She's so Rare!

Thank You Selena Gomez, For Not Using Photoshop

This week, Selena Gomez announced her swimsuit collaboration with La'Mariette. In doing so, she modeled all of her designs in the collection.

Not only are all the pieces gorgeous, but Selena looked amazing in the photos. And fans have noticed something very special about the photos. Selena did not photoshop her body in these photos, despite these swimsuits being a bit revealing.

Now I know this sounds kind of crazy, and not that big a deal, but it is.

Selena herself has said in an interview with Vogue that she struggled with her body image, that her weight fluctuates (like most normal people), and always wanted to hide her stomach. So these pictures are probably amazing for her.

They are also amazing for her fans. Her fans get to see someone embracing their natural body, and they don't have to feel pressure to look a certain way, which is unrealistic for some people.

For someone like me, who has struggled with her body image, specifically with showing her stomach, these photos were huge. I'll admit, when I first saw the photos, I thought they were gorgeous, except for her stomach. But I then caught myself, and looked at the photos more. And I realized that Selena Gomez has the same stomach, the same body as me. And I started liking the photos, and then I realized I loved the photos.

I feel like Selena has helped me to accept my body more. That I can show my stomach without being insecure about it. That I don't have to spend years trying to look like someone else. It makes me feel better that a celebrity has a body like mine.

So thank you, Selena Gomez.

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.
