No one likes to be stuck at home sick, so here are a few things to do that might your sick day a tad more enjoyable!

1. Stay Hydrated

Make sure to drink plenty of water, juice, and hot decaf tea. Stay away from milk and caffeine because they can actually make you feel even worse.

2. Rest

Definitely take plenty of naps because sleep may be the best thing for you.

3. Use Honey!

You can coat your throat by adding some raw honey to your tea. Honey can also be used to treat infections!

4. Take a Shower or Bath

This can help with a mild fever, and helps open up your airways.

5. Binge Watch Netflix

This is a great way to let your body relax, and allow yourself to get some rest with out falling asleep.

6. Go to the Doctor's Office

If over the counter medicine and home remedies are cutting it, it is a good idea to seek medical advice from a professional.

7. Get Vitamin C

This vitamin can help boost your immune system, and can even prevent you coming down with the common cold. It can be food in citrus, Emergen-C drink powers, or orange juice!

8. Go Online Shopping

This is a great way for me to relieve stress when I am stuck at home. Online shopping can also help to make you feel like you accomplished something even though you are sick!

9. Wear Pajamas

Pajamas are also the go to comfy clothes when you don't feel 100 percent.

10. See If Someone Will Buy You Food

This way you don't have to waste energy on preparing a meal, and can spend that time instead making sure you get some rest.

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.

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.
