Desert Island Games, Episode 3: Books.

Works as a great source of entertainment, but also as a great fire starter if need be.

Along with my makeup, and my movies, I have room in my bag for books as well! And when the cable is out, and I have a full face of makeup on, I might as well read a book. Waiting on my food to cook? Read a book.

1. Flowers in the Attic.

Preferably, I would like to take the entire series. But if I had to choose just one of them to take with me, this would be the one.

2. The Sun and Her Flowers.

Who doesn't love a good poetry book, and especially the work of Rupi Kaur? If you're ever feeling a little lonely and heartbroken on the island, this is the perfect read.

3. The Sun Also Rises.

I personally really, really, love Ernest Hemingway, and I feel like this book is one I would never get tired of reading. After all, who knows how long I'll be on the deserted island for.

4. Fifty Shades of Grey. The Trilogy.

Don't diss this choice until you have read them yourself. I'm not taking them for the erotic side of these books - it simply is a GREAT plot and a very interesting story. It is different from other books around when it was released. It is not the typical 'girl loves a boy but the boy loves another girl' love story, and I'm here for it.

5. You Are A Badass.

This needs no explanation. If I'm ever feeling a little discouraged on the island, my shelter fell apart, my fire won't start, etc. I'll just pick this bad boy up and have a read.

6. Mr. Mercedes

Because, again, if you've ever read this - you know why I'm taking this. If you're a Stephen King lover - you know why I'm taking this. I love this book, I love Stephen King, I love the plot, I love the idea, I love it all.

7. The Da Vinci Code.

"I would take the Da Vinci Code, so that I could burn the Da Vinci Code." Sorry, I had to. You either get it or you don't.

Stay tuned for my next episode of Desert Island Games.

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.
