5 Random Facts About Barley And Hops:

1. Can't tell the difference between Barley and Hops? There are three easy ways to identify them. Firstly, look at their noses. Barley's nose is almost entirely black. However, Hops has pink spots on his nose, making him stand out. Secondly, Barley is slightly heavier than Hops, making him appear much larger than his brother. Finally, you can use the color of their collars to identify them. Barley sports a blue collar, and Hops wears a red collar.

2. Barley and Hops are both fascinated by bunnies. If they spot a bunny in the window, the puppies throw their paws on the panels in hopes of reaching the creatures. During their daily walks, Barley and Hops chase the bunnies through the grass until they disappear in the woods.

3. Try mentioning a squirrel around them. Instantly, Barley and Hops bark at every window until the animal disappears. Hops—clueless as always—continues to bark even after the squirrel runs away.

4. Both Hops and Barley enjoy sleeping in awkward positions. Hops lays under the piano on his back, leaving his legs sticking up in the air. Barley prefers the laundry room where he can crush his face against the door and press his back against the wooden stair.

5. Whenever a bean bag chair is within their reach, Barley and Hops compete for a spot. They use their fierce growls to display their dominance, but they quiet down as soon as they melt into the bean bag chair.

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.

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.
