What to Buy and What Not to Buy

To splurge:

1. Undies

I mean who doesn't love a good pair of Victoria's Secret undies? Especially when they're seven for $27 and it’s a seasonal underwear sale? New 'undies' is basically setting yourself up for world domination.

2. Froyo

Honestly, it’s trendy and cute and better for you than ice cream, but it taste like ice cream. Also it can be served as a meal?

3. Mascara

No feeling in the world compares dipping a flawless clumpy-free mascara brush into black magic that makes your eyes stand out so boys fall in love with you batting your long lashes.

4. Manicures

“Any woman can wear a great outfit but it’s her nails that make the statement.” - Tammy Taylor. Enough said.

5. Jeans

That really adorable pair of jeans that you slip on and envision yourself in every top you own running through a meadow in slow motion with music playing in the background, yep... that's the pair for you. Buy them! It won’t be just yourself who thanks you later, it’ll be everyone behind you too.


6. Concert Tickets

Concerts are interactive and can be easily turned into a full day commitment. And you know what they say, "People who spend money on experiences report to be happier versus people who spend money on objects."



Not To Splurge:

1. Food

Seriously, there's food at home. Also that’s what boys are for, buying you food... duh!


2. Movie Tickets

Who wants to pay $10 to sit in a dark room for two hours and watch a movie that everyone knows will come out in a few more weeks for a dollar? Or even better, on Netflix, which means you don’t have to leave your bed!


3. Salon Hair Products

Okay, really? Ever heard of Pinterest homemade hair-masks and dry shampoo? Good, because same here.

4. That Million Dollar Bikini that you just have to have

That bikini is going to get wet anyway! And you’re young- you’ll look good in anything.


5. Lip Products

Lipstick is lipstick is lipstick is lipstick. There are so many drugstore look-a-likes to all of the expensive designer ones. Do not spend $30. *Unless it is Kylie’s Lip Kit, that stuff is holy.*

6. Sunglasses

Why drop hundreds on pricey sunglasses when we all know that you’re probably going to drop them or lose them or worse: change your mind. $20 and under sale glasses from Nordstrom Rack will soon turn into your High School sweet-heart.

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.
