Spring Break is too close to count, and if you are going to a tropical destination you may be freaking out. The beach body that you may or may not have had in the summer is long gone. Between the holidays and the cold weather, it might need a little work to get back in shape. But warmer weather is on it's way. So, here are some helpful tips to eat and be a little healthier before spring break and the warmer weather hits.

1. Grab a bunch of friends

Friend and family support is very important, they will help you stick to your goals. Also, encourage them to be apart of their healthy habits. Push each other and keep on going.

2. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks

Now it's a bad idea to completely go cold turkey on some of your guilty pleasures, but keep track of how much sugary foods and drinks you consume. Those high sugar foods might taste good, but they won't feel good after a workout.

3. Keep hydrated

This is probably the number one thing most people don't do, is drink enough water. Yes you might have to use the bathroom every 15 minutes, but drinking enough water will help with skin elasticity, memory functions, and body temperature control.

4. Eat fiber

Fiber generally has a stigma to it about how it makes you go to the bathroom, but just remember it is essential to keep a healthy body weight. But there are so many positives, it can lower cholesterol, controls blood sugar levels and it's in most natural foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and grains.

5. Never Grocery Shop when you are hungry

This is really dangerous and you will find yourself going down the aisles like the salty and sweet filled ones. Make a list of all the foods you need and grab them and go.

6. Start a workout routine

Humans like to have a routine, so develop one for your workout and stick to it. Eating healthy will keep your energy high and you will get to the gym on days where you didn't think you could after a stressful day at work/school.

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.
