Let's Get Naked

For a free spirit like myself, I never really questioned why I was constantly wanting to be out of restricting clothes and just lounging around in the most bare minimum amount of clothing that was appropriate. Then I began to realize there are so many health benefits that come with it! Here are a few healthy reasons why you should become a nudist too.

1. Sleeping naked is extremely beneficial.

First off, when you sleep your body goes through natural temperature changes throughout your sleep cycles. Wearing pajamas actually gets in the way of your body's natural ability to regulate its temperature, causing you to lose sleep. Moreover, the warmer you are when you sleep, the more your body creates cortisol to help it sleep more – this has been proven to make you more hungry. By sleeping naked you are also reducing the likelihood of gaining weight from wanting to eat, because you are so tired. Last, but certainly just as important, sleeping naked with the one you love is very healthy for your relationship! It promotes a healthy sex life and confidence within your relationship. Sleeping naked with your loved one will encourage more frequent sex, which then in turn will lead to a healthier, happier couple!

2. It's better for your lady parts.

This little bit is specifically for my female readers. Being naked and removing restricting underwear is actually proven to benefit your downstairs. It lets it breath, stay dry, and regulate itself. This is especially true at night, when wearing underwear or tight, cute clothing is actually harmful to your downstairs because it is trapping in bacteria that could cause infections.

3. You become body conscious.

Putting on layers of clothing immediately after showering means you don't get time to look at yourself. Spending time naked means you will see yourself more, and you'll be more apt to noticing a difference in your appearance from when you're healthy to when you are or could be sick. You also will become aware of what you're comfortable with for your body shape, creating positive body image, but also helping you see weight gain or loss that you may not have seen with clothing on. It never hurts to spend time naked to inspect your body to make sure you are the healthiest you.

4. Being naked is sexy.

Many people are intimidated by their natural selves, causing them to quickly cover up and not look at their bodies. Spending time with yourself naked boosts your self confidence by allowing you to become comfortable with your natural self. This confidence will roll over to when you do have clothing on too. Plus, by putting less clothing on your body you are also reducing the risk for sweating and holding in bacteria that could cause acne, thus creating more confidence with clear skin. If you don't feel comfortable walking around naked in your house, first try sleeping naked, then move on to getting ready in the morning without the towel wrapped around you, each of these has its own benefits and adds to the bigger picture – that you are sexy naked! If you are in a relationship, then feeling sexy naked is only going to benefit the both of you.

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.
