6 Struggles Of Having Curly Hair

Your hair can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you treat it. Whether you have ringlets, spirals or waves, you know the curly hair struggle all too well.

1. It Has A Mind Of Its Own

Will you have a good hair day? Will you look like a poodle? Who knows.

2. You Shed

People are always pulling stray hairs off of your back, you find them all over your car, your apartment, and there's always the one tickling the back of your arm that you can never find. You shed so much you swear you could make a wig out of it.

3. Endless Products

Detangler, curl cream, defrizzing spray or lotion, leave in conditioner, argan or coconut oil, the list goes on and on.

4. Showering Takes Forever

Pre-shower combing, shampooing, conditioning and letting it sit for 5 minutes, combing again, sticking the stray hairs to the wall...rinsing, sticking more hair to the wall...it's an extensive process.

5. Straightening Is A Long Process

On the days you decide to straighten your hair, it takes so long that you're sweating and your arms are tired.

6. Good Hair Days Are A Blessing

When you look good, you feel good. When your hair decides to cooperate, you wouldn't trade it for anything.

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.
