6 Signs A Tiny House might be Right For You.
HGTV

HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters” has brought to light the growing trend of tiny houses. Although Tiny Houses may seem unconventional to some, others can find their best lifestyle within five-hundred square feet and less. Are you meant to live in a tiny house? Here are six signs that the tiny house lifestyle might be right for you.

1. You’re frugal.



You don’t want to worry about buying a lot of furniture, paying for a lot of land, or high bills to heat your home; tiny houses can solve all of these problems. Within a tiny house, there is less space to heat, less room to furnish, and you can choose to have little land to plant your house on. You could even build your own!

2. You enjoy traveling.

The sound of a permanent residence scares you because you feel like you’ll lose out on visiting the Grand Canyon. Having a home on wheels would be cool because you could just drag your house along with you on your adventures. You wouldn’t need to cut the grass, deal with neighbors, or have any long-term commitments to anywhere.


3. You're introverted.


Introverts tend to be people who prefer to be alone more often than with a group of people. With a tiny house, you can’t really fit that many people in there comfortably, meaning you wouldn’t have to deal with as many people often. You can minimize the social world and maximize your me-time.

4. You don’t like to cook.

Because tiny houses are so tiny, kitchens are limited. If you don't like to cook, you won’t even care that the cooktop is a plugin and a mini fridge is all you have for the cold stuff.

5. You’re a minimalist.

You don’t mind wearing the same clothes everyday, surviving off of one pair of black leggings and a pair of blue jeans. You think an abundance is actually a waste, and less is more. For you, shopping is fun, but you may have buyer’s remorse when you start to feel like a hoarder. You’d rather limit yourself by living simply than having everything.

6. You desire less stress.

Being in a tiny house can give people the feeling of freedom. In a tiny house, cleaning, organizing, and living becomes something easy. It’s almost like you’re in your own little world.

With higher taxes and costs for living, it’s no surprise people are choosing tiny houses over typical homes. If you’re willing to cut back the tangibles, in exchange for more intangible experiences, a tiny house might be perfect for you.

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.
