Self Care Is Important

I know, I know, another post about self care but it is so important.

Now that it's summer, self-care is probably the number one thing right now for girls. Think about it, we all want to look our best for summer, whether it involves working or seeing people from your hometown or just traveling. Everybody has their own things for self-care, ranging from face masks to running.

Personally, I love a good face mask, watching some Netflix, doing my nails, and just relaxing. An everyday thing I love to do for myself is to get a workout in, even if it is a short one. Some girls like to read a book, take a bath, there are just so many things you can do for yourself.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in things, to the point to where you forget to take care of your self. It's okay to take a step back from whatever you're doing and realize, I need to care for myself. It's not good to be stressed out, it's so unhealthy for you and your body. It is also okay to take as many days you need a week to do some self-care, as long as you get your stuff done.

I can't tell you how many times where I have been stressed out, took a break from what I was doing, and just relaxed and did my own thing. I felt so much better and it is always so needed.

Besides face masks, manicures, pedicures, and basically anything beauty related, another thing I like to do for self-care is to just relax and watch a movie. If you're looking for some movie or television recommendations, I recommend Game of Thrones, The Office, Wedding Crashers, and you can never go wrong with a comedy.

Self-care is important to each person, you need to let your body relax. Hopefully, after reading this, you'll go do a face mask!

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.
