Why Kate And Leo Deserve An Oscar For Being Hollywood's Best BFFs

He did it! It happened! The god of our dreams finally won the Oscar he deserved. On February 28th, Leonardo DiCaprio took his rightful place on stage at the Dolby Theatre and held the gold statue that he no doubt dreamed about for the duration of his 30-year film career for his winning movie, “The Revenant.” His loyal fans watched on in a trance on TV screens across the world as Leo went on to thank the many people involved with “The Revenant”, and smiled in glee as he highlighted issues on climate change. But what made everyone cry in fangirl happiness was not the fact that it took six nominations for the Academy to finally recognize DiCaprio’s diverse talents, but that the Rose to his Jack, aka Kate Winslet, was right there to support her ridiculously handsome friend in what must have been the best moment of his life. Here, we celebrate Kate and Leo’s friendship, a relationship spanning almost twenty years that deserves an award all on its own.


Audiences know that Rose let go when she adamantly said she wouldn't. But "Titanic" marked the beginning of a friendship fan girls (and fan boys) and shippers alike would never let go of.


Jack, you better come back... (to me)

I mean, I was barely a year old when they attended the 1998 Golden Globes. But I think we can all agree we wish we walked into our proms looking this fabulous.


In 2004, Leonardo went on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and was asked about his best on-screen kiss. "I'm just gonna go with, you know, Kate Winslet. Good ol' classic." Oprah went on to show a clip of an interview Winslet did after "Titanic" was released. "We always got on incredibly well," she said of her co-star. "He's so good at what he does and we really stuck together." With that the audience clapped and Leo smiled, saying, "That's my girl." Excuse me while I cry.

Back in 2012, Kate had a super secret wedding to Ned Rocknroll. While there are no pictures of the private ceremony, it was only fitting that Kate's best friend, Leo, gave her away. Sigh.

In 2008, the dynamic duo teamed up for another film directed by Sam Mendes called "Revolutionary Road." The film went on to earn both Kate and Leo a Golden Globe as well as being nominated for several other prestigious awards including four BAFTAs and three Oscars. In the process, it gifted us several red carpet appearances where the BFFs did nothing but gush about each other.


So much perfection in one picture.

They constantly talk about each other like this.

Where my Kate and Leo at?

Lastly, they are homies.

Here's to campaigning for a joint #Kate&LeoOscar2k17! Enjoy one last GIF for the road. And congrats, Leo!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
