Hey Miss Canada, Why Did You Gain Weight?

Siera Bearchell, the reigning Miss Canada 2016 (who recently ran for Miss Universe), has a lot to say about body shaming. Believe it or not, a reporter asked her how it felt to be so much.. larger than the other candidates.

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.

First of all, why in the world would anyone ask that question? Why do people think it's okay to openly body shame somebody to their face? Not to mention, someone who is constantly scrutinized for her looks, because that's what judges see on stage? Personally, I think this woman is beyond beautiful. She doesn't look heavy, she looks normal. Healthy! Not saying I have anything against any other candidates, because they all work very hard to be lean and fit for their pageants.

Second of all, this woman is a runner, a law student, and co-owner of an apparel company. This girl definitely deserves a donut every once in awhile.

I don't see anything wrong with the way Siera Bearchell looks. I think she is stunning, and a total badass for standing up for herself and women of all shapes and sizes.

Quite frankly, I would've given that reporter the finger.. but obviously she has more class than I do. I am so glad that she didn't let that comment affect her. Siera is a role model for girls and women everywhere, and thankfully she has enough confidence in herself to spread the world about self-love and body positivity.

You go girl.

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.
