In This Article:

You know it's definitely summer when you can't walk outside without feeling like you're going to melt. If you're like me and are extremely pale then you know it's summer when you walk outside and your skin feels like it is going to fry off. Your skin is literally so hot you feel like you could fry an egg on it. Well here is your survival guide for the summer; whether you're at the lake, pool, beach, or just sitting outside, I've got you covered.

1. Sunscreen

Whether it's spray or lotion, make it your new best friend. Sunscreen saves lives. It helps ensure you're not as red as a lobster or in excruciating pain for the next several days.

2. Sunglasses

Honestly I cannot live without sunglasses. The brightness kills my eyes. Also nobody likes putting sunscreen on their eyelids because it runs and burns in your eyes. So what better and more stylish way to protect your eyes.

3. Hats, hats, and more hats

Sun hat, ball cap, visor, cute hat, or any kind of hat works. Hats protect your head and if you're like me and have a big forehead that need protection these are your next best friend as well.

4. Lotion

Lotion replenishes your body. After I've had sunscreen on all day my body feels dry and gross. Lotion saves you no doubt.

5. Aloe Vera

This is for if you unfortunately get burnt to a crisp. We all do at one point or another because no matter how much sunscreen we use the sun always finds a way to burn us.

6. Coconut Oil

Yes, believe me this stuff works wonders. Coconut oil may honestly be better than aloe vera when it comes to being burnt. The coconut oil relieves the sting and hot of the sunburn.

Yes the summer is awesome, but it can be painful. Carry these seven things when traveling, or just have them put somewhere at home and you'll be set for all summer. Don't let the fear of burning keep you inside all summer.

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.
