COMPANIES HELPING DURING THE CORONAVIROUS OUTBREAK


I know all people are talking about it the coronavirus, but I thought I would talk about a few good things that companies are doing in the midst of the pandemic. Many companies and schools are pushing towards going online and working from home. This can create some challenges if you do not have a way to access the internet or device to use at home. Below are just a few examples of some great things’ companies are doing to help their employees and customers!

Facebook is pushing their employees to work from home and with that they are giving away free portal video chat devices to employees that request one. Portal comes in several models that allows you to video chat and can even project through their TV sets.

Fossil informed all customers through social media that they will be closing all stores until March 28th. The good thing that they are doing is guaranteeing that their employees will be paid while the stores are closed. I thought this was such a great thing to hear because so many workers are concerned that they will not have their income.

Spectrum is offering students free internet during this time of online learning. This include college and K-12 students. They are allowed to have this service free for the next 60 days! I love hearing companies step up and offer services to help their customers or the community in general! This should be good news to those students that are impacted by the coronavirus and do not have access to the internet.

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

LOOKING BACK AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES CLASS

Last semester I was looking for a class to take to fill my credit hours. I had no idea that this class would teach me so much more than I had ever expected. My first week back in class, some of my classmates told me that Dr. Aggie’s class was fun, but challenging. Along with that, this is the one class that I need to read the textbook. Although this was somewhat intimidating to hear, I stuck with the course and now I am so happy that I did. Along with learning about social media and how to run it from a business standard, I met some awesome people along the way. Having such a small class meant that we all got to know each other well. Along with this, even when we went to remote learning our class sessions were still fun! I am going to miss making Tik Tok videos in class before we start lecture and learning about my classmates and professor. Even though blogging was my least favorite part of this class, I feel like I learned so much about blogging over these past 15 weeks. M...
