Guys may think us girls are all high maintenance and that we need a diamond ring and flowers to make us happy. The opposite is actually true. We just want and need the small things from men. Men may not realize it, but its really the small things that make us happy. One small thing truly goes more than you'll ever know, babe. Here are some of those tiny things that really make our day delightful.

Small kisses on the lips, cheeks, forehead, hand, etc

If we are feeling sad, a playful little kiss on the cheek tends to really brighten our day.

Love notes

Finding a love note in our lunch at work or school can really help us to get through the day. Whether it be a few words or a few pages long, we love being reminded of how much we are loved by our significant others.

Bringing us food

We are on our periods and super cranky. You man up and bring us some fries from the local McDonald's. We are FOREVER thankful and will praise you till the cows come home. We just love it when you bring us food. Although your obviously the yummiest food around ;).

Hugs

Take notes, boys. We LOVE hugs. It feels like the world can't hurt us and we feel protected in your big manly arms. Please hold us forever, and never let go.

Cuddling

It is the absolute cutest thing in the world when you cuddle us. We feel safe, warm, and happy. We love the silence so we can hear the sound of your heartbeat. Its just one of our secret relaxing pleasures.

Doing chores with us

Laundry and dishes are terribly boring, but when you join in, it suddenly turns fun. Also, we love it when you come get groceries with us. It turns something boring into a totally fun experience. After all, men look incredibly hot while doing some laundry...

Being genuinely interested in our everyday life

We love being asked questions, whether it be how our day at work was, or what we are doing later that night. In any serious relationship, both parties should be asking questions regularly. After all, if you aren't even interested in our lives, should you even be dating us? Take notes, boys. ASK QUESTIONS. We are always happy to answer and ask you questions as well!

Giving us "that look"

Yes, ladies, you know what I'm talking about. The look. The look of love your boyfriend always gives you every time he sees you. Whether he's angry, mad, or upset with you, you can't help to notice that sincere look of love he gives you. When we have this look given to us, it reminds us how amazing you are. Oh, and if I didn't already mention, it looks incredibly sexy on you.

Making us laugh

On our darkest days, a simple joke can be enough to turn our frown upside down. We love when you tell us jokes, do something funny, or just go out of your way to embarrass yourself if it means making our day better.

Calling us babe, baby girl, sweetheart, sweet pea, pumpkin, etc

When we are on a date or texting and you call us those cute names, it really makes our day. We are reminded of how important we are to you. Also, if its not too much to ask, we love when you introduce us to your friends and family as "my girl or my baby girl."

As you can see, its the small things that give us joy in a relationship. So remember, next time you wanna make your girl happy, do one of these things instead of going and buying her a Tiffany and Co. ring. Seriously. It'll make you a better boyfriend and she'll feel like the luckiest girl in the world. The sweetest things you can do for your girl are the little things that let her know she's in your heart and on your mind. Less is always more when it comes to love.

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.
