Big Flavors, Small Packages



When I go on one of my weekly excursions, my second question after asking where we are going is always, "What are we going to eat?" Lately, we have gotten into a more routine menu, stuff that is lightweight, easy to prepare, and is fulfilling. One of my favorite things to eat is a Nature's Bakery Fig Bar. I know the first thing that probably comes to mind are those Fig Newtons your parents used to keep in the pantry. I think most of my friends hated them growing up. Well I have always liked the figs, but Fig Newtons were just not a good option for me. They are artificial, enriched, and full of other junk. Gross!! Well the answer to all of this stumbled on me while I was working in the cafe one day a few months ago. I was restocking the candy as usual, and focusing on my "organic corner" as I like to call it - organic gummy worms, and starburst are amazing btw - I saw something called a Fig Bar, it was peach-apricot so I wasn't too sure about it and didn't try it. Well a few days passed, and I couldn't get this mysterious snack out of my head, I went to grocery store and found a blueberry Fig Bar. I cannot even tell you how excited I was to try this thing!! I opened the package, not quite sure what I wouldn't find, to my surprise I saw what looked liked two large sized Fig Newtons. I took a bite, and my eyes grew wide and I smiled with joy as I had found the perfect, and healthy snack.

 Fig Bars are Kosher, Non-GMO, Gluten-free, made with ancient grains, Vegan Certified, Soy free, no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup and SO much more!! They are everything you need for an on-the-go snack. They are packed with flavors such as, Blueberry, Raspberry, Fig, Chocolate Brownie, and Peach-Apricot. I always buy two or three of these and throw them in my pack for a trail snack, or while we are setting up camp. I simply cannot say enough good things about Fig Bars, so I will leave you with their mission statement, and the choice to try them yourselves, or miss out on the best snack ever!

Top 5 Nude Beaches in the United States

Public nudity is something frowned upon in the United States - many of us are thankful for that -, although in Europe most beaches are nude friendly.

San Gregorio, San Mateo County, California  The small town of San Gregorio, home to only 287 people is just south of San Francisco. This is the oldest nude beach in the United States.

LEGENDARY FEMALE PIRATE

Anne Bonny (left) and Mary Read (right) Anne Bonny was born in Kinsale, Ireland around 1697, and was the illegitimate daughter of lawyer William Cormac and his maid Marry Brennan. After William's wife made this news public, his reputation was ruined, so he left Ireland for a fresh start in the New World. He settled with his new family in Charleston, South Carolina where he started a new legal career, and bought a plantation.

There are many stories about Anne's teen years, claiming she murdered a servant girl with a knife, and another about a man she put in the hospital for attempting to sexually assault her. When Anne was sixteen years old, she fell in love with a pirate, James Bonny. Anne's father was against the relationship, but she married James anyways. William disowned Anne, and this is when Anne Bonny's life changed forever. James took his new wife to New Prov...

Meaningful Fact #3 (Secret Federal Agency Killing Wildlife!)

The highly secretive arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture known as Wildlife Services killed more than 3.2 million animals during fiscal year 2015, according to new data released by the agency. The total number of wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, beavers, foxes, eagles and other animals killed largely at the behest of the livestock industry and other agribusinesses represents a half-million-animal increase over the 2.7 million animals the agency killed in 2014. Despite increasing calls for reform a century after the federal wildlife-killing program began in 1915, the latest kill report indicates that the program’s reckless slaughter continues, including 385 gray wolves, 68,905 coyotes (plus an unknown number of pups in 492 destroyed dens), 480 black bears, 284 mountain lions, 731 bobcats, 492 river otters (all but 83 killed “unintentionally”), 3,437 foxes, two bald eagles and 21,559 beavers. The program also killed 20,777 prairie dogs outright, plus an unknown nu...
