19 Reasons Why Being Healthy Is Difficult In The Winter

Fall is my favorite season, but I must admit there is something so magical about winter time. Maybe it is all the holidays that fall between November and February, or knowing you will have a break off from school for a short while, but the one thing you can always count on is some amazing food. I honestly think someone can be addicted to food because there are way too many times where no matter how full I am, whatever I am eating tastes too good to put down. Unfortunately, this it what leads to millions of people making their “new years’ resolution” revolve around losing weight and becoming healthy. It’s all foods fault.

Winter time ultimately means food. In the winter you have..


1. Bonfires, which are not the same without s’mores!

2. Hot cocoa that now comes in so many flavors- peppermint, dark chocolate, ones with tiny marshmallows etc.

3. Eggnog.

4. Spiked eggnog (even more calories)!

5. So many pies of all types: pumpkin, pecan, apple, chocolate and more.

6. Grandma will be very upset if you don’t eat her meals.

7. All the holidays are centered around food.

8. Hanukkah, which is eight days… eight days full of brisket and latkes

9. Candy canes are everywhere and so easy to eat.

10. As a chef you must taste all the food you prepare.

11. Finals will make you stress eat anything in sight.

12. Family vacations where you stuff yourself as well, especially on a cruise. Hello buffet!

13. Left overs… for days.

14. Football season tailgates and surrounded by BBQ and pizza.

15. A weird craving for cold items like ice cream and milkshakes.

16. To stay warmer you eat more to have more body fluff.

17. All the shopping you do at the mall needs some food fuel.

18. Starbucks has such cute cups that you don’t even care if you aren't thirsty.

19. You make several trips home to a fridge full of food cooked by mom, the best!

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.
