What is it?

Rock The Vote is a non-profit organization that is considered "progressive-aligned" group in the United States.

What's The Mission?

The mission is simply 

"To engage and build the political power of young people"

This mission is geared toward getting young people getting registered and voting in the age groups of 18-24 years old.

History

The group was funded in 1990 and Co-chaired by Virgin Records America and Jeff Ayeroff. Rock The Vote is supported by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Rock The Vote brought education to high school students about voting and elections and democracy. The teaching plan was non-partisan and uses music, pop culture, and class discussions to teach our kids how to become engaged as active citizens and have the skills and the knowledge how to vote in our election process. Many, many celebrities and rock icons have lent their voices to Public Service Announcements regarding Rock The Vote. MTV became a number one supporter as well. The list is incredible with names like Aerosmith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Madonna to name just a few. The Schoolhouse of Rock educational series also touted the Rock The Vote campaign that was aired on PBS.

So Why Support it?

I support it because things have changed over time, and so has Government classes in our schools and colleges, and this campaign continues to support their original mission to bring education and knowledge to young people who may think the system is too hard to understand or are confused by vocabulary or politics in general.

It is easy to for 18-24-year-olds to register, and in under 2 minutes that can be ready to vote and become productive citizens.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
