9 Benefits of Going to the Beach
Visit Myrtle Beach

Being from Long Island, going to the beach has been a stable in my life for as long as I can remember. After going as much as I have, I have learned that there are many benefits of going to the beach! It is truly the most magical place on earth, and here is why!

1. It relieves stress.

Being at the beach helps relieves stress by helping you relax and unplug. More often then not there is terrible cell service, so forget about the worries of the outside world and simply enjoy the sand between your toes and the crashing ocean waves!

2. Sand Exfoliates The Skin.

My mother always told me sand was a natural exfoliate and man she was right! Your skin will feel beautiful and soft, once you rinse off of course!

4. Exercise!

Do you ever just go to the beach to lay down? No! This is a great way to get out and get exercise!


5. Sleep better.

The breezy air actually helps to regulate our serotonin levels which cause us to have a better night sleep!


6. Release Toxins.

The seawater has been proven to help rid the body of harmful toxins as well as stop the growth of fungus!


7. Boost Your Mood.

A nice swim in the ocean is bound to boost your mood, and continuous use is also helpful in curing depression.


8. Heal Your Cuts.

Seawater helps you heal your cuts faster and helps clear them of any bacteria!


9. Clean Hair.

Seawater is a magical little potion. Not only does it help heal cuts but it also acts as a natural shampoo, which is why your hair feels so dry after coming out!


What are you waiting for? Run to your closest beach! You'll see for yourself just how amazing it is!

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.
