The cruelty-free UK-based brand, Lush, announced on Twitter that for the next two weeks they're bringing the issue of discrimination against transgender individuals into the spotlight of their North American stores.

They have stripped their storefront windows of their usual displays and replaced them with the products from their "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" collection along with quotes from their transgender and non-binary employees relating to their identities and community pride.

Within this collection, Lush offers two products: a bath melt and a Charity Pot.

"Inner Truth" is a pink and blue heart shaped bath melt in which the product's colors were inspired by the transgender flag.

The Charity Pot body lotion has been a staple product of the brand as the proceeds always go "to small grassroots organizations."

100% of the sales from these two products go directly to organizations who are fighting for transgender rights such as the National Center for Transgender Equality. In addition to these two body products, Lush offers small booklets to their in-store customers which detail "how to be a trans ally."

From the collection's name, Lush has been spreading the hashtag, #TransRightsAreHumanRights, throughout their numerous social media pages. They've been focusing on sharing the personal stories of their transgender and non-binary employees on social media as well as offering statistics on their website relating to the various daily struggles that these individuals face.

If there isn't a Lush near you and you still want to help the cause, you can order these products online and learn more about the movement here!

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.
