Serengetee is a clothing company with a mission. Not a mission to make money, but a mission to support and improve communities around the world. Using fabrics from over 25 countries, Serengetee creates custom clothing, jewelry, hats, backpacks, bags, and more. By purchasing one of their products, you support one of the many artisans located throughout the world and improve their lives. This fast-growing philanthropic company donates 10 percent of their profits and is making a huge impact on the world. Here are five reasons why you should check out Serengetee the next time you feel like spending some money on new clothes.

1. Each purchase donates money to a specific cause.

Each fabric is purchased from local artisans. When you buy an item with a specific fabric, your purchase will directly help that artisan's community. The causes range from Pencils of Promise in America to a health center in Ghana. Some fabrics provide loans to women in African countries, others empower children to live full lives outside of sex trafficking. No matter which fabric you choose, you are supporting an incredible cause.

2. There are over 200 fabrics to choose from.

Each fabric is unique and beautiful -- you are guaranteed to fall in love with one. These fabrics come from places close to home, such as America and Canada, to places far from home, such as ZImbabwe, Brazil, and Nepal. The fabrics beautifully represent the communities they come from and will make you feel like you are wearing a piece of that country.

3. Each item is custom-made.

With over 200 fabrics, different shirt styles, and other products, the possibilities for your custom product are endless. Your purchase will be one-of-a-kind. You can get a fabric from Japan on a white tank top or a fabric from Ghana on a blue crew-neck. There are so many options that you'll have to keep going back for more.

4. Your purchase will improve the lives of local artisans and their communities.

These communities are located all over the world. From the USA and Canada to Central America, from Asia to Africa and the South Pacific, Serengetee represents the world. The Solola fabric from Guatemala supports Mayan Families, which improves lives for impoverished families around Lake Atitlan. The Byasi fabric supports All Hands, which sends volunteers to areas in Nepal that were affected by the earthquake. The Azaza fabric supports Obaatan Pa, which provides care for Ghanian women. There are over 197 other fabrics and even more causes that Serengetee supports. Serengetee has made a positive impact on all of these communities and you can become a part of it by supporting their company.

5. You'll love the products so much you won't be able to choose just one fabric or just one shirt.

As a typical American girl, I know that most of my clothing is made in other countries. But that doesn't mean my clothing is of other countries. Serengetee products are not only made in other countries, but represent those countries' unique cultures. I love my Serengetee shirt because part of the fabric is like a little piece of Japan that I can wear. Wear a shirt from Serengetee, and you're wearing a piece of the world.

Wear the world. Change the world.

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.
