1 Don't Buy 1st Quality Hardwood

1st Quality hardwood is sold at Lowes, Home Depot, and your local flooring store that has all the fancy and multi-color sample squares. 1st Quality is the most "clean" looking hardwood floor. It costs on average $3 - $5

2 Buy Cabin Grade Hardwood

1st Quality hardwood is the most expensive grade of hardwood. 1st Quality production lines remove any boards or planks that have mineral grain, wormholes, or color variations that make it look too "wood-like". Anything not matching a perfect color or feature standard gets put into a cabin-grade product box. Cabin-grade hardwood has striking visuals that make you think, "this is real wood". If you want to see a picture or wonder what it costs, Reallycheapfloors.com is the largest supplier of cabin grade in the country right now.

3 Buy Small Lots of Hardwood

No matter where you are buying flooring, you can ask if there are small lots they are trying to get rid of. If you can do one room at a time, buy a small lot of 300-400 sq. ft and ask for a discount. Almost every company would be happy to save you money on a small purchase that frees up space! Give it a try!

4 Ask About Returned Flooring

Customers are fickle. Someone may not like how a flooring color matches their furniture. They box it back up and return it for a better color. You can get a big discount on returned flooring, don't hesitate to ask!

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.
