30 Thoughts You Have While Buying Nail Polish

Nail polish. So many colors, shades, top coats, names and brands. If you're like me, you can't help but buy a new bottle of nail polish every time you past the cosmetic section at the store, even if the last thing you need is a new addition to your collection. But hey, it's not like you own that shade of blue that's just a little darker but a little lighter than the color that is currently on your nails. If you're obsessed with nail polish, don't worry; you're not the only one. I'm sure you've had some of these thoughts, if not all of them.

  1. I am definitely not going to walk past the nail polish aisle at Walmart.
  2. Everything I need is not even near that section.
  3. But I mean, I'll get to the pet department quicker if I go past the cosmetic section.
  4. It can't hurt to just browse.
  5. Oh, I like this one.
  6. But I already own like eight bottles of purple nail polish.
  7. This shade is called 'Royal Grape'.
  8. I definitely don't own 'Royal Grape'.
  9. It's similar to 'Infused Lilac' but it's a shade darker.
  10. Maybe even two shades darker.
  11. Since I don't own this color, I should probably buy it.
  12. It would match that really cute sweater I bought last week.
  13. Oh, does OPI have new shades of pink?
  14. You can never, ever, go wrong with pink.
  15. No, stop it. I pretty much own every shade of pink there is, in every brand there is.
  16. But what I don't own is that glitter top coat.
  17. Glitter and a clear coat all in one, don't mind if I do.
  18. WAIT. This glitter polish would look amazing with this periwinkle color.
  19. Now I have three bottles, that's an odd number.
  20. I'll pick out one more, even is always better.
  21. Hmmmm.....
  22. Let me just look at those pink polishes again.
  23. Should I splurge and buy this pink Essie one?
  24. I should.
  25. This 'Petal Pink' is the one.
  26. Wait, do I have nail polish remover?
  27. I should buy that too, just in case.
  28. Maybe a new nail filer, as well.
  29. I mean, I deserve to pamper myself after that test.
  30. Now, what did I actually come into this store for??

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.

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.
