By Mia Garcia

Last week, Demi Lovato released her 4th studio album entitled “Demi”. For those who are fans of the artist, you would think that it’s her best album yet. For those who have yet to give Demi a chance, you will not be disappointed with her recent album. There is a song for everyone’s mood. Songs like “Made in the U.S.A.” and “Something That We’re Not” are songs perfect for a drive in the car with your friends. Cher Lloyd even makes an appearance on the album by providing  a sassy hook to the song “Really Don’t Care”, a track that can be comparable to Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).

Your drink will be perfectly chilly all day long! Eat light: Even though that fried rice and orange chicken combo plate might sound tempting, opt for something lighter, like a salad or sushi roll. All the extra grease in that Panda will leave you feeling lethargic and heavier throughout the rest of the day. As a result the heat will take a greater toll on you. Eat light to escape the heat!...
