Help! There's a monster in my closet.

When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking the shadow of a tree branch swaying in the wind or a dog barking in the far off distance was clearly some monster coming to get me. Even at the narcissistic age of seven, it made sense to me that, of all the children in the world, the monster would pick me to taunt. It didn't matter that monsters didn't really exist. They haunted me nonetheless.

Twenty years later, I'm older and supposedly wiser. The imaginary monsters have faded into childhood memories but now I'm left with the tangible ones. You know, those thoughts buried deep in the back of your mind. The ones that only seem to creep to the surface at two in the morning when you were busy sleeping. How am I going to get everything done tomorrow? Did I offend someone the other day with my cynical comment? What should I do with my life? What do I want to do with my life?

If only the tangible monsters could disappear with the help of a nitelite.

The perfect midnight snack:
S'mores with a twist
Graham crackers
Marshmellows
Nutella

Spice up your traditional s'more by using nutella instead of chocolate. Take a short cut by assembling the pieces together and putting them in the microwave for 20 seconds rather than roasting the marshmellows over the stove.
