If you're anything like me, rainy days are your favorite kind of day. Especially rainy days that happen to be in the fall. Here are some activities to do on those rainy days to make them better.

1. Sleep

I know what you are thinking, "How productive." Right? Let me tell you, though, sleeping on a rainy day is the best kind of sleep you will get. The sleep is so much deeper and more relaxing. It's even better when you don't have a set time to get up.

2. Read a Book

Dust off that book that has been sitting on the shelf for months and open it up. Sit by the window and start reading it as you listen to the pitter patter of the rain on the roof and window. You'll get so lost in the novel that you'll forget you will be inside all day.

3. Watch Movies

Turn on some Netflix or throw in a DVD and have a movie marathon with someone, or even just yourself. Don't forget the snacks and drinks. You deserve it, baby.

4. Sit and Watch the Rain

If you have a porch, sit on it. If you don't, sit by a window and open it wide. Smell some fresh air and look at the peaceful scene of the rain hitting the pavement.

5. Listen to Music

Put on that album you haven't listened to yet, or put your playlist on shuffle. Just sit there while the music and the rain take you to your happy place.


6. Try Some New Recipes

All the times you wanted to try something different for supper or dessert will be paid off today. While everything is getting wet from the rain outside, you can start making those different recipes and perfecting them. At your next get together, your dish will be the most complimented.


7. Do some crafting and DIYing

Dig out that tote of your crafting supplies and start those projects! You know you are dying to try those Pinterest ideas you have had pinned on your boards for months.

8. Play in the rain

Bring out your inner child one of these rainy days and play in the rain. Jump in puddles, play in the mud, dance, catch raindrops in your hands. There is endless fun.

9. Game night

Gather your family and friends in one room together and grab those games collecting dust in the closet. Have some old school fun. There will be so many laughs and memories that you will want to do this every week.

10. Catch up on cleaning

I know, I know. That's the last thing you want to do on a day inside. Unless your sick and twisted. Who knows, you may even like it (probably not).


Now that you know what I do on rainy days and that I obviously LOVE them. Except the cleaning part, because ew. What do you do on your rainy days?

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.
