Can't tame the mane? Neither can I.

11 Struggles Girls With Curls Can Understand
Hello Giggles

Coming from a girl who has been blessed with a head full of curls, I can safely say that I have learned the ins and outs of the game, as well as the struggles that every girl with curls will understand. For those that have mastered the art of controlling your curls, kudos to you; you deserve an award. I still question if I will ever be able to truly tame the mane. But let's be real, my curls are my girls, and I love them so much...even if I consider chopping them all off every now and then.

1. Everyday is a humid day.

Simba, humidity is a HUGE matata!

2. The undeniable sore feeling in your arms after blow drying or straightening your hair

Seriously...who needs CrossFit?

3. Your tangles have tangles.

I have never related to any gif more than Mia Thermopolis getting her hair brushed in her pre-princess stage.

4. When someone asks to play in your hair, but you quickly refuse because you're scared of a) getting your hair torn from its roots and b) their fingers getting intricately intertwined with your curls.

5. There are no such things as short showers because your hair takes two or three wash/rinse cycles.

...and don't even get me started on the conditioner.

6. There is always that one curly strand that refuses to cooperate after straightening your hair.

7. Your hair takes up approximately 82 percent of your photos.

8. You may or may not have spent a small fortune on styling products.

9. Your hair is literally EVERYWHERE.

Who knew one girl could shed more hair than 12 dogs and 18 cats put together?

10. Going to bed with wet hair is a huge no-no.

11. Last, but not least, you are always held responsible for the clogged shower drain.

If I had a dollar for every rat resembling blob I pulled from a drain, I'd be one rich girl.

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.
