Health Benefits Of Lemon Water

A lemon slice is usually a popular choice with water when dining at a restaurant -- but what people don't know is how beneficial lemons can be!

People spend boat loads of money on expensive detox drinks, weight loss pills and elixirs made to supposedly rejuvenate their complexions -- but what if there was one thing that could help replace the work of all three?? Well, the answer to that is: Lemon water. That's right. Lemon water has just about every great benefit that you'd ever want.

Detox and digestion.

Lemon water helps stimulate the liver into releasing toxins as well as aiding in digestion and relieving an upset stomach.

Increase in Vitamin C.

Since our bodies don't make vitamin C on their own, it's important to ingest an appropriate amount from foods and drinks. Lucky for us, lemons are full of vitamin C. So, we're able to have better immune systems and keep flu/colds away.

Rejuvenates skin.

Aside from helping us keep a strong immune system, the vitamin C we get from lemons also helps the body produce collagen -- keeping us wrinkle free!

Weight loss.

Sipping on lemon water throughout the day can actually aid in weight loss because lemons contain pectin -- a fiber that helps one feel full longer -- so you'll tend to eat less junk food and be mindful of what foods you should eat.

Hope these are reasons enough for you to change your daily habits and fix yourself a nice, refreshing glass of lemon water!

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.
