1. The Motivation High

You’ve looked at more transformation pictures than you can count and you are ready to get on board. In twelve weeks you are going to have a six pack and everyone will be asking you how in the world you did it. You laid out your workout clothes the night before, told yourself you weren’t going to eat anything bad for you, and even drank an entire bottle of water before 9:00 AM.


2. The Calm Before The Storm

The time has come. You’ve made it to the gym in your cute workout gear and you are ready to grind. You take a peek at your Monday workout and Hey! Look at that! It really doesn’t even look that hard. Body weight squats? Please. You could do this in your sleep.


3. No Pictures Please (okay, maybe just one...)

What can you say? You’re killing it. Sure you can feel the burn a little bit, but you know that it’s just the feeling before your butt is going to look great in that new pair of Lulu leggings you just bought.


4. Questioning Your Existence... And sanity.

You’re out of breath, dripping sweat, and you can actually hear your muscles begging you to stop… did I mention it has only been 14 minutes? Yeah girlfriend, you’re only halfway there. Whether you’re Catholic or not, go ahead and hit yourself with a quick across-the-body cross and pray that your heart doesn’t stop before this is over. Why would anyone ever choose to do this to themselves?????


5. Death By Kayla

It is official. You are a shell of a human being. Everything hurts and you are questioning every decision you’ve made up to the point of allowing yourself to be put through this cruel and unusual punishment. Now you’re just going to lie here on the ground for the rest of eternity.


6. You Basically Rule.

Now that you’ve found the motivation to peel yourself off the floor, you’re feeling pretty dang good about yourself. You conquered the esteemed Kayla workout and you didn’t even die in the process. Maybe you’ll even do it again tomorrow. You now get to give passersby a smug smile of accomplishment because honestly, do they know who you are??

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.
