At what age do Californians reach “peak happiness?” A new study says….*drum roll please* Age 44!
Here’s why: It’s when most of us feel (finally) established in our careers with a stable home and a decent income to handle expenses and the occasional splurge. The same study also found that 75% of SoCal residents would choose love over wealth – if given a choice between the two.
Times are tough for so many of us and our budgets are being stretched to the max to make ends meet. We compiled a list of resources you can try to apply for help with…

Do you have a doll that you think might be haunted? Don’t get rid of it! Haunted dolls are a booming market right now – with most selling online for roughly $200. Most buyers ARE interested in the backstory. The more elaborate, the better. How it was acquired, angered demands it’s made of you, details about its former life, and what it understands about its current existence trapped as a spirit inhabiting a doll.
The 2 most popular are Wanda the Walking Doll and Raggedy Ann.

Turns out – it’s a myth that “boys don’t cry.”
The results of a new survey (from Psychology Today) show men actually cry more often than women. Men cry, on average, four times a month. Women, on the other hand, weep roughly three times monthly.
That’s 48 times a year for men and only 36 for women!
Sophia is the sweetest dog; not only is she physically beautiful, but she has a wonderful, gentle personality.
Sophia’s foster mama describes her as “sooo good, sweet, respectful, engaging, and loving. 100% house-trained and good in her crate. Loves being part of a pack, and gets confidence from other dogs, but also would be fine as an only dog with lots of one on one love and attention. Good with well mannered kids. Good with cats. Would literally be fine to cuddle on the couch all day, but also loves a good hike! She is great when meeting people out and about, and will crawl into anyone’s lap for a pet.”
Sophia can be slightly protective and aloof of strangers coming into her home and will bark at first, but warms up with in minutes. We are sure this will improve as she has more positive experiences, since she is a total love bug and is learning she can trust new people.
