12 Struggles Of Having Curly Hair

If you're like me, you were cursed blessed with some luscious curls upon your head. However, what people don't understand is the daily struggle we go through. What comes easy to you is 10 times harder for us. Getting ready in the morning is a struggle in and of itself; never mind adding in a mess that just can't be tamed.

1. You always have bed head.

What a time to be alive!

2. When you straighten half of your hair...

And it's too late to turn back. But you know you have to finish, so you debate pulling a Britney Spears circa 2007 every single time.

3. But on the rare occasion when you do straighten your hair...

Everyone acts like Jesus returned, and you don't know if you should take it as a compliment or an insult.

4. You can never go to sleep with wet hair.

Or you will wake up like this.

5. And you can never brush it.

You don't even own a brush, which your friends find alarming.

6. You can never get bangs.

Or you are a constant hot mess and will hate your life very much.

7. You spend a fortune on products.

It should really be compensated by the government, because a "dime size" amount never cuts it.

8. You have a major panic attack when you need to get a haircut.

Because so much could go utterly wrong.

9. The wind is your enemy.

Trying to put your hair back together after the slightest wind gust is just the same to you as a monsoon striking.

10. And so is humidity.

Checking the weather and praying that an extra splash of product will get you through the day.

11. And precipitation.

Pretty much any natural element you could think of.

12. And you can't go a day without someone asking to touch it.

Leaving you feel like an un-caged zoo animal lost in the wild.

But at the end of the day we love it, so don't forget to embrace what God gave ya!

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.
