1. Customers asking for something on the mannequin

“Can you take that shirt off the mannequin for me? And the jeans on the other one!”


2. Leaving your clothes in the dressing room

I’m not complaining about one or two shirts hung neatly on the hook. I’m referring to that mountain of clothes smushed against the corner of the fitting room. Do I look like your cleaning lady?


3. Window shopping

You know you’re not buying anything, I know you’re not buying anything, yet here you are messing up all the racks that I just fixed.


4. Coupon crazy customers

Listen, lady, this 10% off coupon expired in February; it’s JULY. So yes, I am serious when I said: “no, I'm sorry you can’t use this coupon.” Jeez.



5. A lot of returns

10 individual items, 6 separate receipts, and you paid for them with 3 different credit cards. Sure, no problem.


6. Last minute shoppers

Only five more minutes until the store closes and there’s still someone shopping. Put some pep in your step, I'm trying to go home!


7. Listening to the same music all day

There’s only so many times a day I can listen to “Closer” by the Chainsmokers without losing my mind.


8. Dealing with rude customers

Please tell me how it’s my fault that we don’t have that shirt in a medium anymore? Also, go speak to my manager all you want. The return policy says 2 weeks then it’s final sale, do you need your reading glasses?

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.
