Victoria's Secret Is Saying Goodbye To Their Bathing Suits This Year

As the weather gets warmer and our skin gets tanner it could only mean that summer is right around the corner. I can almost guarantee that we've all been saving up to buy cute, new bathing suits to show off on the beach in a few weeks.

For many of us, Victoria's Secret is our one-stop-shop in our annual bikini search. But this trip to the mall, you might want to stock up for next year too because prepare to get your heart broken. VS authorities have recently announced that they will be cutting certain categories of merchandise, including their swimwear line.

At one point, the swimwear line brought in nearly $500 million in sales a year. Recently VS swim suits haven't been as big of a hit as many of us may have thought, considering they began the Victoria's Secret "Swim Special" on CBS just last year. The popularity and sales within the line has unexpectedly decreased significantly over time. Now, the company hopes to enhance growth in their lingerie, beauty and PINK brand inventory.

In addition, the company plans to focus on other, more seemingly profitable lines like their new VS Sport fitness line, which has brought the company roughly $250 million annually in just the past two years. It is anticipated that this line could eventually rise to $1 billion. It will begin to take over the space of their swim suits in stores and online. This line features a ton of cute shorts, cropped and full-length leggings, sports bras, athletic tanks, gym bags, head bands, water bottles and much more!

It doesn't stop there, though. It looks like there will be no more waiting around for the next VS catalogue to get delivered to your house every week because L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret, has decided to do away with their catalogue too. This big move could potentially save the company $100 million a year.

So no more agonizing over your summer body every time you look at the cover of the magazine sitting on your night stand to see a shimmering set of abs. By doing this, the company will be focusing heavily on their online advertising which may be a smart move with the increasing popularity of the internet and social web.

These changes are being made to potentially stimulate growth and reinforce the business as a whole in the long run for L Brands and Victoria's Secret. Hopefully, these efforts will make for a better and stronger business altogether.

But let's get back to the main focus here — the swimwear. Have no fear. I may have forgot to mention that Victoria's Secret's PINK brand is reportedly not going to be ridding their stores of swimwear. So, there's really no need to have a complete bathing suit meltdown quite yet — save that for the dressing room.

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.
