6. Sevenly:

Each week Sevenly represents a new foundation or charity and $7 of each item purchased is donated to that charity. Check them out: https://www.sevenly.org/

7. Out Of Print:

This company sells shirts with books printed on the front and for each shirt purchase they will donate a book to a child in Africa. Check them out: http://www.outofprintclothing.com/

It's time to stop promoting multi-million dollar companies that aren't really giving back. Buy more than clothes and accessories, buy items that matter. Every purchase counts.

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.

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.
