lizearlewellbeing.com

If you're ever feeling a little bit stressed, there's no doubt that one of the best cures is watching some feel good movies. Sometimes all you need is a little pick me up, and movies are definitely one of the best pick me ups in the world. Aside from chocolate, puppies, kittens, and cuddles and hot chocolate of course. So without further ado, here are a list of some of my favorite feel good movies that I watch whenever I'm feeling down.

1. Finding Nemo

My absolute go to movie, I must have seen this over 50 times.

2. How To Train Your Dragon

After watching this so many times, I really want to own a dragon now.

3. How To Train Your Dragon 2

While you're at it you might as well watch the sequel!

4. Zootopia

Full of great morals for kids and lots of laughs for the adults, you can't go wrong with this movie on your list.

5. Turbo

6. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

All laughs, love and a killer cast.

7. About Time

So you might, okay definitely will, cry during this movie but your end result is definitely a better mood.

8. Aladdin

My absolute favorite Disney movie.

9. Inside Out

Even adults can learn to control their emotions with this clever film.

10. Marley And Me

Just, uhm, don't watch the ending.

This classic is just feel good all around it.

The Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler chemistry is really unbeatable.

15. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

All about love, comedy, and a crazy family. 100% relatable, 100% feel good.

16. Deadpool

Funniest superhero movie you'll ever see.

17. 17 Again

A feel good comedy with a young Zac Efron, can't get much better than that!

18. Jumanji

Is it really a list of feel good movies without Robin Williams?

19. Daddy Day Care

A great moral, a great story and a great feel good movie.

20. Click

By far one of my absolute favorite movies, and unlike critics I just love Adam Sandler.

21. High School Musical

While you're at it, might as well watch all three, right?

22. Sisters

The dynamic duo of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey strike again in this gag comedy.

23. Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

With these amazing special effects and a fantastic new main character, you can't help but smile through this film.

24. The Polar Express

Christmas or not, this movie is a great pick me up all year round.

25. Cinderella (live action)

Our Disney dreams are brought to life in this live action version of the staple princess we all know.

26. Get Hard

Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell make a dynamic team in this crazy comedy.

27. 27 Dresses

Rom Com gold

28. Bridesmaids

A movie that will make you laugh out loud the whole way through.

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me.

And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
