1. Plastic Bag Storagehttp://www.listotic.com/50-brilliant-storage-ideas...

For this creative idea, all you would need are some thumbtacks, your storage bag boxes, and a blank wall space. When I did this in my kitchen, I used my pantry wall because it's conveniently located next to my snacks.This small kitchen adjustment could easily shave seconds off of your morning routine. Since I'm not a morning person, I'd do anything to stay in bed a little longer before I have to get ready and leave to go to my morning class.

2. Container Storagehttp://housegood.co/10-genius-solutions-food-stora...

This idea is suitable for anyone who prepares their meals for the week in advance, allowing for a structured area to place containers, as well as lids. Consider this, to avoid spending extra time when searching for the corresponding lid for the container your attempting to use, you can conveniently find it after organizing your containers like shown. What you need are your storage containers and any empty boxes that you have. In this picture, they used boxes with a design on them, these are typically found in the "home decor" or "storage" section of your local Walmart or Target.

3. Foil/Wrap Box Storagehttps://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-big-list-of-c...

If you're tired of rummaging through countless drawers to find out where it could have been that you stashed your tin foil, you could use this handy idea to store your boxes in. Mounting a file holder onto a door of one of your kitchen cabinets utilizes a space that wouldn't normally be utilized, and does it in a way that makes things look presentable. File holders are typically located in the "office" section of Walmart or Target, you could get metal or paper ones to mount and even decorate it to coordinate with your kitchen's theme.

4. Spice Storage https://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Fridge-Gap...

Of the 5 ideas, this one is definitely the most challenging but it may be the most rewarding since people tend to have an overwhelming amount of spices in their kitchen. These bottles always take up way too much room, not to mention that they fall over and spill easily. The supplies you'll need for this idea is a tape measure, nails, a hammer, nine wooden planks, six wooden rods, a metal handle, and your spice bottles. Depending on the space between the wall and your fridge effects the width and length of the wooden planks and rods you'll need to have.

5. Pan storagehttps://www.apartmenttherapy.com/small-and-easy-up...

Clear up the inside and the underneath of your oven with this storage idea. All you need is a file rack, your baking pans, and any cookie sheets you need to organize. Most file racks are small enough to fit conveniently inside one of your kitchen cabinets. You can find a file rack in the "office" section of Walmart or Target, in the same area that you would find the file holders in the "foil/wrap box storage" idea above. This would ultimately maximize the space in your kitchen and prevent the clanging of pans when opening the drawer underneath your oven.

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.
