7 Things You Should Try Before You Judge 'Em

Let's be honest. Every single one of us has tried something that we previously thought was going to be terrible... and loved it. For some reason we are quick to judge certain foods, events, styles, people... the list can go on an on. I have compiled a short list of some things that I think people judge before they give them a chance. Hopefully you will look at these in a new light.

No. 1: Tofu

I know, I know... of course the vegan uses tofu as her first example... however, have you ever actually tried it? And if you have, have you tried it pressed, pan fried, and crispy, dripping with yummy sauce? I don't think so. So don't judge.


No. 2: Opera

Did you know that there are different types of opera? And they are not all in a foreign language too! Opera is not just a bunch of older women singing super high... it can be funny and passionate and full of adventure. Give it a try!


No. 3: Podcasts



Ok, so maybe you don't judge podcasts, but do you listen to them? Because they can be sweet. If you like being told a story, or learning really odd stuff, or listening to people talk, these are for you.


No. 4: Tattoos


I'm not asking you to like tattoo's, I'm just asking you not to judge them. Some people have them for really awesome and powerful reasons. And yes, this picture is of my tattoo.

No. 5: Contra Dancing

What is contra dancing? Well, I'm glad you asked! For a really great detailed description check out this link. In short, it's called dancing to live music. It's easy to judge... but don't.


No. 6: Food Blogs


Wether or not you like to cook, food blogs are fun to explore. Check out these awesome one's: Budgetbytes, Hell Yeah It's Vegan, Thug Kitchen (warning... this has some language...) and Minimalist Baker.


No. 7: People

Yeah, this is cliche, but probably the one that matters the most. I truly wonder what would happen if for one day we could put aside our judgments and see people for who they are.

Judge tenderly, if you must. There is usually a side you have not heard, a story you know nothing about, and a battle waged that you are not having to fight.” – Traci Lea LaRussa

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
