1. Wear a mask at the airport, on the plane and, even in the bathroom.

I debated including this but I have realized that some people still are not wearing their masks as they should be.

If your mask is not covering both your nose and mouth, you aren't wearing it properly. In order for it to work, you must wear it over both your nose and mouth!

You can make wearing a mask fun by getting a cute one to show off your style or personality. Many retailers are now selling them such as Revolve, Walmart, Target, American Eagle, and many more.

Wearing a mask is the correct and polite thing to do and is highly effective in keeping yourself and others safe.

2. Use only paper documents.

You heard that right. I will not be using a mobile boarding pass. I do not want to have to set my phone on the scanners at security checkpoints and at the boarding gate.

Just imagine all of the places you take your phone and all of the people who are at the airport.

There are millions of germs from all of those people and places. By using a paper ticket I will be protecting my phone and myself from potential bacteria.

3. Pack your own snacks.

By packing my own snacks, I know that my food is safe and has not been exposed to potential bacteria.

I want to be the only person to touch my food.

And, I don't have to worry about whether restaurants are open or not. This protects me and all of the people I would have exposed myself to by trying to order something.

4. Use a throw-away mask.

What I mean by this is that I will be wearing a mask that as soon as I am in my car out of the airport, it will be thrown away. This is so that if my mask has been exposed to anything I will not be exposing myself to it or anyone else who I would have come into contact with while wearing it.

Whether you are planning on flying this month or not until 2021 PLEASE be safe and take appropriate measures!

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.
