Going to a Zumba class can be all you need to get you out of a funk. The upbeat music, the fun dance moves, friendly atmosphere, and the good times with friends make this class good for the soul. If you’re having a bad day and you feel like getting some great exercise, try a Zumba class with your friends! Here are 11 reasons why Zumba is good for you and your soul.

1. You’ll make friends.

There’s nothing that will make you bond with other women more than shaking your booty. Spending an hour shaking it and sweating the pounds off will bring you closer to your friends, plus, it will help you make new friends!

2. It helps you de-stress.

Having a bad day? Laughing and dancing with your best girlfriends will help you to forget about the stress of the day. It will help you to melt away the stress while getting some great exercise!

3. It will amp up your playlist.

The songs you hear at Zumba will stick in your head for days. But, the upside to this is that you will now have some great new, high energy songs for your playlist! Let the jam sessions begin…

4. It will give you confidence.

Once you get comfortable shaking your booty in front of everyone, you will gain some confidence! Nothing makes you feel better than dancing like no one’s watching!

5. You’ll smile more.

After you finish your class, the rest of your night will be happier! You’ll smile knowing that you just kicked some butt at your Zumba class!

6. You’re more likely to dance around the house.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself doing Zumba routines while doing random things around the house. Next time you sweep the floor, you might find yourself dropping it low!

7. You will have something to bond with your friends over.

Hobbies are great, but hobbies that you can share with your BFF’s are even better! You’ll love having something you bond with your best gals over.

8. You’ll feel healthier.

Having a healthy hobby (that’s also fun!) will make you feel better about yourself. Feeling healthier will push you to be the best version of you that you can be!

9. You’ll have a newfound sense of belonging.

Zumba classes end up feeling more like a community than a class. You’ll learn to encourage each other and complement each other. When you feel like you’re appreciated, you’ll feel like you belong.

10. You will feel accomplished.

Leaving a Zumba class, covered in sweat, you’ll feel like you just accomplished something major. You’ll leave with a confidence boost, great memories, great friends and a great work out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
