How To Be An Everyday Queen

Unfortunately, you most likely don't have a secret grandmother who is queen of a small country and who will find you and tell you your next in line for the thrown like Mia from The Princess Diaries. However, you can still be a queen. Being royalty is a state of mind, and these are a few things you can do to be an everyday queen without having to actually rule a country.

1. Wear an invisible crown

We've all seen the scenes in movies where the princesses balance books on their heads to perfect the perfect posture. Now, you definitely don't need to balance books to get a royal looking stance, just simply remember to stand tall and confident. Wear an invisible crown and don't let it fall.

2. Perfect your strut

Having a good walk is super important for being a queen as it shows your confidence and power. Whether your strutting down the isles of the grocery store or walking in front of a group of people to give a speech, having a powerful walk will show them all that you are there to conquer whatever is ahead.

Here are a few steps to guide you in the learning process

Murder that grocery list and those pre-presentation jitters. Walk in and slay it.

3. Perfect your wave

Now that you've got your walk down, its time to work on a wave. Remember this important tip, elbow elbow wrist wrist. Now when you see people you know you can give them that royal wave as you strut on by.

4. Do things with grace

Because even if you are mattress surfing down a grand staircase you can still do it with grace like Queen Renaldi of Genovia. To truly be a queen, do everything, even your everyday tasks with confidence and optimism and your gracefulness will shine.

5. Fight for what you believe in

The biggest aspect of being a queen is fighting for what is right for your country. While you aren't making decisions for an entire country, you are controlling your life. Being an everyday queen means that you have the power to fight for what you believe in in your own life. No, you don't have a country to rule but you do have your life, and that in itself is of the upmost importance.

You have the posture, the attitude, the walk, and the wave. Maybe you don't have a country to rule or the fancy dresses and the crown. But you have the fight in you to be a true queen every single day and to inspire others to be kind, couragous, and queens of their own lives too.

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.
