Unless you live under a rock or something, you've probably heard about Queer Eye: a show in which 5 openly gay men travel to small towns across the south and give total makeovers--as in fashion, interior design, diet, grooming, AND culture--to people who really need it. It is a FABULOUS (no pun intended) show that deserves your attention for SO. MANY. REASONS. Here is a list of reasons why you should binge watch this show, ASAP and why it's my most recent obsession.

1. It starts important conversations.

Antoni knows.

This is where Queer Eye truly shines: it is an excellent platform for the LGBTQ+ community to gain acceptance--and it does so in a way that isn't preachy. It's wonderful.

2. IT'S REALLY FRICKIN' HILARIOUS.

Love a lil JVN shade.

This show is funny without ever being mean and that is a feat in and of itself.

3. It teaches that self-care has no gender.

Tan gets it.

Men are so conditioned to think that a consistent grooming routine & caring about fashion are strictly feminine things--and that is BULLSH*T.

4. It is a perfect example of BEAUTIFUL MALE FRIENDSHIP.

My heart, Karamo. My HEART.

BYE TOXIC MASCULINITY. These men demonstrate how wonderful authentic, supportive male friendship can be.

5. It has genuinely great tips for everything ranging from fashion to interior design.

Bobby Berk for goddamn president.

FRENCH. TUCK. ALWAYS.

6. THEY'RE SO. DAMN. CUTE.

That SMIRK. UGH Antoni.

I literally cannot express how much I love them WOW. Every single one. UGH.

7. It shares truly wonderful stories.

Honestly same.

Many of the people that come on the show have really inspiring stories to share--from learning to accept themselves to putting others first to being a family man...there's so much to learn!

8. REPRESENTATION MATTERS.

It is really, really important for people to be able to see themselves in what they see in TV, in music, in movies, in the media, et cetera, et cetera. Queer Eye has an incredibly diverse cast and range of guests on the show.

9. It changes lives.

Mama Tammye with the wisdom YES QUEEN.

This show truly changes the lives of the people they bring on their show--and their viewers--for the better. This is not just a superficial show about changing what you look like, either: its goal is to improve the WHOLE person, not just the outside.

10. It's a damn good TV show.

Trust me on this one.

To put it shortly, this show is entertaining, heartwarming, educational, and hilarious: what more could you want?

YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

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.
