If you were as fortunate as I was to attend Gov Ball 2016 (all two days of it), then you know what I mean when I say it was a good time. From the acts to the food to the weather, it was a fun (although cut short) weekend not to soon forget! Here are some of the highlights, whether you missed out or not.


1. Kim stood on the palms of her fans #praise


2. De La Soul made everyone, including the paparazzi, put their cameras and phones away to throw their hands in the air like they just don't care

Hence, there are no actual pictures of the crod going wild with thier hands in the air...


3. Mandy Lee from the MisterWives preached equality and the crowd went wild

Your political beliefs aside, she was super empowering. She spoke up and hyped up the crowd, making the MisterWIves performance unforgettable.


4. THE FOOD

It wasn't just one of the many indulgences, it was every single one that was its own highlight.


5. Miguel attempted to crowd surf and he was dropped


6. The rain came pouring down and it stopped NO ONE

Ok, maybe it stopped Day 3, but we all danced in the rain and huddled under tents throughout Saturday afternoon/evening. Well worth the mud on my shoes!


7. Carly Rae Jepsen surprised everyone with a performance with The Knocks


8. There was an iconic unicorn balloon

Not to mention a green monkey and parrott could be spotted throughout the festival grounds.


9. The artwork was on point

Artists from all over the world, from right here in NYC to the countryside of England, beautified Randall's Island with some of their best work.


10. For the 2/3 days lucky festival goers got to attend, fireworks stroked the sky to mark the end of killer performances

Get it? the headliners were the Strokes and the Killers! They both ended each day with their chart toppers and insane dance moves. The crowds went wild and were thrilled to see the sky lit up in honor of the festival.


I absolutely cannot wait to go back again next year! GovBall2017, here I come!

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.
