Pink Slush Alani Review

By: McClain Segars

My favorite energy drink is the Pink Slush Alani. I believe that it is the best Alani flavor and the others do not compare. Pink Slush is exactly what you’d expect from its name, It’s the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Like every Alani Nu energy drink, Pink Slush packs 200 mg of caffeine with no sugar and only 10 calories. It’s the ideal pre-workout pick-me-up or mid-afternoon mood booster and gives you energy without the crash. The cute pink can and candy-like flavor make it my favorite for a reason. Whether you’re powering through a workout or just need something to brighten your day, this flavor delivers every time. Out of all the Alani Nu flavors, Pink Slush stands out for its perfect balance of flavor, energy, and fun. It’s sweet, nostalgic, and energizing which is everything you could want in an energy drink. What makes Pink Slush special is how balanced it is. Some energy drinks are overly sweet or too artificial, but this one is the perfect mix. a refreshing mix of cherry, raspberry, and maybe just a hint of citrus. It’s sweet but not syrupy, tart but not sour. Unlike other energy drinks, it doesn’t have that bitter “energy” taste or a weird aftertaste. You get smooth, clean energy that actually lasts. It’s a drink that looks as good as it tastes.

Vacation

By: McClain Segars

I have been able to visit Florence, Italy twice and it has been the best experience both times! Once with my family and the second time with my school, so here are a few tips!

Walk Everywhere: Florence is a small city, and the best way to experience it is on foot. Plus, you’ll stumble upon hidden gems that you might miss if you’re driving. Learn Some Italian Phrases: Locals appreciate it when you try a little Italian. Even just saying “Ciao” (hello) or “Grazie” (thank you) goes a long way.
Skip the Line Tickets: If you’re visiting popular spots like the Uffizi or the Accademia (where the David statue lives), book your tickets online in advance to avoid the long lines.
Don’t Rush: Florence is meant to be savored, not rushed. Take your time, enjoy the food, the art, and the atmosphere. And most importantly—have fun!

Florence is the perfect mix of culture, food, history, and style—and it’s all waiting for you to explore. Whether you’re there for the art, the food, or just to see what all the hype is about, Florence will leave you with memories you’ll never forget. So pack your bags, grab your camera, and get ready for an adventure you’ll be talking about for years.

Park City Review

By: McClain Segars

One of the best surprises about Park City? How much there is to do besides skiing. We arrived in Park City just as a fresh blanket of snow had settled over the town. It was like stepping into a snow globe. The streets were lined with twinkling lights, the air was crisp but not painfully cold, and the mountains loomed in the background like gentle giants. It felt cozy, welcoming, and somehow festive even though it wasn’t Christmas. We spent one afternoon wandering historic Main Street popping into quirky shops, grabbing hot chocolate, and visiting the Park City Museum, which was surprisingly fun for all of us . We also took a horse-drawn sleigh ride one evening up the mountain. It felt like something out of a movie, the cold air, the quiet crunch of snow, the mountains turning blue in the fading light. And the food? Incredible. From cozy
mountain lodges with giant fireplaces to family-friendly pizza spots, we never struggled to find a good meal. We even splurged one night on a fondue dinner. Park City stole our hearts. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, activity and family time. We came home tired in the best way muscles sore, bellies full, hearts happy. Everyone is already asking when we can go again, and when we are available for another trip! If you’re considering a winter family vacation, Park City should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re first-time skiers or seasoned pros, it’s got that magical combination of charm, fun, and ease that makes travel feel less like a chore and more like a true adventure.
