So, if you you're having a bad day, or just need a little something to turn that frown upside down... Enjoy these random, and probably useless facts that simply just make me smile! I hope they make you smile too!

1. Sea horses hold each others tails when traveling. The men also carry and produce the babies

It's so cute. I can't. Like just heart warmed. Bam. As for the babies, at least one man on this earth gets the pain. LOL>

2. Rainbows can occur at night... They're called "moonbows"

Life goal; see a moonbow, and shout "IT'S A MOONBOW"

I feel like there'd be a unicorn chilling nearby, I mean come on, A NIGHT RAINBOW!!

3. Squirrels help to plant thousands of trees a year. But it's because they're forgetful... They forget where they put their acorns, A.K.A their food source

Don't feel bad if you're forgetful... Sometimes it can really be a good thing. So the next time you're hard on yourself for forgetting, remember this!

4. Some people actually believe chocolate milk is produced by brown cows

As long as you don't believe this, you're going somewhere in life. I promise, you will be okay.

5. Crocodiles can not stick their tongues out

Poor things!

6. Monday, January 27th is National Bubble Wrap Appreciation day

With all the odd, national holidays that have been created.. I am so happy this exists. I mean like, yeah, GO bubble wrap!

7. Penguins propose to their (potential) lifetime mate by offering them a pebble

I. Want. A. Pebble.

This fact also always reminds me of the Halloween Charlie Brown special, when the little boy holds his hand up and says, "I got a rock"

8. Shakira was kicked out of her choir as a kid because they thought she was a bad singer. And Madonna worked at Dunkin before becoming famous

Never give up on your dreams. That is all I have to say.

9. Dolphins get high by playing with pufferfish

The poison in puffer fish released when they puff up, gets the dolphins high.

It just goes to show, that everyone needs to take some time to relax and have fun. It's okay to live your life.

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.
