's affinity group to collect winter accessories and coats to donate to local soup kitchens in Trenton, Nj. We have also donated to Women's Space, HomeFront, and other organizations. I'm taking an additional effort to collect winter accessories locally in my neighborhood to boost the amount of items donated. 

I would encourage you to donate directly to soup kitchens in your neighborhood as many people are in need of coats scarves and accessories to prepare for the approaching winter. I really appreciate any donation you are able to provide and ALL proceeds will go towards the purchase of coats, scarves, gloves, hats, socks, and blankets. No amount is too big or small. Thank you for your help!

Materials : Two red poster boards Tape ruler personal hat as a size reference ruler bobby pins apple red inside spray paint - "I took the hat out doors to spray it." Once the energy dome is complete grab a guitar (I used my Wii guitar hero controller), or any other instrument from the Whip It video. To secure the dome to your head you may need to affix a hair pin, wig clips, or cut a whole in the bottom to balance it.  *(caution: test all scenarios (clips/paint/glue) before wearing the dome to ensure comfort and no reactions)  This...

Go outside and enjoy nature

Go ou tsi de The Cape of Good Hope Often my life is structured around schedules, hours of operation, academic goals, appointments and commuting. It is normal to plan your week around a schedule of activities that fill certain time slots each day. Even when free time sneaks into my schedule I wonder what new hobby or venue to pursue in hopes of making the best of my spare time. Boschendal - The Cellar Door South Africa Tropic of Capricorn Kruger National Park This week I realized one of the best things to do with spare time is to just go outside. Our schedules are filled with time constraints due to work requirements, academics, and other life activities. However, when spare time arises I often forget nature is only a step away. One of the most refreshing ways to start a day is to sit outside and read (weather permitting). There have been multiple subjects I have wanted to read about, but often my motivation to develop a reading schedule “indoors” has...
