It Has Been Over A Week And We Still Are Not Over The Royal Wedding

Well, it has been a little over a week since the royal wedding and we still are not over it.

On May 19, 2018, California born and raised Meghan Markle married Prince Harry while the whole world watched on. The couple wed at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. Millions watched the live feed of the ceremony that was shown on six USA news channels.

Harry seeing Meghan for the first time set every girl's expectations for her future husband very high. His exact words were "You look amazing. I'm so lucky," as he smiled ear to ear.

They made their ceremony their own by using traditional parts of royal weddings and other parts to incorporate Meghan's background. Like the beautiful rendition of 'Stand by Me' by the choir.

Meghan wore a beautiful Givenchy gown designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller. The stunning bandeau diamond tiara she wore was borrowed from the Queen's collection and was once worn by Queen Mary. Another special touch added to her look was her bouquet. The flowers were picked by Harry himself, including forget-me-nots which were the late Princess Dianna's favorite flower.

Due to her father not being able to make it Prince Charles walked her down the aisle the last half of way.

They stuck the royal tradition of not kissing inside the church. The first kiss took place right outside, as they were greeted by thousands of waiting people just dying to get a peek at the new couple.

The wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. An American girl finds love in British royalty and they lived happily ever after as the ride off in a horse and carriage. I mean could it get any more perfect?

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
