Dear Person Reading This Blog,

Let me tell you about acting…here it goes:

1) I love it!

2) Acting has helped in my everyday life, so much, that I recommend everyone takes an improv class, voice over class or literally any type of acting workshop. (;

3) It has strengthened my ability to think on my feet, feel confident in those decisions, study (yeah, yeah, college helped with that too) and most importantly, actively listen!

If I’m not present in the moment during improv, I’ll miss a que or adding to the scene will be difficult. Or! In a prepared scene, if I’m not listening and responding to my scene partner in that moment, the authenticity of that moment is missing and people watching our scene can tell.

4) My favorite part about acting is getting a scene and using my own experiences, beliefs and personal insight to bring a character to life. If I’m bold, make powerful and genuine decisions for my character then it’s fun to act and hopefully interesting to watch.  

5) Currently working on 2 scenes. Whoohoo! I’m sure you’ll hear me talk about it… or even run lines with me!

I bid you well on this lovely Thursday,

Your dearest Megz

Thankfully he left us a plethora of amazing music to forever remember him.

We all know that plants provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe but did you also know that they purify the air? In 1989 NASA collected common house plants and placed them in chambers then pumped in harmful chemicals. After 24hrs they tested the air quality in each chamber and discovered that some plants were able to remove up to 90% of the harmful chemicals. Plants purify the air by taking in harmful gases out of the atmosphere and transporting them into their roots and cells. From there some of the chemicals are broken down by the fungi in the soil and some are stored in the plant.

Here is the list of the best houseplants (in no specific order):

• Boston Fern
• Peace Lilly
• Gerbera Daisy
• Chinese Evergreen
• Snake Plant
