After finals, there is nothing you need more than a little rest and relaxation, what a better way to do that than taking a bath. Now, the perfect bath is a well-planned art, so make sure you have all these items on deck to destress.

1. Bath Bomb


If you are taking a bath without a bath bomb, why even bother. Lush has probably the best bath bombs ever, not to mention bubble bars or bath oils, but many other companies make their own version if you are not able to get your hands on one from Lush.


2. Candle


Nothing screams rest and relaxation like a scented candle. Match your candle to your bath bomb to be extra fancy, or just light them all up and fill your bathroom with a cozy glow.


3. Robe


Don't let the comfort end after your bath, make sure you have a super fluffy robe to hang out in after your relaxing soak.


4. Scented Lotion


Make sure to seal in all the moisture from your Lush bath bomb by moisturizing after the bath. Use a scented lotion to make sure the scent lasts and so does your chill.


5. Entertainment


Since you probably do not want to be alone with you post-finals panic, make sure to bring some relaxing entertainment to fill the silence. Try playing music or reading a book, preferably not a textbook.


6. Bath Pillow


After all that stress you totally need a place to rest your head and the hard ledge of the bath just won't cut it. Try a bath pillow like this, to make your soak that much more comfortable.


7. Facemask


If you are anything like me you eat terribly during finals. All the greasy food and sugar combined with stress won't leave your skin feeling great, so try a face mask to help it.


8. Hair Mask


While you are at it might as well do a hair mask as well. My favorite hair masks have argon oil because they leave your hair super soft and smelling great


9. SipCaddy


This contraption gives you a handy cup or snack holder while you are in the bath. If you ever didn't know you needed something, it is this, now all you need is a drink.


10. Drink


Sipping a mug of tea is sure to enhance your experience while steeping in the bath. Depending on how stressful you finals week was you might need something a little stronger if you are 21 that is.


11. Snack

It's the holiday season, AKA the time of the year where I completely give up on being healthy. Bring your favorite snack with you to really make the experience the best it can be.


Happy holidays and good luck on finals if you aren't already done. Destressing is important, so make sure to give yourself the break you need.

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.
