The word tequila either makes you do one of two things, puts a smile on your face from ear to ear, or instantly makes you cringe and gag just at the thought. Well, tequila lovers can rejoice, because tequila is actually really good for you!


  1. You can lose weight and drink at the same time! When people think about drinking, one of their majors concerns is gaining weight, ever heard of the freshmen fifteen! Everyone knows that beer and vodka is loaded with calories, but tequila actually contains components that promotes weight loss. Tequila also doesn't make you as bloated because it regulates the absorption of fat in your intestines.
  2. Hangovers no longer exist. Another major benefit of tequila is you don't get hungover! I mean who wants to wake up with a pounding headache and not be able to move! If you drink real 100 percent pure agave tequila, all your hangover nightmares will disappear.
  3. It numbs physical pain. Components in tequila help to dilate blood vessels, this helps blood flow better which in turn minimizes pain levels. Tequila is also a proven way to numb emotional pain as well!
  4. It lowers blood sugar levels. Agave is an ingredient in tequila, it's also a natural sugar that comes from the agave plant. Agave triggers insulin production in the body, which then lowers blood sugar levels. If you're a diabetic tequila is the perfect drink for you!
  5. It cleans your colon out.Researchers at Mexico's University of Guadalajara have claimed that blue agave found in tequila helps deliver drugs to the colon which helps to treat illnesses such as Crohns disease colitis, IBS and cancer.
  6. Tequila relaxes you. You don't need to take an excessive amount of shots for tequila to relax you. One or two shots will relax you, and helps you to sleep.

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.

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.
