Every human being poops. Sometimes people poop every other day, and some people poop two or more times in the same day. Why are so many people uncomfortable to talk about it? Just mentioning this natural phenomenon make people feel uneasy. WHY?

I know one person who refused to even say the word, "poop." She also did not say the word, "sh*t," because it is a "bad" word. I understand that people like to have clean language, but for goodness sake... If she needed to convey she needed to poop she would say, "I need to go number two." Really? Is there something dangerous about this word that she refused to say it?

I also know a lot of people refuse, or try their hardest to not poop in public. So what? There are public bathrooms there for a reason should you need to go! Take care of business with no shame!

I do feel as though products such as Poo-Pourri make going to the bathroom in public harder for people who are self conscious. While the main purpose is to eliminate the unflattering smells of pooping, you shouldn't have to feel like you need to hide what you are doing.


Their product pushes the idea that the smell will never escape the toilet, so it was like you never pooped at all. The product is small enough to fit into a purse or a large pants pocket, and you can sneak it into the bathroom with you. You can attempt to hide it from the world by using this product. Who cares?

Embrace your natural bodily function, and don't feel ashamed to poop, or talk about pooping.

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.
