A typical present for me consists of loose leaf tea, a tea pot, and/or a tea cup. And, I love every second of it. So, here are 10 types of tea and their benefits that everyone should know.

Green Tea

Not only does green tea taste amazing, but it also has some pretty great benefits: treats bloating, allergies, acne, AND promotes weight loss.

Peppermint Tea

Giphy

Smells good, tastes good. Also, it helps with bloating, nausea (peppermint does WONDERS), PMS, and bad breathe. But, this is not an alternative for brushing your teeth.

Oolong Tea

Can't say I have had this one, BUT it promotes weight loss and boosts your metabolism.

Matcha Tea

Matcha Green Tea Frap from Starbucks? HEAVEN! Plus, it burns belly fat, is an immunity booster, and a detoxifier.

White Tea

Giphy

As someone who is always stressed, white tea is a go to. It helps with stress, weight loss, and a detoxifier.

Chamomile Tea

Not only am I always stressed, but I also struggle sleeping at night. This tea is beneficial for sleep, helps headaches and anxiety, and bloating.

Hibiscus Tea

The best tea for high blood pressure and respiratory diseases.

Chai Tea

So many delicious, amazing flavors. It enhances your immune system, fights inflammation and fights against colds.

Black Tea

Giphy

Anxiety treater, headache helper, and helps you lose weight. Need I say more?

Ginger Tea

Giphy

Ginger is great for reducing bloating, helps colds, upset stomachs, and sore throats. Catch all, cure all.

So, basically when you drink tea you SHOULD be: well rested, skinny, anxiety free, and never sick.

What am I? Exhausted, chubby, anxiety FILLED, and always fighting a cold. But, am I still going to drink tea? You beat your sweet self I am.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
