Go ahead, Cut your sweatshirt

It's just fabric, right?

Go ahead, Cut your sweatshirt

Clothes are fantastic because in all honesty, it’s just fabric. You can stretch it, shrink it, and quite easily, cut it. It is entirely customizable.

People before realized that if your clothes did have the umph that you wanted, you could cut it to add some extra flare. However now, people have moved from cutting t-shirts to cutting sweatshirts.

I was surprised myself when I heard it. I mean sweatshirts? Come on t-shirts are simple fabric, who cares if you mess it up when you cut it. But sweatshirts? Those are thicker, have more fabric, and are more expensive. I couldn’t imagine someone cutting a sweatshirt.

But alas, that day has come. Cropped sweatshirts are becoming one of fall’s newest trends. If not cropped then elastic/less sweatshirts. Well friends, you don’t need to buy these when you can DIY!

All you need is a sweatshirt and some scissors. Literally that’s it. Probably the easiest DIY you have ever done.

If you want to spice it up some more, you can do some more cutting. Cut a V neckline and poke holes along the edges. Make sure to flip the sweatshirt inside out and iron the edges to create a smooth edge. Using some shoelace, create a crisscross pattern.

Pair it with some jeans or leggings and you’re good to go. So go grab your scissors and get cropping!

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.
