5 Pleasurable Things I Got From Watching Fifty Shades of Grey

It’s no secret that Fifty Shades of Grey has attracted a lot of attention over the past few years when the book was first released, and now of course, over the past few weeks with the movie out in theaters. There has also been a lot of controversy surrounding the movie, which honestly drew me in more. But I don’t see why people see this movie in such a bad light ... after all, it’s just a story about fantasies. And sure, the theme of the series is supposed to be as sexy as possible, what with all the whips and chains and fantasy-fulfilling role play, but the things I enjoyed most had nothing to do with what the story is actually about.


  • 1. I think I enjoyed the helicopter ride around Seattle at night a little too much –– so much that I considered staying single until I could meet a millionaire boyfriend in Washington. The lights, the buildings, it was all so romantic, and I also wouldn’t mind my pilot being hot boyfriend who can turn me on just by fastening my seatbelt for me.
  • 2. The scene of the two of them dancing to Frank Sinatra in Christian Grey’s beautiful home. This was a nice human moment, yet still so fancy and classy because, well, that’s just how it is when you listen to Frank. The man knows how to dance, too, which is never a bad quality.
  • 3. The soundtrack to the movie was so on point that it made the whole movie. Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do was gold, and is definitely one of the best love songs of this century. Of course, this played during my favorite helicopter scene as well, so the two best things about the movie just go hand-in-hand.
  • 4. The *SECOND* helicopter ride. During the surprise ride Christian takes Anastasia on, just because he missed her while she was back home with her mom. In the beginning of this scene, he also goes up to the pilot and shocks her by introducing her as his girlfriend, which lets face it –– is all a girl really wants anyways ... all helicopters aside.
  • 5. Christian’s piano playing. Playing music is probably one of the most romantic things a guy could do –– except, if I was Anastasia personally, I would get a little annoyed after a while that he decides to play after she has fallen asleep.

Sure, some people will be heading towards theaters to see the film for the kinky sex scenes, but getting beaten just isn’t for me. Planes, fast cars, and pianos aren’t really for me either, but if I could find a guy who takes me out every once in a while and dances with me to Frank Sinatra, then I’m sold (as long as he doesn’t have a secret torture — I’m sorry, “play room”). And ladies, our Christian Grey is out there somewhere, and especially easy to find if you look for those little "dancing in the living room together" moments over the ridiculous millions of dollars he may be worth.

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.
