My familiarity with the sustainable lifestyle and fashion industry has recently increased after watching a video posted by a creator, Arden Rose, on her YouTube channel. The movement towards a more eco-friendly and longer-lasting way of living has become more and more prominent in the last few years.

I personally was always surrounded by a conversation about environmentally-friendly and conscious choices. Stores such as H&M have begun to feature clothing lines such as H&M Conscious. Including advertisements highlighting the positive impact of sustainable clothing, introducing the campaign to recycle clothing, and the changes in tags throughout the store to specify the clothing that is part of this unique line has drawn attention to this store, and others, in the progress towards sustainability.

What I found to be the most interesting, starting with Arden's video and then from my own research afterward, was the varying degrees with which clothing is judged to be sustainable. Different environmental and conservational organizations rate different brands, products, and materials differently from one another. The greatest struggle that I have seen so far has been the development of my own personal judgment. What do I deem to be the most accurate source of standardization of sustainability and who is influenced by which other organization for their ranking?

It is in the process of this exploration that I have concluded that I am just barely scratching the surface of my exploration into the world of sustainability. What I have started to do is purge my closet of any clothing that I have not worn in a long time or that I have found just does not fit me anymore. These clothes I then take in bags to H&M and recycle, I trade with my friends to get a new wardrobe without spending any money, or I donate.

If you might be interested in exploring sustainability, or if I've just piqued your interest, go ahead and start with Arden's video above. That's where I first started becoming more interested in making changes that could, in the long-term, really help keep our planet happy and healthy.

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.
