If you have seen any of my previous posts, you will see that Disney is packed full of 'practical advice' for everyday life. Below are just a few of the countless life lessons brought to us by Disney's "Sleeping Beauty."

1. Don't invite everyone to the party.

Exclude the evil sorceress. No, this isn't a recipe for disaster at all.

2. When giving out magical gifts, beauty and a nice singing voice takes precedence over a good personality and smarts.

As long as she's pretty, she doesn't need to be intelligent or likable. Who cares?

3. Sewing is evil.

I knew it.

4. It's perfectly normal to have an imaginary boyfriend.

Don't let the haters get you down.

5. The guy you met "once upon a dream" exists and is exactly as you imagined him.

Sixteen years of hiding in a cabin are the perfect preparation for marriage. In fact, he'll be the first guy you meet.

6. Don't talk to strangers.

...but if you do, play hard to get.

7. Sometimes a little magic goes a long way.

This is even better than having woodland creatures do manual labor for you!

8. The most important question of them all: pink or blue?

Did you say pink? Them be fightin' words.

9. Always touch the glowing spinning wheel.

What could go wrong?

10. Sometimes all you need is a good nap.

Had a bad day? Sleep it off.

11. Hell hath no fury...be ready for her to turn into a real beast.

Especially if you're trying to ruin an elaborate sixteen-year revenge plot. She might get fiery.

12. As always, true love's kiss is the cure for whatever ails you!

I'm having a Deja Vu moment. Where have I seen this before?

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.
