Its all about your lifestyle!

I am by nature, a person that loves to talk about about life and all that it encompasses, as an abstract concept. So anything that could hold different meanings for different people is what I would love to write about. Choosing a category, therefore, came very easily to me: Lifestyle.


Some of the article trends in the 'lifestyle' category:
  • Marriage as a change of lifestyle
  • Relationships and live-ins
  • Meditation as a part of your lifestlye
  • Self help articles
  • DINK couples
  • Travel and vacations
Two lifestyle feature story ideas that i may want to pursue:
  1. Why are so many couples opting for the DINK (Double income, no kids) lifestyle? The advantages and disadvantages of taking this path.
          Pros:
  • Fairly new concept and on the rise.
  • I am very interested in finding out more about it and writing about it.
  • It correlates directly with the category; its a lifestyle choice.
          Cons:
  • Although new, it has been written about quite a lot.
  • Lack of availability of information
  • It would be hard to be unbiased and not pick a side.



     2.  Spirituality today: What is the trend? How do people connect with themselves and                       
          their higher power (if they believe in one) ?
         
         Pros:
  • Favorite topic, which means I'll write this one with more passion.
  • Lots of information available as well as many different possibilites and directions to take this in.
  • Every body usually has something to say about this (if this is to be an interview)
        Cons:
  • Converting the pool of information available into an interesting feature story that people would want to read
  • Particularly important to not bring in my own point of view in this because there will already be a lot of different points of view in the story.
