7 Reasons To Sleep Naked
  1. Bed Time Routine Has Never Been Easier. Straight from the shower to the bed. It’s just glorious, leaping into the air as if I was a high jumper trying to beat the USM legend Trista Barry and landing in crisp cold sheets. I think I am usually asleep prior to the landing portion of my air travel.
  2. I no longer wash Pajamas. One less thing right?! I have never really understood sleep wear. My mother wears what I call a pajama tuxedo which is just a pant and blouse set of matching sleep wear. It boggles the mind really, to have a certain set of thing you have to wear at a certain time. I refuse to suffer from that kind of tyranny! I am an AMERICAN!
  3. It Leads To A Better Night Life. Think about it. If you’re in your clothes longer into the night are you not more likely to respond to that call from your friend that is perpetually tipsy to go hang out with that girl who you’ve always wanted to meet but never had a good excuse to talk to her. However, if you were in your jammies you may be more inclined to think “eh I’ll catch her next time” or “but this flannel is so snuggly” but you’re a man and would never say such a thing as that.
  4. FREEEEEEDDDDOOOOM! I cannot forget the most obvious thing. The sheer joy that is going commando. Not having any restrictions, you’ve finally shed those worldly shackles forced upon you by society.
  5. Skin Touching Skin. If you’re married or are in the kind of relationship where slumber parties are not uncommon you know what I’m talking about. Not to mention it when you are together like that the brain releases a neurotoxin called Oxytocin that helps strengthen your bond with that person. Oh and probably will lead to more sexy time.
  6. Regulates Growth Hormones. Some times when you sleep in clothes you get hot. Not uncomfortable hot but just hot enough to wear your body may irregularly produce the human growth hormone. This hormone does everything from building muscle to slowing the aging process. So for those of you who prefer equations (sleep nude) = (look younger when you’re old). Of course there is no science to back this up other than my handy equation there.

Now There Are Scenarios Where Commando Sleeping is frowned upon. Such as if you have a roommate or live with your parents. Don’t ask, just don’t do it. Also, you will want to bathe a little more thoroughly around the down stairs area if you're going to bed commando. As it turns out, most people do not like sleeping next to an unwashed AND uncovered behind. Who knew? Having said all this, you should definitely wash your sheets more.

Peace out, enjoy the day, and make your night time experience better by just letting it all hang out.

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.
