Where To Find Vinyl Records

If you're anything like me, you know that nothing beats a classic vinyl record. It just sounds so much better. I grew up listening to my parents collection of old 80's rock albums, and now I've started my own collection of music. Luckily in the past couple years vinyl has made a major comeback and it's much easier to find. Even current artists have encouraged this comeback by producing their own vinyl albums for fans to purchase. Here's a couple places that you can find those vinyl album must haves!

1. Local Record Store

Sometimes they're a bit hard to find, but once you do it's easy to spend hours looking around. In my opinion, shuffling through boxes with plastic covered albums is part of the experience. Here's where you might get lucky and find an old, rare album, or one that's not popular to the public, but a treasure to you. Even if the store is a little bit of a destination, take a friend and make a day trip out of it! Take a drive to a cool record store and grab a coffee at a local cafe! Perfect day in my opinion! Use VinylHunt.com and you'll find some great independent record stores near you.

2. Urban Outfitters

Yes, its true! I'm always surprised by the variety they have from old school classics, to new age indie. Urban Outfitters also has really nice record players if you're in the market for a new one. Urban is a little bit pricey, but records are timeless, so splurge a little!

3. Best Buy

Best Buy has a pretty good selection, and they're a little bit cheaper than some other places.

4. Artist Websites

Several artists have their own websites with store tabs where you can order their vinyl albums online and have them shipped to your door. This can come in handy if you know exactly what you want and don't have the time to spend moseying around a store.

5. Target.com

Not all Targets have vinyl albums in store, but online they have a great variety! They have everything from Jay-Z to Queen, and one of the best things is that they're a lot more affordable than other stores.

6. Amazon

Amazon.com has every new album you could want and you can even search by price, which is helpful if you're under a budget, but want to start a collection. Amazon also has turntables and accessories if you're looking to add to your vinyl aesthetic.

I hope these 6 places gave you ideas of where you can find your new vinyl albums. Let me know in the comments where you love to go record shopping!

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.
