A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines

Fifty shades of tan.

A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines
Eden Garrett

Dear Chaco tan lines,

Where have you been all my life? What would I do without a constant reminder of last summer? You are always there for me, and never go away. I really appreciate that.

Every day during the summer while lifeguarding at the pool, what did I do? No, I did not save lives, I worked on my amazing tan line. The competition of who had the best tan line was on, do you know who won? Of course I did. By the end of the summer, we all have the perfect shade of tan and bright white. You glisten in the daylight and bring the whole world happiness.

Nothing compares to you. You are a symbol of hope, love, strength, and freedom. You are stylish and everyone knows that you were expensive to create and I am so proud of you. You are not only proof that I can get extremely tan but that I was really pale during the winter. You also show that I can get 28 shades darker in only two months.

While I love you dearly, sometimes you're inconvenient. When I want to wear other shoes, you always seen to poke through. While during an interview, the interviewer stops and asks about you. While I love you, you are not professional but still adorable so I forgive you.

You are a great topic to talk about, you stand out and makes others notice. You get compliments all the time and I am so proud that you are a part of me. It makes me 100 times cooler when people see you. It makes my day when random strangers say how much they love you, and I do too.

Tan lines, you were there for me all summer, through the winter, and still here while I am getting ready for summer again. Thank you for being there for me though the good times and bad, you are a friend that never goes away and I am forever grateful.

Xoxo,

Dark & Gorgeous

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.
