I recently got a Fitbit. I got it because I wanted to have a healthier lifestyle. I am already in love with mine and it has amazing features. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Sleep tracker

This is my favorite feature. You can wear your Fit bit to sleep and it tracks your movement. It tells you how many times you were restless and awake, and even tells you down to the exact minutes. I knew I would wake up a lot at night, and this feature helps me track it. It's definitely interesting to see your sleep patterns!

2. Vibrates for texts and calls

If you don't want this you don't have to use it. It's an option that you can switch on and off. I personally think it's useful. When I get a text or a call, my Fitbit vibrates on my wrist. I find this particularly useful when I am in class or doing homework because I will only check my phone when I feel the vibrate. I don't find the need to keep checking my phone to see if someone has texted me back.

3. Reminds you to move

This, like the vibrate for texts and calls, is a feature you can switch on and off. You can customize how many times you want it to remind you a day. For me, I have it set if I haven't done 250 steps an hour, it will vibrate before the next hour.

4. Water/food intake

There's a Fitbit app, which is how you sync your wristband and data, which is free. On the app, there are options to add the amount of water you drink daily as well as food. For food, you can search food types and it will tell you the calories, or you can scan your food box with the barcode scanner.

I love the Fitbit, it has helped me become healthier and more aware of my health. The app is wonderful and can house all your information in one app, instead of one for steps, another one for food intake, etc.

I have the style called: Flex 2. They have several design options, with and without a screen and even multiple colors!

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.
