Ah, summer. The time of many great things, lounging poolside, warm weather, and of course no school. However, as great as summer is, there is one major downside all those pesky bugs that won't stop biting you! If you're like me, you seem to be a homing beacon for every sort of blood-sucking insect you can think of leaving you itching and miserable. There are many different remedies that one can try, but one stands out amongst the rest… lavender oil!

Lavender oil is almost magic when applied to mosquito bites. I'm allergic to those bites, and so mine don't just itch, they hurt. Sure baking soda paste or clear nail polish stop the itching, but not the pain. That's where the lavender oil comes in. Apply the oil directly to the bite for instant relief of both itching and pain from bug bites! Have so many bites you don't want to apply oil everywhere to? Simple! Just run a bath and add in a good bit of lavender oil and mix it up. Viola! Instant relief for all those horrible bug bites. Now go forth and enjoy your summer itch-free!

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.
