Goodbye to the Gaines Family

As you may or may not know, Fixer Upper, along with the rest of the HGTV roundup have been removed from Netflix. While it's unclear whether the shows will ever pop back up on our feeds, here are a few more to get you a 'Chip and Jo' fix without the dream team themselves.

1. The Great British Baking Show, or Great British Bake Off

TGBBS (also referred to as GBBO) offers a light-hearted end-of-your-day alternative to the HGTV shows we all love. Even if you're not a foodie, you'll love the low-stress feeling of this cheery little tent competition, set in the English countryside. Mary Berry, the sweet pastry expert judge, will win you over (and you might find yourself wishing that she was your grandmother). Paul Hollywood, the bread baker extraordinaire, seems a bit like a kinder Simon Cowell (perhaps with better hair, but the same high expectations).

2. Small is Beautiful

This tiny house documentary is almost enough to quench your desire for the gorgeous transformations of Fixer Upper. Watch as the most is made of every nook and cranny in the construction of this beautiful little tiny house.

3. New Girl

Look no further for the same kooky humor than Chip Gaines offers his show. New Girl has about 4 'Chips' in the form of Jessica Day's roommates, played by Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Damon Wayans Jr. The boys, each in their own unique style, poke fun at each other and their friends, rarely having a serious moment. Sound familiar?

4. Secrets of Great British Castles

If House Hunters: International is your cup of tea, this look at Britain's oldest and prettiest buildings (and their risky histories) may just do the trick. The host will take you through some of these gorgeous estates and fortresses and details interesting factoids about their constructions of histories.

Whichever of these shows catch your eye, you're sure to be in for a good Netflix fix, even without our beloved Gaines family!

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.
