The Oscars — #AskHerMore

On the red carpet we love the fashion, glitz and glamour of it all, but this year, at the 87th Annual Academy Awards, many celebs endorsed the hashtag #AskHerMore. This hashtag is aimed at getting interviewers to ask women about their passions, new projects and about the causes she supports, rather than asking what she is wearing. With many actresses moving on to try other things in the entertainment business, it's important to support their new endeavors.

As much we love hearing about the designers and admiring the wonderfully over-the-top dresses they are wearing, it makes for a more important, and not to mention more interesting, pre-show red carpet to hear what new projects our favorite actresses are working on.

Some of the women backing #AskHerMore include Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Shonda Rimes, Patricia Arquette and Lena Dunham. These celebs combatted the questions about their dresses and makeup with some pretty witty comments. Reese Witherspoon was leading the movement on the red carpet with saying, “This is a movement to say we’re more than just our dresses, there are 44 nominees this year that are women and we are so happy to be here and talk about the work that we’ve done. It’s hard being a woman in Hollywood, or any industry.”

While yes, the celebs on the red carpet do accept gorgeous dresses to wear to events and the designers deserve acknowledgement, these women are proving to be exceptional actresses that work very hard on their films. Interviewers should continue to brag on the designers, as well as the women wearing them. The red carpets are excellent places for celebrities to share their passions and the causes they support, so you gals go on about your bad selves and keep up the hard work. We love to hear what you’re working on and see you rockin' the award shows at the same time.

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.
