Clean Up Your Room!

Clean Up Your Room!

Lets be honest, its about time that we cleaned up this mess. I am currently looking around at my (not as messy as last week) room and I can’t help but think of how much easier my life would be if it were clean. Though getting rid of a lot of stuff helped, it did not solve my problem. My problem is that I feel comfortable in my mess. I don’t feel at home until the space I am in has a bit of my mess in it. Coupled with the fact that I am too lazy to hang up my cloths, I constantly am living in a state of organized chaos. Now to any neat freak that is reading this, that terminology may seam like an oxymoron to you, but to my fellow messy people it makes perfect sense. We can be organized in our mess just as easily as you can lose items in your organized space. Its all a matter of connecting the dots. A messy person may even prove to be smarter then an organized person, merely because of the fact that we have to remember where we put everything. Most of the time we do! The rest of the time… Not so much. So my fellow packrats, it is time we rewire or brains to be organized. It is going to take some time, but I have faith in us (or am foolish enough to believe my own propaganda). A little mess is not a bad thing, it is actually a sign of creativity, but constant chaos is a bad thing. So start small and then tackle the rest. Start by throwing away all the trash and getting rid of everything that is holding you back. If you want to save stuff for your future children find a fun trunk or hope chest to keep it in. Then move on to hanging up the cloths that you wear the most and giving away the ones you rarely wear. Soon enough you will start to see the floor again. Cleaning up your room gives you more space to clean up and organize your life (as cheesy as that sounds), but you wont know until you try.

Get Your Life On Fleek

I have to be honest with you, I’m still not quite sure what fleek means. My best guess is that it means getting something right or perfect…. So I’m going off of that, so don’t sue me if I’m wrong please. My question is, why are so many girls worried about their eyebrows being on fleek when their lives are a mess?! Forgive me, but this needs to be said, leave your eyebrows alone, your life needs work! If you put all the time and effort into doing something good for yourself rather then on make up, you might just notice a change in your life. With the thirty minutes to an hour you waist on your make up you could be doing something that actually brings value to your life. For instance you can learn how to cook, read a good book, go to the gym, clean your room, walk the dog, do you homework on time (for once), call your mom (she will probably think something is wrong), or just take a moment to remember what an amazing person you are without the help of make up. I know, a lot of people are giving you crap these days about wearing make up. So Ill bring my little spiel to a close by saying this, true beauty comes with a pretty face and a beautiful spirit. Pretty is an accident of nature that is appealing to the eye, but a beautiful spirit is more beautiful then a sunrise and more valuable then all of Sephora.

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.
