Looking for a refreshing summer smoothie that doesn’t involve breaking the bank with Smoothie King or a local smoothie shop? I’ve got you covered with a collection of 10 smoothies found across the interweb… otherwise known as the internet, of course! Bonus: Let me introduce you to my favorite quick smoothie, which is simple and I have been making for years.

Covid-19 and Politics: The Great Divide
Covid-19 has been around for a long time at this point with no intentions of disappearing any time soon. It has caused many arguments between people. Political issues have been around indefinitely with no intentions of disappearing any time soon. It has also caused many arguments between people. Not to mention the media has played a huge part on both of those topics. Is the media good or bad? Note: Everything is strictly opinionated.

Those with a small fan base haven’t reached “celebrity status” but have a lot of loyal followers. My Instagram account has close to 400 people following with some…

The dirt is dumped on the ground behind multiple backyards, creating a mountain of mud that…
