11 Ways To Get Out Of That Slump
Style Etcetera

We all have those days where we walk into our poorly lit bathroom and don't recognize the frazzled mess in the mirror staring back at us. Whether it be homework is taking over, a night out took its toll, or life is just simply not on our side lately, we all let ourselves go. So, sit back, relax, and try these11 things to kick the blah and get your glowing aura back.


Go for a run outside

Or even a walk if, like me, you believe that running is an evil version of exercise. The fresh air and endorphins will have you feeling great. There is nothing better than the high of a newfound fitness kick.

Try a face mask

Run out to any grocery store and grab a mask. They come in all different types so you can go fruity, minty, clay, peel-off, or any other version in your dreams. They will leave your face feeling vibrant after days of brushing off a skin care routine.

Hop in a cold shower

Freezing. Cold. The cure for sleepiness and the grunge feeling, the jolt of energy will liven you right up to take on your day.

Take the time to use toiletries

This does not mean toothpaste. Dig around your closet for that hair treatment you thought you would use every day but never opened, or that nice body scrub. You are beautiful, you deserve overpriced beatification products.

Do your nails

Lotion, file, cut, use a top coat. No more of the usual slapping on the same color over the already chipped polish. A nice manicure will surely make you feel like your life is together.


Buy new makeup

No explanation needed. New makeup solves everything.

Purchase a flattering outfit

Nothing makes you feel more confident than a nice new outfit that fits perfectly. You will kill it for days.

Have a dance party in your room

Nothing kicks the blues like cranking up Taylor Swift's old albums and dancing it out.

Drink a TON of water

This is the accretion to the saying more is not better. Water livens you up, clears up the skin, and makes the whole body feel great. So get drinking.

Organize your closet

Maybe it's just me, but my closet has not been clean in about a year. Having that perfectly organized would just make me feel like I actually had a handle on the rest of my life.


SO, no more unkept inner and outer appearances. Try these 11 things and then tell me you don't feel GREAT!

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.
