Summer is coming, so that means it's also time for yard sales! This is probably the best time of the year. We all love a good deal. But some people are skeptical and don't really want to go to yard sales because they are afraid they might waste a few hours of their lives looking at junk. But this just isn't true. Here are some very common and very great things to look for at yard sales this summer.

1. Records

You can find some really great records at yard sales for super cheap. You might have to dig through sometimes, but it can be worth it.

2. Furniture

Furniture can be really expensive. If you are looking for some different furniture, yard sales are a great place to look. You can find some already decent pieces of furniture or you can even decide to get crafty and paint some of the furniture yourself.

3. Clothes

You can find some really nice clothes at yard sales for ridiculously cheap. I would highly recommend at least browsing through the clothes at every yard sale you go to because yard sales are the cheapest place you will ever find clothes.

4. Coffee mugs

If you are like me and just like buying coffee mugs, yard sales can sometimes have some really interesting ones. You can find really unique coffee mugs that not many people have. Just make sure you wash them.

5. Movies

I absolutely love buying movies at yard sales. There are obviously a ton of movies on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, but there are still some things missing. Yard sales are the best for those missing movies.\

6. Books

People often buy books, read them once, and then they're done. So people are always selling all sorts of books. If you enjoy reading, I promise that if you go out for a day of yard sales you will end the day with a few good reads.

7. Jewelry

Jewelry is another things people are always selling at yard sales. Some people sell more expensive jewelry and still want more money for it, but then there are people who sell everything for less than a dollar. Jewelry can be really pricey when you are buying it brand new so yard sales are a great alternative.

Honestly, you can find basically everything at yard sales, I just shared some of what I think are the best things to search for when you maybe aren't the biggest fan. Just spend a couple weekends this summer going to yard sales because you are bound to end those days with a few things you will be glad you bought. Usually.

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.
