Here's Why Summer Vacations Are Healthy

It is definitely not the diet.

Here's Why Summer Vacations Are Healthy

When you think of summer vacation you may see many different images in your head. Golden beaches, crystal blue oceans, bright green palm leaves swaying in the wind... Maybe you think of roller coasters and dinner shows. It doesn't matter because whatever vacation we see in our minds is our own that makes us happy and carefree. That is what is so beautiful and healthy about summer vacations.

With being able to get away for a few days, a week, two weeks or more, it is the pure fact that for a while we do not have to worry about the troubles of today and the worries of tomorrow. For a little while we can just do as we please without following a strict day to day schedule. You don't need to worry about that one boss you could live your life without knowing. You don't need to be constantly worried about what time you need to be at work or whether or not you should make that doctors appointment. For once you can just breathe fresh air and be yourself.

It's even better when we are able to enjoy these vacations with family. Perhaps even your friends as well! Nothing is better than being in an entertaining setting with your family and friends. To see the happy smile overcome their features and the light in their eyes brighten is something that I promise you is worth looking at. Vacations are not only healthy for our own wellbeing, but for others as well. We, ourselves, know what we are going through on a daily basis, but when you are surrounded with your family and friends, helping them see a happy day it changes everything. You are glad you took this vacation not only for yourself, but for others as well.

Every family has that one vacation spot they go to every year or maybe every other year. That spot is considered your second home and you don't know what you would do without it. You sip away on your ice cold lime margarita while you are there or maybe you dig in to your favorite Mexican cuisine. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is your there because the perfect season has finally come around where you can relax and ignore every call and text that you receive through your cellphone.

Your mind has escaped to an entirely different universe all while being on the same planet as every other human in the world. That is what is so beautiful about summer vacations. We are able to put ourselves into what seems to be another dimension due to being able to book that vacation far away from where you live. It is beautiful and serene and is good for the soul. I hope everyone gets the chance to experience this tremendous feeling and is as addicted to it as an artist is to painting.

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.
