Howell had their ever-popular hot air balloon festival recently and many were amazed at the colorful balloons lifting off high into the air. This year’s fest was majorly sponsored by Cleary University, which isn’t too unfamiliar with Ypsilanti.

The first Incredibles movie came out in November of 2004 and was rated a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. This year on June 15 the Incredibles 2 was released in theaters. I can whole heartedly say I was beyond excited to see this film. Not only did I love the first one but my own father loved it too and often would refer to himself as Mr. Incredible. The whole family loved the Incredibles and for good reason. Disney Pixar has done a fine job with the first Incredibles film and now I can say the same for the second.

I was sitting having a coffee in the early afternoon and noticed there weren’t many vegan options I’d like to try at the place I was at the time, and the prices weren’t really my taste. I also realized I had never been to a fully vegan restaurant before and would really like to go. As a disclosure, I myself am not a full vegan – however, I have developed a health condition that prevents me from eating dairy now and therefore I like to use vegan products to replace the dairy products I used to love. Visiting a fully vegan restaurant was the best idea I had for lunch that day. I simply typed ‘vegan food’ into my GPS on my phone, and the first choice that came up said Detroit Vegan Soul.

If we want to lose weight, start a decent sleep schedule, or even learn how to better organize our lives, we need to start small. Here are five easy-to-commit-to New Year’s Resolutions.
