If you are in a sorority, then chances are you've had an encounter with puffy paint. Every sorority has the girl who can create detailed art with only puffy paint, while anyone else using puffy paint creates a big blob of mess. Well here are a few tips for the beginner that can hopefully help you become your chapter's puffy paint guru.

1. Practice

You'd be seriously surprised how many beginners just go right for it. Relieve yourself of the stress and hair pulling and just practice puffy painting before you begin your project.

2. Keep the Pressure Even

To create even lines, keep the pressure even when squeezing the bottle. Another helpful tip, is to shake the bottle often to keep all the paint near the tip.

3. First Use Pencil

For beginners, it would be a lot easier to make your designs with pencil first and puffy paint over the line. Once you've had enough practice, you can start free handing.

4. Puffy Paint is easily removable

You can scrape it off or wash it off. If you make a mistake, it is easily removable so don't freak out!

5. DO NOT TOUCH

For the love of God, don't touch the puffy paint!! Give it at least a day or maybe two. Puffy paint takes a long time to dry and after all that hard work, you don't want to mess up your project!

Hopefully these tips have helped! Just remember to practice! and that Puffy paint goes on practically everything: glass, wood, felt, fabric, plastic etc... So craft on fellow puffy painters!

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.
