Finally, fall season is upon us and summer bods aren't something everyone is scramble to achieve anymore. Time for warm cookies, candy, and chocolate hot coco. Those are all the great things, but what about the cons? Well, eventually there will be cold weather, snow and Cold weather, and storms that trap you in your home. With all those cookies, and days of relaxing on the couch, you might want to consider some easy work ab outs you can do at home.

1. Flutter kicks

 

All you need to do it lay on the ground, hands at your side and raise your legs up and down, getting as close to the ground as possible without touching.

2. Reaching Oblique Crunch

 

For this exercise, lay on the ground with your knees bent, and reach your arms across your body. The left arm reaching to the right side and right arm reaches to the left side.

3. Pilates Side Hip Rises

  

Turn on your side and bend your knees, use one arm to hold yourself up. Move your hip up and down. Your other arm should be at your hip.

4. Russian Twist

 

Sit at a 45-degree angle with your knees bend and twist your upper body from side to side, with both arms at your side.

5. Toe Touch Crunches

 

This one is a personal favorite. It's easy and fun. For this exercise, all you need to do is lay on the ground with your feet in the air and reach up for your toes.

6. Pilates Leg Pulls Facing Down

 

This exercise gets a little bit harder because you're not laying on the ground, your butts up in the air. Get in somewhat of a push- up position but with your butt in the air. Raise each leg, one at a time up in the air.

7. Pilates Toe Taps

 

This is also another exercise I really enjoy. You lay on your back, knees bent and touch your toes to the floor.

More visual representations of these work outs can be found in this  Youtube video It might be useful to pick up a yoga mat at the store, which you can find at Amazon for about $6. It isn't necessary, but it is helpful if you don't have a carpet. When you find yourself trapped inside on a Sunday afternoon, and after you eat all those cookies, consider a few easy work outs you can do in your room.

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.
