I'm telling you from experience that these three simple tips will do the trick and have you bounce back ready for the long week of studying for the long tests and endless homework that everyone enjoys...obviously.

1. Sweat it out

Small little fact: sweating does not rid your body of toxins. It's just a normal body function that helps cool your body temperature.

Go hit the gym- working out is very beneficial for helping your body to increase the breakdown and help release the toxins stored in your fat tissues.

Sauna- yes, when you're in a sauna, all you do is sit and sweat. But sweating does, in small but increasing amounts, help you get rid of xenobiotic- foreign compounds like plastics. It can also help eliminate hormones that are stored in your fat cells. (I recommend an infrared sauna.)

2. Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate

Always make sure you drink fluids after a good workout or being in a hot sauna because the sweat pulls out the electrolytes and some of the minerals out of your body, so drinking plenty of fluids helps add back what you lost.

Lemon water- it's refreshing, it helps boost your metabolism, and if you drink hot lemon water, that helps with digestion.

Green tea- has antioxidants that help boost your immune system, and it flushes out your liver

3. Quick detoxing diet

The ultimate key to being healthy and losing weight is always what you eat.

Eat raw- raw veggies and fruits, fats including avocados, almonds, pecans, cashews, walnuts, coconut, even some seafood!

Cut down- on sugars, alcohol, sodas, chips, dairy products, and anything that makes your body bloat

There are lots of benefits of detoxing: increased energy, clearer skin, lower inflammation, better digestion, sleep better, and a clear mind= a happy mind.

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.
