Bumble, Babes, and BFFs

Welcome to 2016 where there are more dating apps than you could possibly need. Whether you actively utilize dating apps or simply spend your Sunday afternoons swiping left and right for entertainment, I have a game changer for you.

If you haven't heard of Bumble, head over to the app store and prepare yourself for some quality dating. Although I am currently in a relationship, back in December 2014 when I first downloaded the app I was super impressed with the fact that the dating pool was more in my demographic than Tinder. Tinder started becoming a little overwhelming for me. When I would match with people it gave them the green light to say whatever crude, rude, or awkward pick up line guys were testing. With Bumble, the woman gets to start the conversation. In fact she has to for any matches to progress. If you follow my articles, one of them was about being a feminist. I think it's awesome that there's a dating app that empowers women to make the first move and the guys love it! Because it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there. Especially when you have girls like me writing about your awful pick up lines. I found that the men on Bumble were more educated, had very interesting careers, and let's not forget, more attractive. Looks aren't everything but on a dating app where you swipe left or right based on photos, sorry, but looks matter!

Let's talk about the CEO because her story is a game changer in itself. Whitney was one of the co- Founders at Tinder. After a break up with a fellow co-founder, she sued Tinder for sexual harassment. Nothing says I'm over you like a rumored $1 million settlement and a revolutionary woman powered dating app; Bumble.

Bumble's latest development, Bumble BFF. Now Bumble matches you with girls seeking girls for the ultimate BFF. Don't worry gentlemen, you get to find your bromance too. If you live in a big new city this app feature is a game changer. My first 6 months in LA were my hardest and I wish this app was around. Now you can match with friends who work in your industry, share similar hobbies, and find out people who live around you. Travelers tip; it's a great app for exploring any new areas you may be visiting.

If you're open to stepping up your dating game or looking to enter the friend zone I highly recommend you check out Bumble!

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.
