5 Days Is All It Takes

YouTube

I am a YouTube junkie. Going on YouTube and staying update to date on all my favorite channels everyday is a very fulfilling habit of mines that I love. The best part about it is when you discover new videos to watch. One of my most recent finds happened about two weeks ago during one of my boring Friday nights as I was skimming through Refinery 29's channel (which is awesome by the way, so definitely check that out as well). On their channel, I've discovered their original YouTube series, Try Living with Lucie and I love it. Refinery 29's lifestyle host and associate producer, Lucie Fink, takes on social experiments within 5 days. She is willing try anything from veganism, living off a $50 budget (in New York, crazy), going without her cell phone, meditation and so on to see what she learns from it at the end. This series is a prime example of showing how you need to try something at least once before saying no to it because you'll never know, you might just get hooked. After watching the series, you will definitely get a strong urge to try at least one of these experiments.

Is being vegan really as difficult as people make it seem?

I've attempted to trying to wake up at 8am everyday just to do it during Spring Break. Didn't really work out too well.

Meditation is right up my alley.

Coconut oil is life.

10 hours of sleep is a distant dream to me. Sleep game is weak.

Yeah... I don't know about this.

Living off a budget of $50 in New York!? Maybe in my next lifetime.

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.
