Why You Should Take The "#100happydays" Challenge

Surely you can't be happy for 100 days in a row, right? Wrong.

The "#100happydays" challenge was created by Dmitry Golubnichy as an attempt to get himself out of a dark place and start appreciating the "little things" again. He started posting a picture a day of what made him happy with the hashtag "#100happydays." Soon after, many others started to follow in his footsteps. As of today, more than 1.5 million people have completed this simple, yet life-changing challenge - and you should too. Did I mention that if you register on their website and complete the full challenge that the happy days foundation will send you a printed set of your 100 pictures for free?

Personally, I had just gone through a breakup when I decided to begin my "#100happydays" journey. I was feeling pretty low, but I decided that it wasn't the end of the world and I needed to start cherishing the little things in life again. In the beginning, it was a bit of a hassle to remember to take a picture of what made me happy throughout the day. But as the challenge progressed, I began to look forward to my daily posts. After completing the challenge in its entirety, I can honestly say that I am a happier person than I was the day I started it.

So yes, I think you should embark on your own "#100happydays" journey too. All you have to do is register on this website and make either a "happy days" Instagram account (like I did) or simply post a picture a day to your everyday Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts with the hashtag "#100happydays."

If you're already pretty happy right now, great, but I still think you should give it a shot. You never know what will come of it if you never try.


If I can do it, you can do it!

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.
