11 Best New Apps of 2016

Everyone remembers apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, and Flappy Bird. They kept you entertained while you waited in line, listened to a boring lecture, or even when you used the loo. After the hype of using those apps died down you probably went back to using you regular go-to apps like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and today’s favorite Snapchat. But even those apps get a little boring sometimes. But let’s be honest, it’s been awhile since an app caught your attention. Luckily, I have a list of new apps that climbing the charts. And let me tell you, they’re worth checking out!

1. Superfly

If Snapchat and Periscope had a baby, then it would probably look a lot like Superfly. It combines live videos with comments, filters, and animations! It’s a lot of fun, and if enough people join in then every conversation is bound to be a memorable one.

2. Beme

Take all of the apps you know and love and throw them out the window! This is a new type of social media app that makes sharing your personal life to the world simple and unfiltered. This app forces the user to capture raw moments without having to worry about editing, angles, and the like. Honestly, you have to give it a shot!

3. Slither.io

Have you been looking for a game to play lately? Well, look no further because this app takes you on a wormy adventure! You have to fight to become the biggest worm, one wrong move and it’s game over!

4. Houseparty

Everyone has that moment when you want to share huge news with a big group of people all at once. And let’s be honest, sometimes that group chat of yours just doesn't do your enthusiasm justice. So look no further because this is a video group chat app! C’mon you know you’ve been dying to have this!

5. Recolor

Everyone’s noticed that coloring books have officially made a comeback. But let’s be honest, not all of us have the money to spend $15 on this hipster fad. So why not get a virtual coloring book instead? It’s simple, fun, easy to use, and most important FREE.

6. Sweat with Kayla

Have you been looking to get into shape? Maybe try out a new recipe here or there? Well, Sweat with Kayla is a new up and coming app that is meant to help you to just that! No gimmicks, just a girl trying to help you feel like your best self through fitness!

7. Ummo


Do you say a lot of um's, like, you-know, etc, while making speeches? Or even while making regular conversation? Well, if you want to fix that problem then this is the app for you! Think of it as you personal speech coach, it can be a lot of fun!

8. Watchi

Many of you have probably heard of, or even had a Tamagotchi. Let’s be honest, sometimes you probably get a little nostalgic and wish you could play with one again. I’m happy to tell you that this dream can come true if you download this app!

9. Parachute

Going somewhere new this weekend? Maybe you’re a little scared because you’ve never been there before. Well, if you want to feel a little safer then download this app. Parachute does everything a phone could possibly do during an emergency. It records discreetly, blacks out your screen, broadcasts your location, etc. It’s worth having if you’re traveling somewhere alone and want to feel just a tad bit safer.

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.

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.
