There are two things in this life that are probably worse than a prison sentence: finding bed bugs in your hotel room, and trying to rid your house of a bed bug infestation.


Okay, I'm kidding. But that's just how bad I hate bed bugs. There's this idea that people who live in nasty houses are the ones who are most likely to get bed bugs. But with cities fighting tooth and nail to rid their residents of mass bed bug infestations, especially in hotels and restaurants, this idea is certainly not true.

Any business or household could get bed bugs, and anyone visiting a hotel or business knows that those creepy little suckers could easily make themselves comfy in your luggage, on the bottom of your shoes, or inside of your purse. That's exactly what happened to one California couple who found themselves fighting off bed bugs in a hotel room during a New Year's trip to New York.

In a viral video uploaded to YouTube after the first of the year, Elgin Ozlen and his girlfriend showed viewers the horror that they were met with in their room at the Astor on the Park Hotel on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. Elgin said in the video,

"[We are] Going to now the third room that we've been moved to in two nights. The first one, the heater didn't work. The second one, the power outlets didn't work, so we couldn't charge our phones. The third room we're in is going to shock you, because half the power outlets don't work, the heater doesn't work as well. And then the surprise, you're going to see for yourself."

Then he went into his hotel room, lifted his matters, and and showed video of what looked like dirt on his mattress. It was actually a colony of bed bugs. Yuck!

December is about letting go. We end the year with the need for more peace, reflection, and rejuvenation, and that is exactly what December is providing for us. The Sun is in Sagittarius, and anything is possible. This is the month to believe in that and to know that the universe is supporting you. With a Supermoon in Gemini as we begin the month as well, we have an opportunity to gain the closure we have been looking for this year and to wrap up old projects, ideas, and communication breakthroughs.

This is the month to make your peace the priority and let go of trying to control the way the tides are turning. Trust in your new beginning, and give yourself time to prepare for it this month.

More Than Gratitude: 7 Signs You're Struggling With Contentment In Your Life

If Thanksgiving happens to be your favorite holiday — or you just happen to be a longstanding participant of it — then there is one tradition that you are probably familiar with. Usually, before everyone eats, each individual expresses at least one thing that they are grateful for. I actually think that is one of the best things about the holiday because it reminds people to slow down and really reflect on how to be in the moment and think about the blessings that they have. And that, my friend, is what gets folks into the mindset of knowing how to be…content — even if it’s just for a brief moment.
