Snooping Around

In order to celebrate Christmas holidays, one of the groups I follow (Blogghidee) has decided to organize a special event called "Dreams and  Christmas exchanges" (the actual name is Sogni e Scambi di Natale). Shortly, each one has to share a personal dream , promoting those of others on blogs and G + profiles . And so I decided to join this event, including this to my list of New Year's resolutions. But this time is not so simple, because I must necessarily share with you what I am about to write. For me 2014 was not so great. At the beginning of the year I lost my grandma, one of the few people in the world I have ever loved, and my life changed completely overnight. Anyway, I always hope for a better tomorrow, something a lot of people don' t keep doing. I could write down all my desires, like being good at university and maybe publish the book I'm currently writing. Believe me, my "Bottle of Dreams" is huge. But this is not what I have in my heart

Christmas is finally coming. This is my very first Christmas as a blogger, and I'm really happy and excited to be able to talk about this holiday season with you, sharing some interesting facts. Among all others, Christmas holidays are without a doubt my favorites.  A shallow mind might think that I’m saying this only for the huge amount of spare time I have in this period or for out of town trips. Not that I don’t like these things, but what I love the most about it is the atmosphere. And I really believe everybody have ever felt that wonderful sensation you get out in the streets, seeing colorful lights, packages tied up with strings, decorated trees and people intent in last minute shopping ..... and maybe snow falling on your head. I think Christmas can also change the most skeptical mind .... and some of the random facts I propose you today will surely make you believe the same. So, here for you some Random facts about Christmas. 1.  We frequently abbreviate Christmas a

It is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the opposite of white and often represents darkness in contrast with light. This, my dear Snoopers, is the meaning of the word "Black", according to Wikipedia. Briefly, black isn't a color. Is simply "no color". And this sad characteristic gives black the popularity of being the sign of bad luck and death omens. In my opinion I think black has a very deeper meaning, and especially animals are fantastic in this color. This little intro for telling you not to shake with fear in front of a Black Animals just because you think it'll bring you diseases and disasters. They don't deserve it! But today I'm here to talk about another of the most common animals ever known in history with this problematic issues (and one of my personal favorites). Let's talk about The Raven. How to describe this wonderful creature without being classy. It's impossible. My

Surfing on the Internet in search of new mysteries to talk about I found out something very strange. I’ve already talked about the Ringing Rocks County Park . And again today’s weirdness is located in Pennsylvania. What if I tell you there exists a city which has been burning for almost 50 years. And is still burning now.  I was surprised when I first heard about Centralia , a borough (a self-governing municipal entity that is usually smaller than a city) and a near-ghost town in Columbia County. Its population has radically dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 8 in 2014 , and so is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. But If you look at it, seems a very pleasurable city. So why everybody ran away ? Founded in 1862, Centralia came out because of the booming coal mining industry. Under the town lays a particular type of coal, called Anthracite coal (also known as Black Diamond, a much cooler name), once in high demand for heating homes. This underground mine

Awww! That cup of coffee. When you grab it, pouring that dark liquid into your mouth in early morning, you are sure it will help you against sleep. It's commonly known this is caused by caffeine, a chemical widely used for its awakening properties. Caffeine has been used as a drug for thousands of years, both in medicine and in daily life.  There are several plants, cultivated or harvested, that contain this substance, but today caffeine is added to many foods, more than you think. Despite the increase in caffeine use in recent times, many people have little knowledge of the overall effects it has on their bodies. So, let's start with this new "Discovery Central". The word Caffeine derives of course from the world coffee because coffee plants were one the first discovered ones which had a huge amount of it. Caffeine’s chemical name is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, based on its formula,  C 8 H 10 N 4 O 2 , and in its pure form caffeine is a very bitter white powder
