That's according to IfOnly.com, a website founded by San Francisco-based tech entrepreneur, Trevor Traina, which offers a curated selection of unique experiences for its members to buy or bid on -- with proceeds going to charity.
Launched less than a year ago, the charitable startup supports more than 150 causes, while providing a wide array of experiences for its members to choose from.
Experiences range from a VIP trip to see Justin Timberlake in London (starting at $5,000) or meeting Robin Thicke at the Los Angeles Dodgers' Opening Day ($500), to attending a taping of "Late Night With Seth Meyers" or seeing a show during Motley Crue's farewell tour -- all of which benefit the American Red Cross.
For every item or experience sold, a donation is made to each celebrity's choice of charity.
"Philanthropy is part of my family DNA, and IfOnly was first conceived as a charitable venture," Traina told SFGate.com last year. "But I'm also interested in the for-profit model. I'd noticed people seem more intrigued by experiences than things. And it hit me: The future of luxury is not more cashmere sweaters. It's experiences that mark our milestones we share with friends and family."

The key is remembering that you are the creator of your own life, and you get to decide exactly how you're going to feel about whatever situation you find yourself in.
So how can you find your bliss in the busy-ness of your never-ending to-do list? Start with these five steps:
1) Decide to let go of yesterday, last week and last year. When you let go of the past and instead focus on how and what you can do today to make it count toward your dream life, you're in the driver's seat of making it happen.
2) Say "yes!" from the moment your eyes open each morning. The following is a simple daily habit for feeling good now: From the moment you wake up in the morning, start saying the word "YES!" and keep repeating the word yes! and thinking yes! and feeling yes! What does yes feel like in your heart, in your hands, in your brain, what does it feel like in your gut? And as you get out of bed, jump up in the air and say YES! to your life and yourself. Look in the mirror and continue saying that magical word and the more you say it, the higher your vibration will skyrocket -- guaranteed.
3) Always reach for the better-feeling thought. In order to deliberately create the life you want, one that feels full of ease and joy, you need to be deliberately guiding your thoughts in good-feeling directions.
4) Surround yourself with upbeat positive people and let go of those who drain you. Jim Rohn, motivational speaker, hit the nail on the head with his quote: "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." We tend to subconsciously calibrate ourselves to the energy of those who we are around most -- regardless of whether they are a good influence or not, so become a more deliberator creator by choosing to spend time with people who match the vibration you're wanting.
5) It's not about doing everything perfectly but about infusing as much joy as possible into everything you do. Yes, that includes bill-paying or going to the dentist! Try it -- the next time you have bills to pay, put on your favorite music and allow yourself to feel gratitude. Not only for the things you're paying for and all that you can do with them, but also for the fact that you can actually afford to pay your own bills.
By Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is resigning after overseeing the botched rollout of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, a White House official said on Thursday. Her departure removes one lightning rod for critics as Obama and nervous Democrats try to retain control of the U.S. Senate in November midterm elections, but Republicans continue to see problems with the Affordable Care Act as a winning issue. I think it's just going to embolden Republicans," said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University. The October 1 launch of new Obamacare health insurance marketplaces, which was plagued by computer problems that stymied access for millions of people, has been condemned by Republicans as a step toward socialized medicine.
