5 Simple Ways To Make Your Living Space A Little More Joyful

This past year has been a bit stressful on all of us. Being stuck at home isn't always the best. Being in the same house all day can be super draining. It can cause us to not enjoy the four walls we're surrounded by each day. During such a tumultuous time, it's important that we try to make the best out of it. Designing a better environment for yourself is an effective way to lighten up your life and create a more positive well-being. These small and big changes can really change your home's vibe and are all worth the try!

1. Play some tunes.

If you're anything like me, music is one the best ways to lighten up the mood. Having some music play throughout the house or just in your own room can enchant your mind. Investing in a speaker or even a record player for your home is the perfect added touch.

2. Get cozy.

Lately, one of my favorite things have just been getting comfy. Wear cozy clothes, pull out a blanket and drape it on your sofa, get some cute pillows, light your favorite candles, pull out some books, or make tea or coffee. The idea is to keep yourself feeling soft, comfortable, and warm.

3. Add a pop of color.

Adding some color to your home can create more of a feel-good vibe. This can be achieved with a colorful rug, a bright bouquet of flowers, or even a fun piece of wall art. It can change the way the room looks and is a good way to add your own personal touch. A colorful spectrum indicates colorful energy.

4. Display artwork.

This one kind of goes with adding color to your home. Displaying artwork throughout your home allows you show some creativity. Whether you buy it or make it yourself, putting up some paintings cab lighten up the room.

5. Deep clean.

Nothing is more de-stressing than a clean home. Cleaning your living space is one of the most effective ways to bring more joy into your home. I know cleaning isn't the most enjoyable thing, but the rewarding feeling after is so worth it. After a nice deep clean, you will bring forth fresh energy and clarity.

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.
