Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you're probably heard of self-care.

If you don't know, it's all about treating yo' self and showing your soul and your body some well-deserved love.

Sometimes life gets hectic and we forget to keep ourselves in check. Even something as little as taking a bubble bath or doing a face mask counts as self-care. There are no rules to self-care, only that if something works for you, then keep doing it.

It's so nice to indulge every now and then, but why do we have to wait for a stressful situation to destress and relax? Why not make it a part of our weekly routine?

It's time to start #SelfCareSunday.

#SelfCareSunday is a movement to do just that, make self-care a part of our normal routine! Devote the entire day to pamper yourself, or just do something for an hour. Work out. Do your nails. Take a shower. Take a break from social media. Eat a cheat meal. Turn off your phone. The options are limitless.

Friendly reminder: Self-care is NOT selfish. With our lives becoming more hectic and interconnected than ever before, now is the time to slow down, unplug and detox from life. We as individuals HAVE to take this time to celebrate ourselves for all of the hard work we do so that we can continue to be inspiring, creative and hardworking.

Throughout history, it's always been about "work hard now and enjoy it later." I don't know about you, but I don't want to wake up at 80 and realize that I've had no fun and fulfillment in my life. I want to be able to enjoy what I can do while I'm still able to do it.

The key here is to do what makes YOU happy. This day is about YOU. It's time that we stand up and treat ourselves with the love and respect that we deserve.

So join me this Sunday and every Sunday after, to participate in #SelfCareSunday!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
