I love rain days, at least when I am not expected to do anything! There are so many things that you can do on a rainy day that are just better because it is raining. I love the rain. It makes me smile. I am that girl who wants to dance in the rain, as long as its warm! Here are 11 activities I love to do when it rains.

1. Dance

There is just something freeing and energizing about letting lose and dancing. Sometimes you just have to let loose and dance. for one reason or another it is even better when it is raining. It is almost like the rain is washing all of your troubles, stress, and anxiety away.

2. Walk my dog

Rain can be calming and when its warm, I like walking my dog because she does not quite understand rain either and it is really cute, plus its just nice to be just me and her for a little while.

3. Listen to music

Sometimes it is just too cold to dance in the rain so instead, you pump up the music inside and dance all around the house! right? Or at least that is what I do!

4. Read

And other times you need the comfort of other people without having actual other people. In this case, I read. For me, reading is entering another world altogether and I love it!

5. Netflix

Other times, your eyes hurt and you just want to watch. whether its normal T.V., Netflix or Hulu, It all has the same effect.

6. Online Shopping


Now this can be dangerous... I can spend all day shopping online, but problem is I end up spending a lot of money too...

7. Lay in bed all day


Sometimes we just need to sleep, or at least do nothing and the sound of rain can be so relaxing and mind numbing. It is amazing

8. Drive


Driving in the rain can also give you that calming relaxing feeling. soft music, rain pounding on the roof, and an endless country road in front of you.

9. Organize and Clean


There is something about rain that just makes staying in side, cleaning and organizing so much easier to do. Or if your like Monica, you can vacuum your vacuum!

10. Cook or Bake


I love to cook and bake anyhow but, on rain days it goes in over drive. I want warm baked chocolate chip cookies or fresh baked zucchini bread.

11. Go to the Movies

It can be nice to just sit in a cold movie theater, eating popcorn, and wondering if the storm is in the movie or outside!

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.

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.
