If I could meet any two people in the world, I would probably want to meet Chip and Joanna Gaines. Not only do they make the perfect fixer-upper duo, but they are so funny. I love to get home decor inspiration from Joanna, and Chip makes me laugh at least a few times every episode. If you spend your Tuesday nights glued to your TV screen watching "Fixer Upper," here are 10 signs that you're obsessed


1. You want a sliding farm door in every room of your house.

Who would have thought that a sliding farm door would look so great in a bedroom, or even in a kitchen? Joanna's design choices are so beautiful, and they have you wanting a farm door in every room of your house.

2. You follow them on every social media account.

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You've got them all. If you don't have them, I have happily listed them here for you. You're welcome.

3. You've made plans to put shiplap in every room of your home.

Let's face it, shiplap is the heart of "Fixer Upper" and if you had it your way, you would put it in every corner of your home. Shiplap bedroom walls, shiplap picture frame, shiplap entryway, shiplap headboard, shiplap table, shiplap door (can you even shiplap all of these things?)

4. You have texted your significant other and asked them if you could move to Waco, Texas one day.

When you first became obsessed with the show, you immediately Googled how you could have your house fixed up by Chip and Joanna one day. When you realized they only do projects in Waco and surrounding counties, you mentally listed all of the possible ways that you could move there one day.


5. When they told you no, you threatened them with 'Fixer Upper' episodes on repeat.


Since you have already watched and re-watched every episode at least twice and plan to watch every one that is released, you would be more than happy to sit down with your person just to let them enjoy all of the episodes, too. After all, you would hate for them to have to miss out on all of the shiplap goodness, right?


6. You've tried designing everything in your house or apartment to look like something Jo would do.


Every time you watch a new episode, you're inspired to change everything. This probably annoys your roommates and your family, but you don't care because it's just your "hobby." You make endless designs and plans to redo your home. After making these plans, you realize that you actually have no idea what you are doing and currently have no money so you stick with daydreaming for now.


7. When you're out somewhere and you see something that looks like a 'Fixer Upper' original design, you talk all about it like you're an expert.

"This place is totally inspired by "Fixer Upper." Just look at that front door-- definitely Joanna's style" or "Um that is so Chip and Joanna."


8. You'll do anything to get your hands on some of the gorgeous pieces Joanna styles.

You see a really gorgeous light fixture on an episode so you do as much researching as you can to figure out where you can find that beauty. After a few hours, you come across one that will just have to do, but after checking the price, you quickly shut your laptop and go do your laundry.


9. Home decor stores have become your favorite stores.

You spend a lot of time looking at the home decor stuff in all of these stores. Every now and then, you find the perfect piece, and you feel just like Jo. You can't wait to get home so you can place your new "Fixer Upper" inspired piece in your home.


10. Neutrals are the way to go.

There's no doubt that Joanna loves to style "Fixer Upper" projects with neutrals. As you become more obsessed, you find yourself saying goodbye to color and hello to neutrals. You just love how and simplistic neutrals can make a house feel and you adore how Joanna styles grey walls with light colored accessories. You're always inspired by her neutrals approach.

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.
