When you are planning on going a on a fun vacation, that requires travel by plane, you want to pack efficiently. You do not want to be caught up with the extra fees or all of the lines that you have to deal with and the hassles of traveling. So these seven tips are sure to make sure your vacation goes seamlessly.

1. Plan your outfits before

We all know that when we are going on a vacation you want to look your absolute best, so plan ahead of time. You do not want to be wishing you brought that one outfit you left at home, or trying to figure out what you are wearing that day when you are supposed to be relaxed. Think of how many days you are going to be there and think of what kind of place you are going to, then plan accordingly. You will thank yourself later when it is a breeze to get dressed every day of your summer adventures.

2. Role all of your clothes

After you pick out which outfits you are wearing each day lay out what each outfit consists of and role them up together. It may sound very strange but it will save so much space and will really help you travel effortlessly.

3. Pack lightly

Nobody wishes they brought the two extra dresses or the three t-shirts on a vacation. You always pack more than you need to try to be mindful of what you are taking. This may be a struggle for some, but it can be achieved, just bring enough clothes for where you are going. You are not going to want to lug around extra clothing that takes up a lot of space when you are traveling. There are a lot of space factors that you have to remember while traveling, like remembering anything you are gonna pick up along the way.

4.Think travel time

Decide if you want to check a bag or go completely carry-on. It can be a challenge but it can be achieved. With expert packing techniques, it is defiantly possible to fit everything in a carry-on bag. It will not only save you money, but it will also save you tons of time. If you are traveling with no checked bags then you don't have to worry about loosing any luggage and you avoid the added time from waiting for your bag. This is also a very important thing to consider of you are going out of the country because going through customs and having to wait for your bag is a drag.

5. Bring a pair of shoes that go with everything

Shoes take up a lot of space, so narrow it down to one or two pairs that you know are comfortable and that go with the majority of your outfits. This is a great way to save space, especially while traveling on planes.

6. Earphones

Earphones are a must, whether you are going by car, train or plane, you are going to want to zone out and listen to music. It is a great way to relax during a long travel period.

7. Sunglasses

The best for last, if you forget your sunnies you are going to be regretting all of your life choices. Sunglasses are one of the most important things to pack with you while you are traveling, no matter what temperature the sun never goes away, and you will need to protect your eyes.

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.
