Why You Should Be Collecting Crystals
Dana Franz

The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, and crystals have been forming since the Earth began. What many people don’t know is that, aside from being beautiful, crystals can be used for healing and a form of therapy.

Crystals give off energy, and the energy that each type gives off is different. Subtle vibrations occur and are specific to the type of crystal, or crystalline structure. These energies can help strengthen your inner self, as well as make you feel good.

Having crystals in your atmosphere is an easy way to feel happier. They are absolutely gorgeous, and the energy they emit will make you feel more comfortable. Certain crystals are believed to protect against negative thoughts from others, some to even help with confidence, like tigers eye, diamond, and jade. Copper, Moonstone, Malachite and Green Aventurine are thought to bring luck!

Quartz, amethyst, kyanite, and citrine are some crystals that are good to be used in meditation and yoga. Quartz has excellent healing and amplification properties. Amethyst has protective and healing properties and is thought to increase intelligence. Kyanite’s energy encourages one to examine all aspects of oneself. Citrine can help one achieve happiness and joy. Before meditation, place the crystals around you where they make you feel most comfortable.

My favorite crystals are amethyst, quartz, and selenite. I feel my happiest and most energetic when they are surrounding me. I like to turn them into jewelry and wear them on my neck, and collect them and put them on my shelves. I notice my plants are thriving the most when I’ve thrown a few quartz crystals in there.

Aura crystals have been altered physically and energetically by fusing precious metals to the crystal. They radiate energy and make the crystals sparkle beautifully.

Crystals can make wonderful decorations because of their stunning beauty. But don’t let that limit you -- wear them, carry them around, or use them for things like calming down when you need to. Pick up a crystal and see how you feel, I know it will be great.

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.
