10 Summer Situations Almost All Girls Can Relate To

The joyous hot summer weather brings about a specific set of challenges that every girl must over come. Here's a few of mine.

1. The Reverse Mustache

Have you ever put fake tan, or even bronzer, all over your body and face on a hot day in an attempt to get that summer goddess glow? Well if you have, you'll know come night time there will be a small white strip on your upper lip where the dark pigment has sweated off throughout the day, leaving the dreaded reverse mustache.

2. Underarms Puddles

This one again has to do with sweating (eww). The perfect mix of cotton fabric and the summer heat leaves your shirt with a nice dark ring of moisture around your underarms. #TeamNoSleeveSummer

3. Uneven Tans

Am I the only person who forgets to flip when they're at the beach tanning? It just never occurs to me, so I always end up with one side of my body being four shades darker than the other.

4. Pedicure Problems

It might just be because I'm constantly in the water at the beach or pool, but my pedicures never last in the summer. After less than just two weeks they start chipping and my skin starts peeling, which is not the move when I wanna be wearing cute sandals all the time.

5. Summer Flings

They never last, but it's fun during the months where the sun doesn't set until nine. Then they end and become a simple memory.

6. No Nude Bras

I love wearing fun colored bras, and sometimes I don't mind when they are peeking through my clothing, but in the summer I wear so many light colored shirts that my two nude bras can't keep up with my wardrobe choices. Inevitably, when my sensible bras are in the wash, I'll attempt to pair a dark red bra with light pink shirt hoping that no one will notice the difference. They notice.

7. Pink Cheeks

Maybe it's just my facial structure, but somehow I always manage to burn my cheeks no matter how much sunscreen I slather on.

8. Bye Bye Hair Tie

For some reason, I'm always running low on hair ties in the summer. Either they break super easily, or they fall out of my hair while swimming without me realizing. Either way, I'm left with a naked wrist and a burning hot neck.

9. Booty Shorts Verses Hot Car Seats

There is no worse experience than feeling super cute in your short shorts, only to have your thighs slightly seared the moment you sit down in your car.

10. Chapped Lips Pits

I go to extremes to prevent this from happening by using only medicated lip balm and reapplying almost every other hour, but I wouldn't wish chapped lips (especially when you're kissing someone) on anyone.

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.
