Everyone has those little pleasures in life that bring smiles to our faces and help build a happier, more meaningful existence. They make us feel important and teach us that the little things can be lavish too. Sometimes we overlook these tiny ounces of happiness, but lucky for you I listed a few that make life better.

1. Singing your favorite song in the shower.

We know Emma Stone isn't the only one who uses the shower head as a microphone.

2. A brand new pair of fuzzy socks on your feet.

It's not everyday you feel like you're walking on clouds of cotton candy.

3. Acing a test you didn't study for.


4. Going to bed in fresh, clean sheets.

My sleep is always 100% better when I cuddle up in straight-out of the dryer sheets.

5. An intense, sweaty workout.

Yeah, so would I Eileen Davidson, but after that awesome workout you can treat yourself with a donut. Win-win situation right there.

6. Walking outside when it's still early enough that everything is still.

There is something so peaceful about being outside before the sun shines, birds chirp and humans awake.

7. Candles, candles and more candles.

Yankee Candle's Pink Sands is 'lit', no matter the time of year

8. Finding a dollar bill in your pocket.

*Look at me now, I'm getting paper.*

9. When someone calls you beautiful.

We pretend to be all shy, but this is how we really feel on the inside when someone calls you beautiful.

10. Driving with the windows down while the sun is setting.

Feels like such a music video moment.

11. A cup of coffee anytime, anywhere.

Same Lorelai, same.

12. Seeing sunshine fill a room as you open blinds or curtains.

It's guaranteed to be a good day when the sun hits your face.

13. When a friend's laugh is funnier than the joke.

I don't know why but this little thing is so satisfying.

14. The smell of a charcoal grill burning.

This explains summer in a nutshell, and who doesn't love summer?

15. Sitting around doing nothing with your friends, but loving every minute of it.

So many of my favorite memories are just sitting on the couch, not even talking to my friends, but just being in their presence is everything.

16. Throwing your heels off after a night out.

C'mon girls, you have to admit this is the highlight of your night out.

17. Getting your hair washed at a salon.

This baby's face depicts how it feels to get your hair washed exactly.

18. Hearing a baby laugh.

And if you're the reason the baby laughed, even better.

19. Changing into sweatpants.

20. Snuggling with your dog.

This was an obligatory post for all you dog lovers.

21. Listening to stories about your parents or grandparents when they were younger.

"Back in my day..."

22. Getting complimented on an outfit.

These kind of people are the best people.

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.
