9 Reasons You'd Be Accused of Witchcraft in the 17th Century
If my ancestors had settled in a predominantly Christian/Puritan area in the late 16th century — and in the Western side of the world — I'd probably never have been born. Because they were mostly healers (and women), they'd likely have been accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake after correctly diagnosing that the neighbor's kid went insane because of a rabies-infected dog; or the neighbor's milk spoiled because they totally forgot they had milk in the first place.

We're a week in to the New Year - 'New Year, New Me' posts aplenty. However, some of us seem to have difficulty to kickstart our resolutions unless all holiday leftovers are gone.

10 of Jake Gyllenhaal's Greatest Film Performances
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors. Not only is he really talented, but he's also intelligent, charming and he uses his fame to support various causes to help people and the planet. He's environmentally conscious, recycles regularly, and spends $400 a year to have trees planted in a forest in Mozambique! Most notably he is the Honorary Chair of the New Eyes For The Needy Advisory Board - a charity which provides glasses for those who can't afford them. He has been donating to the cause since he was young.

The Red Necklace Is Coming to the Big Screen! Who Should Play Our Favorite French Revolutionaries?
This past week, one of the things aiding me to finish my projects and other requirements before the dreadful finals was listening to The Red Necklace audiobook. Narrated in Tom Hiddleston's charming voice, you'll be captivated by not only the story, but how magnificent he is at giving life to each of the characters. His impressions were on point and truly fascinating! You will pause to think whether or not it really is just Tom, or other actors' voices as well.
