When an athlete goes pro they have one goal; win a championship. Some will do whatever it takes to win a championship even if it means leaving everything behind and moving to a new team. A player like Kevin Durant caused a lot of controversy by doing this simply because he had everything he…

The culture of Juice Cleansing is bizarre. It’s a bubbling syrup of colorful vanity and a fear of defecation. A juice cleanse is a temporary diet (three to seven days) of cold pressed or unsweetened fresh juice–no Sunny D or Welch’s Grape. An important staple of a cleanse is the lack of claimed impurities:…
