Why Self-Care Is So Important
Breathe in Life Blog

Self-care is something that we all can admit to neglecting sometimes, whether it be from stress from school, stress from life, or just flat out forgetting. But overall, self-care is SO important

Self-care itself can take many forms. From just relaxing and doing something that you love, or participating in a fun hobby, to taking the time to relax and pulling out one of those trusty Lush bath bombs, and taking a bubble bath. However, you do self-care, it's important regardless.

Self care is important for retaining a healthy relationship with yourself. Putting effort into yourself strengthens your sense of self love. Along with the physical aspect of self love, comes the emotional aspect also.

Participating in emotional self care helps you get rid of stress, and also helps you refocus your energy. It eliminates the whole "burnout" that happened when stress, and other emotional factors build up over time.

To me, the simplest form of self care is eating right, keeping good hygiene habits, and taking time to pamper myself. These small but simple changes in your life/ routine can make such a big difference. Simple things like face masks, a new perfume, a hair mask, all can make you feel so good.

Everyone should practice self care. No matter your gender, it can make your life so much better.

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.
