The past few years, young women's Instagram feeds have been flooded with images of these "perfect" women. Long hair, huge lips, ribs showing. Every body is different and everybody is beautiful but so many women feel pressured by these beauty standards.

Lip injections are all the rage now and you can't log onto social media without seeing a Sugar Bear Hair Promotion. These influencers are true to their title, they influence young girls to change their appearance, often using unhealthy methods.

However, a new wave of influencers have sprung up on Instagram. Two words: Fitness Bloggers. These men and women are taking to the photo/video sharing app to promote weight lifting, cardio, and clean diets.

Whitney Simmons is one of the most popular of these bloggers. She shares her daily workout routines with her followers in a video format. She posts videos focusing on specific muscle groups each day (leg day, abs, etc).

Simmons and other fitness bloggers take the idea of the perfect body to a new and healthy level. They push planned workouts and healthy eating instead of crash diets and miracle teas.

My explore page has been filled with these strong young women and their gym routines. From cable kicks to HITT cardio I've learned so many fun workouts from their accounts. Some of my favorites include Linn Jacobsson, Hanna Öberg, and Sarah Stevenson (Sarah's Day on social media).

Simmons consistently encourages body positivity, pointing out ot her followers that it has taken years to achieve the level of fitness that she's at. Her message is about having a healthy body as opposed to simply having a "hot" body.

Everyone has a different body. Some people are skinny, some people have huge butts, some people have huge lips. These fitness bloggers have the power in their hands to teach young women and men the importance of being the HEALTHIEST version of yourself.

Your body will change through out your life depending on the lifestyle you choose. It's important to find eating habits and work out routines that work for you. Fitness bloggers show varieties of lifestyle choices that are easily adaptable and can help you discover your full potential.

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.
