8 Things Every Girl Needs To Remember About Her "Winter Body"
Inside Charlotte's Mind

Here are 8 things to keep in mind during this spring break and summer, especially if your body is not "bikini ready".... ever.


1. It's your body not anyone else's. Who cares if other people look at you for being different?

Everyone eats. Some people just have a harder time working off that winter weight before bikini season!

2. Don't be the kid with a T-Shirt on because you feel insecure.


Many bathing suits have awesome one piece options and skirts to help with that.

3. Don't feel obligated not to eat while you are out in your swim suit.


Eating food while in a swim suit does not make you look bigger or gluttonous. Refer to number 1.

4. Rock a bikini.


So many awesome brands have made full figures sensitive two pieces! Just because you're a little extra fluffy doesn't give you an excuse to wear a one piece. Refer to number 1.

5. Stay confident.


As Ru Paul always says "if you can't love yourself, then how the hell you gonna love somebody else...." You are beautiful in the skin you were given be sure to show it! Why hide behind a TShirt and swim trucks when you can enjoy the rays and freedom. It should not be anyone else's judgment on what you can and can not wear to the beach!

6. You are not alone.


You know how many people feel the same way about their bodies!?!? Even people who have flat tummies feel conscience sometimes! Don't worry we all secretly feel the same way on the inside.

7. Don't feel discouraged because they're are "skinny" people around you in bikinis.


It is not what you carry it's how you carry it!

8. If your body is stuck in winter mode it's no big deal.


...that's everyone's favorite time of the year anyways!

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.
