6 Reasons To Look Up To Audrey Hepburn
Vogue

Audrey Hepburn has always been remembered as just a pretty face, but she is so much more. Every girl should look up to Audrey Hepburn and here’s why:

1. She was an amazing actress.

From her role in the ever-famous "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," to "Roman Holiday" and "Charade," Audrey was sure to steal the show every time. Not to mention her Oscar-winning performance in "Sabrina."


2. She was an ambassador for UNICEF.

UNICEF provides long-term developmental assistance to mothers and children in developing countries. Audrey would travel to these countries to help out everyone in need.

3. She has her own children’s fund

Audrey’s son created a children’s fund to keep her effort of helping others live. It can be located at audreyhepburn.com.

4. Her sense of style compares to no other’s.

Her style will forever be one of class. From her little black dress to her ballet flats and oversized sunglasses, people still copy her style today without even knowing.

5. She was a good mother.

Unlike many actors and actresses today, Audrey stepped out of the spotlight once she had kids. She wanted them to grow up without the constant pressure of Hollywood.

6. She didn’t want to be like everyone else.

Audrey came about around the same time as Marilyn Monroe was very popular. Along with this came an ideal hourglass figure and revealing clothing, but young Audrey was quite the opposite.

So, next time you see something about Audrey Hepburn, remember that she wasn’t just a pretty face, but rather someone we should all look up to. And remember “happy girls, are the prettiest.”

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.
