Must Do's On Your First Visit To Las Vegas

If you have never been to Vegas—GO! I was never really into the whole Vegas scene until I went. You don't have to be a raging alcoholic or big gambler to have fun in the "Sin City." Plan a trip with your girlfriends and remember to hit some of my favorite spots on your visit:

Purple Zebra
This is a go-to if you are looking for a Slurpee bar on the strip. I was completely overwhelmed by the wall of Slurpee flavors (non-alcoholic and alcoholic) and how many options there were to choose from! You can mix flavors until your heart is content.

Cirque du Soleil
Each hotel has a version of Cirque du Soleil, and I wish I could have seen them all. I saw "Mystére" at Treasure Island, and it was incredible. The shows only last a couple hours so you still have plenty of time for shenanigans after.

High Roller
The High Roller is a Ferris wheel or observation wheel that overlooks the strip when you reach the top. I recommend taking a ride at night because everything it lit up and looks absolutely beautiful.

La Creperie
It may be a struggle to wake up in the morning, but make the time to wake up a half hour early and eat crepes in Paris. I was dragged out of bed multiple times to eat crepes, and never once did I regret it.

Coyote Ugly Saloon
After watching the movie I had no idea what to expect when I walked into Coyote Ugly Saloon in New York New York. Definitely go if you want to dance the night away. And yes, it is like the movie!

Bellagio Fountains
I probably watched the fountains a hundred times. They are mesmerizing to say the least. The Bellagio puts on a great water show with music every hour on the dot. Be there.

Gondola Ride
Take a gondola ride outside or inside The Venetian. It was one of the first things I did when I got to Vegas and only something you do once. Bring your drinks and take pictures with your gondolier!

Casa Di Amore
The best Italian food you will ever eat. It is located off the strip, but a limo will pick you and your party up free of charge and bring you to the restaurant for dinner. The pasta dishes feed about forty people, so go hungry and share!

Thunder From Down Under
Ladies, this one is for you. It is the hottest show in Vegas. I will admit I caught myself blushing a couple times! I went to the show with my mom who enjoyed it even more than I did. They are very good looking men, and that is all I will say about that.

There is so much to do on The Strip and so little time to fit it all in. Pick an activity or place in each hotel that you want to do and keep on moving. Las Vegas has so much to offer, don't miss out!

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.
