13 Times Infomercials Blew Our Minds

Now, I don't know about you, but I find infomercials to be very entertaining. If you have at least a semi-sarcastic sense of humor like me, you can find the life lessons hidden within these informercials.

Here are some things that I learned that simply blew my mind:

1) A messy house is a dangerous house.

Hey, you never know when you'll trip over a toy truck and smash right into a glass table. Things happen.

2) Camping with family is the best kind of camping.

Can I get a "what, what?"

3) Wearing the color white during a meal is oftentimes not a good idea:

Even adults know the struggle.

4) Things that come out of boiling water are usually hot:

Sometimes, you just have to learn things the hard way.

5) Carrying approximately 1,000 things at once is not a good idea:

Taking multiple trips from point A to point B sounds like too much work. I know, I know.

6) Beauty isn't pain... it's weirdness:

I have no words.

7) There is no such thing as invading someone's personal space in the name of cleanliness:

Just take out that pocket-sized vacuum and do your thing, you clean freak, you.

8) Cats are obviously the worst:

But we already knew that.

9) Pocket-less pants DO exist:

Darn it. If only there was a thing you could put your phone in that loops over your shoulder in a fashionable manner. Hmm...

10) Storing tupperware isn't as hassle-free as one may think:

11) You can put on deodorant with a blindfold on:

Oh, joy!

12) Curly hair is just comical.

Hair, you silly goose!

13) Cutting a loaf of bread with a door stop will not yield positive results:

Wait . . . I was sure that this is what they're made for.


People say that you learn something new every day, but I say, learn 13 new things TODAY and save yourself some time.

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.
