Secrets From The Royal Family

Growing up all little girls wanted to be princesses. But what we didn't realize at the time was all of the rules that came with the glamorous lifestyle. Lets look at a few rules that the royal family lives by.

1. When the Queen Is Done Eating So Are You

When it comes to eating with the royal family it is recommended that you follow the Queens lead. And that includes finishing when she is done as well. Lets hope you're not too hungry.

2. You Can't Vote

3. You Can Not Hold A Political Office

4. You Can Not Play Monopoly

As crazy as this one sounds this is an actual rule in the family. The game is said to become too vicious so the royal family made a rule back in 2008 saying that you can't play the game.

5. You Can't Be Touched By Non-Royals


6. You Can't Be Roman Catholic

While this is more of a recommendation again it is actually preferred that you stick to the Church of England.

7. You Need To Know Multiple Languages

8. You Can't Eat Shellfish

This to a seafood lover may be crazy but this one is a rule for good reason. You will never see the royal family eating shellfish out of fear that is could cause food poisoning and get someone sick. Better safe than sorry.

9. You Can't Wear Fur (Rule Sometimes Broken)

10. You Can't Be Addressed By Your Birth Name, This Includes Nicknames

If you ever meet someone who is a royal you won't hear people address them as "Natalie" or "Buck". When you become a royal you go by your new royal title. this can be seen with Princess Kate, or as she is known as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.

11. You Can Not Sign Anything Unofficial

12. You Must Always Look Presentable

When we see pictures of the royal family one of the first things we notice is how nice they always look. It is expected of you to always look your best, you wouldn't want the tabloids getting a picture of you in your leggings and sweater.

13. You Must Be As Charitable As Possible

14. You Must Give Up Your Former Career

Whether you were a teacher or a CEO once you become royalty you must give up your former career for this new life.

15. If You Were Once A Commoner You Can't Arrive At A Party Before The Blood Princess

16. Your Clothes Can't Send Ambiguous Messages

17. You Must Accept Gifts Graciously

18. Direct Heirs Can't Travel Together

19. All Holidays Are Spent Together

20. You Must Attend Royal Events

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.
