What is Sonder? Image source      My first time hearing the word Sonder was when one of my closest friends had introduced me to a popular RNB artist that goes by the name Brent Faiyaz. An artist who was born in Maryland and focused on a more melodic tone in his music with meaningful rhymes and phrases throughout his lyrics. Brent was influenced by the likes of Lauryn Hill, Lil Wayne and even Madonna. Shortly after getting into his music I had found a separate band that Brent played in that goes by the Name Sonder.

But when I asked around and talked to different friends who were also graduating It caused me to do my own research, What I found out was that careers choices today are drastically ...

Image Source     My entire life I've lived in hot desert like environments, so sweating and being dehydrated is nothing new to me, and often times when I would walk home from school I would feel dehydrated as I sweat in the sun. But as I grew older and developed a love for physical health and overall well being I began to understand the importance of staying hydrated. Growing up I drank a variety of beverages from Capri-sun to different sodas and juices, but when I began to understand the effects different sugars and carbohydrates hold on your face I began to stray away from any drink that wasn't water. The hardest beverage to stray away from for me was Dark sodas such as Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper or any drink with large amounts of refined sugars and high fructose corn syrup.
