Unique Clothing


LikeI said above, a chain shop will have the same styles in every store. But, local shops tend to have things that you won’t find in chain stores. You can buy something super cute in your community, the go out of town for the weekend wearing an out fit no one else does! You get to stand out more!


Super Cute Options


When shopping at a local store, their styles and designs are always SO cute! They have something for every body type, style, size, anything! They make sure their clothes are trendy, cute, and flattering on everyone!


Worth the Money

Yes, they can be a bit pricey, but it’s totally worth it. I know I would much rather wear a fifty dollar shirt that is GREAT quality than a ten dollar shirt that will only last me about a year. Local shops ale sure that their clothes are good quality, that can be worn so much longer after it’s bought.


Nice Employees

I tend to shop locally a lot, and anytime I go into these shops, the employees are always so sweet and helpful. Sometimes it is much harder to find those kind workers in chain stores. I have never had a bad experience with local shop employees. They know how to talk to you and make sure you have a good time while shopping with them!


You help out your community


Nothing seems better to me than getting a cute outfit, and while doing so, helping out my community! It’s a win-win situation for everyone.


When shopping locally, I always make sure to let those employees know how amazing their shop is! To remember that who they work for, and what they do, is amazing! They could have worked at any store in town, but they chose to work at a store that is only in their community. How amazing is that?


Support your local shops and go get yourself something nice in the process!

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.
