Whether you're starting out a new semester, returning to work or just need some "me time," taking a nice, relaxing bath is the best way to decompress after a long day. Use these bath essentials to make the end of your day the best part!

1. Suction Cup

This neat plastic contraption covers the overflow drain in your bathtub, which means you can finally feel like you're in a relaxing soaker rather than a half-filled kitchen sink. Just place the suction cup over the drain and viola! Bath time is on!

2. Bath Bombs


First it was bath pearls, then it was bath salts, now it's bath bombs. Rather than spending ten dollars a pop on those "fancy" bath bombs from Lush, hit up your favorite online shops like Amazon and Etsy to get more fizz for your buck.

3. Wine

Wine + bath = relaxed. Really relaxed. Just remember to get out of the tub before you take your mid-wine nap.

4. Candles

Who doesn't feel relaxed when they walk into an over priced boutique? Harness the essence of Anthropologie with this favorite hipster candle and slip away into your bohemian dreams with hints of tropical fruits and sugared citrus.

5. Bath Pillow

The wall on the bathtub is hard and unsupportive. Grab this bath pillow and get comfortable for a long, relaxing bath that you won't want to leave.

6. Face Mask

Bath time isn't complete if you don't treat yo'self! Make sure you enhance your spa experience with a face mask that will wash away all the troubles of adulting once and for all.

7. Waterproof Speakers

No spa day is complete without the soothing voice of Michael Buble or nature sounds. Whether you like to pretend you're in the jazz age or a yoga class while you rinse the day away, make sure you do it in style with waterproof speakers rather than that red party cup you should have thrown away after beer pong was over Saturday night.

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.
