Living people who crawl (not walk) our planet. They are a true blessing, amazing beings, and can grow into be something even more amazing. I'm all for them, as long as you don't take them to crowded places with their incessant screaming and crying. Harsh, I know, but it's true – parents take their babies everywhere. EVERYWHERE. And I get that! But come on. Let's be real, there are certain places babies should not go. In fact, here are 13 places that should be off limits to babies.

1. Concerts.

So, you and your significant other want to go out for a night of singing and reminiscing your favorite band at this concert right? The problem is your babysitter bailed on you again and you already bought the tickets and don't want to waste them. You're probably thinking, "Let's just take baby. He'll love it!" Wrong. He most definitely will not love it. You see, the baby is going to be crying all night because you forced him to come along to this outing. My advice: don't bring him. He will annoy not only you, but everyone else trying to enjoy themselves.

2. The grocery store.

Babies may like being carted around in a shopping cart, but they can cause a ruckus when it comes to touching. I guarantee your child will knock something down and I bet it will break. They like to touch, it helps them understand things. The day you bring your baby to the grocery store is the day your baby will learn that when glass hits the floor it breaks.

3. Movies.

It blows me away that people will purposely bring their children to a movie theater to see a film and expect the child to sit quiet the whole two hours. It's simply not realistic. The reality is that your baby will cry due to him/her having to "go potty." Also, loud noises and babies just don't mix.

4. A fair.

This past weekend I was at the San Diego County Fair and must I say how great of a time it was, aside from all the crying babies! Do not bring your child to a fair. I understand you want your child to experience the fun and vibrant feeling of being at a fair at such a young age, but I beg of you, after five minutes of being there your baby will want to leave. All the clowns, loud noises, and lights are not healthy for your baby. So don't waste your money on trying to please your baby at a fair because it will not be pleased.

5. A church.

Whether it be a church, temple, mosque, anywhere, don't take your baby unless you plan on missing the whole prayer/ceremony. Just saying, you might as well not even go if you're going to miss it all anyway. And it's very inappropriate to interrupt in a place of holiness.

6. Fancy "shmancy" restaurants.

Dude! What are you thinking? Bringing your baby into a place that sells peanuts as the main course for $60. Not okay. Just stick to the gerber baby food in the confinements of your own home.

7. A spa.

What are you even thinking? Don't do it.

8. The gym.

I get that you think having the extra pounds to carry on you as you power walk on the treadmill might help you lose weight, but it's unsafe for your baby. Unless the gym has a daycare, I would advise against bringing your child to a gym.

9. A wedding.

Aww, Samantha and Bill invited you to their wedding and you think it's a good idea to bring your baby? No. It's about their day, not your baby's, so check yo'self.

10. Work.

Did your boss ever physically say it was okay to bring your baby to work? And I presume it's not bring your child to work day (which shouldn't make a difference). This baby will cry and he/she will be loud. So loud that everyone will be giving you a death glare and hate you pretty much forever.

11. School.

By school, I mean college classes, and it's not a good idea. You'll miss the whole lesson from trying to keep you baby at bay.

12. Amusement parks.

They can't even ride the rides! Too short, too short.

13. A plane.

The #1 worst place for a baby to be. Up in the air at ungodly heights with a diaper full of poo and you shuffling in your seat, continuing to hit the chair in front of you (even if you don't mean to). The loud crying and screaming. It's never okay. The person in front of you, next to you, behind, and everyone else on the plane will hate you and your baby for the five hours that you will be on this flight.

Moral of the story. Keep your baby home, at local parks, the beach, the zoo, and that's it.

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.
