I spent a week in Washington D.C. and found the best spots for Instagram posts. There are plenty more than 11, but these are some of my favorites. Our nation's capital has some of the most beautiful spots to visit and it would be a shame not to capture the beauty! Enjoy your time in D.C. and take plenty of photos!

1. Georgetown

The streets are lined with perfectly stacked houses, which make for the best backdrops for your Instagram feed. Georgetown has the cutest shops and a desirable college town feel.

2. The Wharf

The Wharf has to be the best sunset spot in all of Washington D.C. Enjoy a dinner by the water and let golden hour bless your feed!

3. The Potomac River

Grab a Cupcake from Baked & Wired and sit along the Potomac! Stone steps lead to the edge of the water and you can watch all of the cute little ducks floating along.

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.

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.
