If you are ever feeling down, or just not yourself, these things might help you feel a little better. It is so important to take care of yourself, to make sure you are doing OK. And if you aren't, take some time to make yourself feel better. Self-care is so important, you come before anything.

1. Make a nail appointment.

If you have a little bit of extra cash around, splurge on a mani-pedi. If you're a college student most nail salons around your campus offer discounts.

2. Get a massage!

These are always good, especially if your feeling stressed. While these can be pricey there are some simple massages that can work within your price point.

3. Take a bath. 

Pop in a bath bomb or some bubble bath, light some candles grab a good book or set up your laptop and watch your favorite show. A relaxing way to unwind and treat yourself to some much-needed downtime.

4. Do a face mask. 

As simple as these are, there are so many different ones out there that aren't that expensive that can do so much for your skin. And it will leave you feeling refreshed.

5. Go shopping!

That shirt you have been eyeing from American Eagle or those shorts from Hollister, go ahead and buy them.

6. Order delivery of your favorite food. 

Get takeout from your favorite restaurant and enjoy yummy food from the comfort of your bed while you watch your favorite TV Show.

7. Get your hair done. 

If you want to color it, color it. If you aren't into changing your hair color maybe just get a blowout or some luxurious curls.

8. Go to the gym!

No matter what you do, if it's just to run or lift weights. A good sweat will make you feel so much better!

9. Clean your room/house. 

A clean space will automatically make you feel better. No matter how messy, if it needs a little tidying up go ahead and do it.

10. Sing and dance!

Play your favorite songs, get up and dance. Sing your heart out, like no one is listening.

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.
