Don't Neglect The 99-Cent Tacos

Not every meal can be steak and rock lobster.

Don't Neglect The 99-Cent Tacos

I've wrote a bunch about how our culture has rapidly changed, from when even I was a child (and I was born in 95!). I'm really not trying to sound like some grumpy old man at the park playing chess but, our culture, thanks to different beliefs and tons of innovations and advancements in technology, has made leaps and bounds in many directions that we could have never for saw.

And EVERYONE has their personal opinions/beliefs/etc. of how far we strayed, what we are doing wrong, and the like. I'm no different. But today, with all that I just said, I want to ask you a serious question:

Do you like Jack in the Box Tacos?

I'm very happily married, so please don't misunderstand the example that I'm about to use. If I wasn't married, and I decided to use a dating app (such as Tinder or something), in my bio would be a mandatory agreement that the girl I was looking for HAD to love Tacos from Jack in the Box. Thankfully, I've converted my wife to the true religion of greasy, fast food Tacos from an American-style restaurant?

If you don't know what I'm talking about (I'm weeping for you currently), let me try to explain: 2, brown and greased soaked shells, literally dripping with liquid (I have no idea what...), stuffed with brownish-green lettuce, a SLICE of American cheese, Taco sauce, and meat (If... we can call it that?). Literally, it's like processed, slimy, meat. I'm not lying. And neither is Jack in the Box. They are totally okay with it.

But, you see, maybe that's how we need to be in life? Stay with me please, even those of you who are physically repulsed. People have this sense of having to "put on a face" for other people (the funny thing is most of the people that we have to look good for, we don't even like personally!). We have to look all pristine and pretty. Don't ever show that you are imperfect or aren't put all together. How many of you clean up your house before company comes over? Okay, I totally get that. But some people take it way too far and have to make it look like not a single soul lives there. Do you see what I'm saying?

At times, it's okay to be a 99 cent Taco. Sometimes, it's okay to eat a 99 cent Taco. People can take you or leave you; there doesn't have to be any faking. So, go ahead and let your grease shine for all to see.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
