We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

On February 26th, 2020, Scotland became the first country to make Menstruation Hygiene Products free and accessible to all women. They should be free everywhere regardless.

In a world of capitalism, we see so many companies rip off customers by price gouging and bootlegging products that should be accessible. Many of these products don't cost a fraction of the cost you spend on buying it as a consumer.

Feminine Menstruation Products have been in the hot spot of overpricing for decades and we as women need to push and start a fight and put an end to the overpricing of these products. Many women cannot even afford to buy good quality products because they sell a low quantity in the box for a high price.

These products are essential, and the lack of sanitization leads to a spread of bacteria that can harm others. The lack of accessibility of these products makes it all the worst. We need to see change and put a stop to capitalism and sexism in the process.

Scotland was named the first country to make them free but we should be seeing this law placed in countries with high poverty rates and the millions of Americans who can't afford the products is what makes the issue worse.

No excuses make feminine hygiene products free and accessible for everyone. Take off the price tag and make them accessible.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
