Life can be a mess sometimes and confusing to say the least. So why not try a few of these things when life becomes less than perfect. Here are six life-hacks to help you out.


1. Scattered bobby pins be-gone.


It's hard to keep track of bobby pins, like unbelievable hard. And once you have taken them off the package they come on, there is no good way to keep them and store them. Until now! Buy a cheap stick-on magnetic strip from Walmart, cut a piece off and stick it to a place where you get ready (vanity, by your bed, desk, ect.) and viola! You're bobby pins are up and ready to go.


2. Scarf storage.

Okay, we all know scarves are a must-have for fall and winter seasons. But when you have 10--or 50 scarves it can be a hassle to store them all. Not any more! Simply purchase some cheap shower rings to an old hanger and you now have something to hang all your scarves on. Just slide each scarf on a ring and hang in your closet. Boom! Instant scarf organizer and it's so easy to do.


3. Bathroom stalls that won't stay latched.


This is the best life-hack ever! Most of us will encounter a bathroom stall that won't latch along the way, so what do you do if you HAVE to use that stall and you don't want the door to sing open? Simply put a hair tie around the latch and you're good to go!


4. Pricey make-up brushes.


Why buy a billion pricey make up brushes? Get two-in-one with this simple hack.


5. Broken flip-flops.

We all know the struggle of the broken flip-flop. When your beloved pals decide it's time to rip. Simple fix? Place a bread tag around the part that stick out of the bottom and it will no longer rip through the broken hole. This may only be a temporary fix but it works until you can get a new pair.


6. Shaving cuts.


We've all done it. This easy trick will stop the bleeding almost immediately.

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.
