12 Reasons Why We're In Love With HGTV's Fixer Upper
HGTV

It’s no secret to admit that HGTV’s "Fixer Upper" has won over our hearts. The power couple Chip and Joanna Gaines are wonderful individuals; clever, talented and has a breath of fresh air on their design, renovation show located in Waco, Texas. Here’s reasons why we’re in love with "Fixer Upper."

1. One word: shiplap

The two are BIG fans of this; you’ll hear this word at least 20 times while watching the show. A renovation isn’t complete without it. Rough sawn pine paneling found in most barns and historic farms, they’ve turned this unique aesthetic into their signature, design look. Where can we get some shiplap?

2. Their kids

Our other favorite characters on the show. They’re absolutely adorable and a bundle of joy -- please let us babysit them, please!

3. Joanna's wardrobe

She doesn’t only have good taste in design, her personal style is always on point. With a mix of urban, modern and bohemian, it fits well with her comfortable laid back lifestyle.

4. The animals

Oh, look a goat!

Oh, look another puppy!

Oh look a cow is birthing a new calf.

Looks like they’ll be late to showing their next client some homes, again.

5. Demolition day


What day is it?! It could arguably be our favorite day of the week.

6. Some more words: French doors, farmhouse sink, reclaimed wood, subway tile.

You get the picture. All the pieces to the Fixer Upper puzzle. Thank you for introducing these to us, Joanna. How else would we sound classy and sophisticated when discussing home interiors?

7. That house poster

How much do those things cost? And wouldn’t blindfolds just be easier?

8. Waco (Go Baylor Bears!)

Oooh, the home buyers are Baylor grads? Another BIG surprise!

9. Chip ('s sense of humor, belly, sweat...)

He’s a mess, but we love him anyways. Even if he no longer has his special tooth.

10. The price of homes in Texas

These are less than my student loans. When can we move here?

11. The Silos!

Magnolia Market is a store we’ve always dreamed of and their new headquarters are now even better than before. It truly marks all their success and hard work they’ve done, and right in the heart of Waco.

12. Chip and Joanna are GOALS

Despite most reality shows, you can tell the two of them are genuinely happy. A simple couple with big dreams, they were able to make everything become a reality. In life with their lives and each other, thanks Chip and Joanna for giving us a real life fairytale.

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.
