Picking a nail color can quite honestly feel like the most important decision of your life… for about two weeks until the color chips and you have to do it all over again. I look for cute nail designs and color inspiration because c’mon, who else feels like they have their entire life together when their nails are done? With a fresh set of nails, I feel like the unstoppable bad bitch that I am.

1. Baby pink

This is currently what’s on my nails. I love it so much because it’s simple with a pop of color. It feels clean and classy


2. Matte black

I think this look is SO cool! I've always wanted to do it.

3. One different colored finger

Typically, the ring finger is the different colored one, but I’ve seen looks that have the index finger or the middle finger has a different color. In reality, it can be any finger you want!

4. A glossy nude

Ugh. My go – to. I love a good nude color, whether it be a nude lipstick or a nude nail polish. It goes with every look and still makes your nails look stunning!

5. A glittery champagne

I. Love. Glitter. This look can be really unique for any event that you have, whether it be a formal or even New Year's Eve!


6. Classic red

Timeless. Classy. Need I say more?

7. Chrome

This is a newer nail trend that I’ve seen on social media recently but it looks so badass. If you can find a nail salon that can do this, I think it’s worth a try!

8. Marble

Ugh, the ultimate aesthetic. Marble phone cases, laptop cases, and a matching set of marble nails. I’m not sure how exactly people accomplish this look on their nails, but it sure does look cool!

9. Simple white

Personally, I like this color on my nails because I'm super fair-skinned, and this cobalt white makes me look like I've got a small tan going on, and I dig the summer sun.

10. Ombré

This is more of a look that you can achieve yourself, instead of going to a salon. I’ve tried this before with a cosmetic sponge and then stamping it onto my nails. It turned out pretty sweet!


11. Olive green

I tried this color for the first time around Thanksgiving time and I was in love the second my nails were dry. It’s such a different color that people usually wouldn’t think about putting on their fingernails but it was honestly one of my favorite colors that I’ve ever chosen!

At the end of the day, they are just fingernails. While it may not matter to the rest of the world what your nails look like, it matters to you. Having painted nails is such a simple way to feel dressed up, and boost your confidence. Because c’mon, who else feels like they have their entire life together when their nails are done? I know I do. Which reminds me, I need to make my next appointment. Treat yo-self.

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.
