1. Don’t stay in bed all day. You’ll be more tired throughout the day is you lounge around doing nothing.

2. Get up and wash your face EVERY morning. It’ll keep your skin clean and healthy, which in turn makes you happier.

3. Drink water. Stay hydrated. It’s hot outside so the more water you drink, the better. Water is also obviously the healthiest choice.

4. Wear sunscreen and protect your skin. Protecting your skin will make you happier because you won’t have to worry about a future of damaged skin or the chance on getting skin cancer.

5. Eat healthy. Portion your food and stop yourself from eating all the junk that isn’t good for your body. If it’s good for your body, it’s good for your happiness.

6. Do what makes you happy. Have fun. Be yourself. Be a wild one. But be safe and smart. Do you what you want and don’t listen to the negativity of others.

Just remember: This is how I stay healthy. You do what fits you best. I just know that some people don’t know where to get started or how to keep up with it. You are perfect how you are and you should be the only one that makes the decision to change yourself for the better.

You’re beautiful in your own way and that’s what matters. If you’re happy with the way you are then stay that way. Don’t let other people influence how you view yourself or make you want to change how you are.

For you formed my inward parts; 
 you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14

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.
