Today is the day that many of us have been waiting on all year, it’s Thanksgiving! As we gather around the table to appreciate our family, friends and the joy of a perfectly cooked turkey, after a plate or two the familiar feeling of sleepiness will try to convince us to take a nap, but why? Popular belief points to eating turkey as the culprit as it contains the amino acid tryptophan, one of the nutrients that make up the building blocks of chemicals in the brain that make us sleepy. However, according to Live Science, experts say that the real culprit is the large amount of carbohydrates and alcohol we consume on Thanksgiving, citing that turkey can’t compete with all of the amino acids to possibly have a huge impact on our drowsiness.

The parties are different from when I was younger, but celebrating Halloween is still cherished by

When there is a theme party organized and you are invited for it, you can’t just wear your regular party dress and go for it because then you will feel completely out of place and you will be the odd one out. Therefore, for theme parties, you need to keep up with the fashion and get yourself some theme oriented clothes. Theme parties are always going to be different. Therefore, you can’t just stick to one dress that can be worn for two theme parties. A theme is never going to repeat itself and so we need to constantly keep buying different sets of apparels in order to go with whatever theme party that comes up. All of this can be a pretty costly affair and not all of us can easily afford it. Most of us tend to give up on parties like these and prefer to stay indoors only because we can’t afford the costumes and we don’t want to go without completely dressing
