Conflict or Confrontation?
What is the difference between arguing and fighting? I believe that arguing is trying to resolve a disagreement whereas fighting can involve physical or emotional abuse. Both have negative connotations, but fighting usually is more malicious and includes intent to harm, rather than resolve a conflict. Arguing can evolve into fighting and fighting can subside into a argument. When I face a conflict, I tend to avoid confrontation and resolve an argument by peaceful discussion.

Bubble Bread
So our family has this great tradition where we make bubble bread every Christmas Eve! It kind of tastes like a cinnamon roll but each piece is the size of a golf ball. So one of us hides a piece of tinfoil inside of one and while we are eating them whoever finds it wins a dollar! It's pretty fun because everyone goes crazy and eats as many as they can. And who doesn't like free money? So there we go. Best tradition ever.

Relaxing Activity
The best remedy to get rid of stress and to relax is buying some good mint cookies and creme ice cream and crawling up on your bed and then turning on some Frank Sinatra. With that rich, deep voice serenading your ears and that ice cream tickling your taste buds...there's not much room for anything but happiness to occupy your thoughts. This is by far the most consoling method to deal with a failed test or a hard day.

How to Steal a Million
Audrey Hepburn. Need I say more? This little gem has slipped under the radar for much too long. Perhaps one of Audrey's most captivating films, she joins Peter O'Toole (dashing, yes I know) in the comedic heist where they have to steal a famous statue from a Paris museum. I could go into details about why it's such a good movie but the reality is Audrey Hepburn is the only reason why it's a classic. If you are a fan of hers, I highly recommend this film.
