10 Ways To Be Your Own Valentine
Emily Jimenez

Here are 10 ways to be your own Valentine!

1. Pop open that bottle of wine, girl! Wine is just the answer sometimes. Have a bad day? Wine. Mom calls nagging you? Wine. Watching The Bachelor? Hella wine.

.

2. Treat yourself by doing something you would not do on a daily basis for yourself. Some of my favs are a nice bubble bath, sitting down to watch a movie I haven’t seen by myself, or getting a massage.

3. Buy some flowers!! A nice bouquet of flowers is always the perfect touch to brighten up your living space. You are literally forced to have sunlight beaming through. This should help with the room darkener curtain cave you have been living in.

4. Don’t buy chocolate. The next morning you will wake up with a sugar pimple and feeling fat and that is just a downward hill you don’t want to go down. If you must have some chocolate, try dark chocolate and put it in the freezer for an extra crunch!

5. Get new makeup! There is nothing that retail therapy can’t cure, especially new makeup!

6. Do yourself a favor and listen to the new JoJo album, Mad Love. My girl Jojo slays my life and her new album is bomb and a half. Plus, she is on tour right now and will probably be coming to your city soon!!

7. Take a social media break! The constant updates and seeing all of Aunt Betty’s pictures from her magical trip to Disney for the millionth time gets a little annoying. Delete those apps or just put them in a separate folder. Right as you open your phone, you won’t tempted to look at it!

8. Dance it out! Meredith and Cristina (from Grey’s Anatomy) were onto something when they started the tradition of dancing when they felt stressed or upset. TBH it actually works.

9. Go to a local coffee shop and people-watch. Get yourself a vanilla latte and sit back and enjoy the interesting characters that come in.

10.TREAT YO SELF in general. Do what you like when you like. I just gave you a long list of stuff to do but if none of those seem appealing and you have your own list of happy things to do, GO HEAD AND DO 'EM!

Xoxo. Peace.Love.Kardashians.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
