Good vibes, always.

11 Songs For The Perfect Beach Day
Lindsay Rhys

It's summer. The best damn season of all. I don't know about you, but I live in a beach town, which means you will find me at the ocean every day until the end of August. Absolutely nothing better than spending the entire day on the beach with your friends and family, good drinks, good food and great music. The key to a great beach get together is the music that is playing. Good vibes are what we long for, and having the right tunes at the beach will definitely make it memorable.


1. "Island Song," Zac Brown Band

"You should lose track of your timing

Grab a drink beside me

Down in the islands, down in the islands"

2. "Good People," Jack Johnson

"Where'd all the good people go?

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow"


3. "Send Me On My Way," Rusted Root

"I would like to reach out my hand

I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)

You know what they say about the young"


4. "Into The Mystic," Van Morrison

"I don't have to fear it and I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And magnificently we will flow into the mystic"

5. "California Dreamin'," The Mamas & The Papas

"All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)

And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

On a winter's day (on a winter's day)

I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)

If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)"


6. "Rum Is The Reason," Toby Keith

"I ain't getting much done but I'm having sun sailing on the deep blue sea

My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum and the sun sinking down on me

My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libra chased down with a 12 oz curl

Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world"


7. "Stay A Little Longer," Brothers Osborne

"Give it one more call

It's one more whatcha doin' right now?

It's one more trip to my side of town and you walk right in

One more here we go again"


8. "Boat Drinks," Jimmy Buffett

"Boat drinks. Boys in the band ordered boat drinks.

Visitors just scored on the home rink.

Everything seems to be wrong."


9. "Could You Be Loved," Bob Marley

"Could you be loved and be loved?

Could you be loved and be loved?

Don't let them fool ya

Or even try to school ya, oh, no

We've got a mind of our own

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right

Love would never leave us alone"


10. "Wildfire," John Mayer

"You look fine, fine, fine

Put your feet up next to mine

We can watch that water line get higher and higher

Say, say, say

Ain't it been some kind of day

You and me been catching on like a wildfire"


11. "Mr. Jones," Counting Crows

"Mr. Jones and me

Tell each other fairy tales

And we stare at the beautiful women

She's looking at you

Ah, no, no, she's looking at me

Smilin' in the bright lights"

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.

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.
