It's what is on the inside that counts.

A Love Letter To Ben And Jerry's Ice Cream
Miami

Dear Ben and Jerry,

I don't really know who you are, but I love your ice cream. Whether it's the completely underrated "Phish Food" or the classic "Half Baked", you are my lover for life.

You cater to all kinds of people. For the animal lover out there, you strive to be animal-friendly. You source non-GMO ingredients, eggs from cage-free hens, and milk and cream from happy cows. For the indecisive person, you make the choice even harder with fifty flavors to choose from!! Plus more with your non-dairy selection for the lactose intolerant folks. Fellow chocoholics, like myself, will go crazy for "Chocolate Fudge Brownie", "The Tonight Dough", "S'mores", "Phish Food", "New York Super Fudge Chunk", "Half Baked", "Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Core", and so much more! Most of all, we chocolate lovers could not thank you enough for the gift that is "Chocolate Therapy". When we've had a hard day and there's no ice cream in the house, we go right to you every time.

It's also nice to have you so close and so available. No one likes a long distance relationship, it's hard. But I can find you in Walmart, Kroger, Jewel, Target, Hyvee, Schnucks, Walgreens, CVS, and probably more. Where ever I am, I know I can find you. I don't know why it has taken me so long to find you, but I'm glad I did.

You make life fun and exciting! You're always surprising me with new flavors or new products, like vegan ice cream or pint slices. I do love surprises, it keeps me on my toes.

My life changed when I met you. And so did my bank account. But people do crazy things for love, like spending $5.50 for a pint of ice cream. But no one ever said love was easy! Oh, no. Love is powerful, and it makes you do crazy things! Like, drive to the local 24-hour grocery store at 11 p.m. specifically for Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I also understand that your ice cream is pretty unhealthy. But, we all have our flaws. And, it's not your fault that you made the ice cream so damn irresistible.

If I could have any dessert, it would be you. Who cares about plain old boring cheesecake when you have not one, or two, but four cheesecake flavors to choose from. Who would want sweet, decadent caramels when you have not three, not four, but seven different caramel flavors to choose from! And who would ever crave a warm, fresh out of the oven brownie when they could have one of your five brownie flavors.

You know how to make a girl like me happy, and I hope you are in my life for as long as possible. Thanks for everything.

Love,

Your biggest fan of all things you create!

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.
