New York. Los Angeles. Chicago. Any number of metropolitan areas across the U.S. You were born and raised in one of the bigger cities in the nation, or maybe you spent a few very informative years of your life in one for college. But now a new job, marriage or children have brought you into the suburbs or small towns of America. It’s not that you’re unhappy, but you do miss the hustle and bustle of the big city you left behind. Celebrate your love for metropolitan living in a small, tight-knit community and bring the best of it to your new home.

Whether you make a trip to Hawaii an annual event or you simply dream of someday spending time on America’s island paradise, you can live a little of the mai ho`okaumaha (no worries) Hawaiian lifestyle even if you’re stuck in a place where it’s covered in snow half the year. Place little reminders of Hawaii, the tropics and a stress-free attitude throughout your life, so you remember to take a deep breath and relax wherever you go. Round out your celebration of your love for America’s 50th state with a party on a warm summer night.

My lords and my ladies, the Renn Faire season is upon us. If you live in a warm climate, you might have access to a Renaissance Faire year-round, but usually, summer is the time for putting on medieval and Renaissance fashion, heading down to the seasonal Renn Faire and spending the day pretending you’ve stepped into the past; even if you have to hop into your modern day “motorized chariot” to get there. If you love the Renaissance like no other period in history, here’s how to prep for the best season of the year.

If laughter is one of your favorite things about life, or you’re otherwise known as the jokester in the family, let your love for humor leak over into every aspect of your life. Decorate your car to show off your fun personality. Whether it’s parked in a lot or stopped at a light, you’ll bring a smile to the drivers around you — and relieving tension on the roads is always a good thing.
