1. Bath bombs.

What’s more fun than bath bombs? Watching your bath change colors is entertaining, and the colors of the bath bomb make for great vsco pictures and snapchat photos.

2. Bath salts

Some salts have certain substances in them that make it very good for you skin.

3. Any oils to put in the bath

Like salts, some oil is very good for your skin, like sage.

4. It’s good for your pores

Warm water is good for your pores.

5. It also moisturizes your skin

6. The heat is good for your muscles

What’s better than taking a bath to get rid of your muscle pain?

7. The heat helps with blood circulation

Basically, it helps your heart.

8. Baths are extremely relaxing

If you ever have trouble sleeping try taking a bath

9. Steam helps reduce cold symptoms

Being sick and then relaxing in a bath is probably one of the best things. If steam helps reduce cold symptoms and hot baths are relaxing, what more can you ask for?

10. Baths also help with headaches

The heat helps ease the pressure of the blood vessels

11. You will smell good

Think about it, what’s better than soaking in a hot bath with a great smelling bath bomb or with bath salts? Picking out a bath bomb is probably one of the most fun things you could do at a mall.

12. Need to escape siblings? Take a bath.

Having a sibling can get very irritating. They can’t bother you if you have the door locked. Baths are great excuses to get away for a few minutes.

13. Need to escape social situations?

Like escaping your sister or brother, you can escape any social scene. If someone asks you to go somewhere you don’t want to go, just say you’re in the bath.

14. Where else is a better place to read a book?

One of the best places to read is in the bath. It’s relaxing and quiet. (I highly recommend The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare)

15. Instead of a book, watch Netflix

-Put your phone in a plastic bag or in a life proof case and put on your favorite show. You could also bring a stool or laundry basket in the bathroom if you want to watch Netflix. Usually, propping the laptop on the toilet seat works too.

-Baths are also good for when you can’t find a good show on Netflix. If you’re bored, baths could be fun

16. Stress reliever

With bath bombs, a good book, or a good Netflix show, what else is a better way to help relieve stress?

Cold baths are also good for you, believe it or not.

17. Cold baths helps improve lung function

18. Cold baths are great for athletes with tense/pulled muscles

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.
