5 Snacks To Protect Your Summer Body

Obviously everyone can agree that their favorite hobby is eating. With summer currently half way through, nobody wants to waste all their calories by scarfing down just a few cookies and before you know it, all 2,000 calories for the day are gone.

1. Animal Crackers

Everyones favorite childhood snack. By eating a good abundance of 26 crackers, the calorie count is only around 140.

2. Popcorn

The greatest movie theater snack. As long as you don't drown your popcorn with butter and salt instead of just lightly drizzling it, you can get away with around 100- 200 calories per large serving. Some brands even offer a 100 calorie pack.

3. Goldfish

26 goldfish amount to one serving. Although you may think that 26 tiny fish are not worth those calories, they're super tasty and extra filling as well.

4. Trail Mix

Who can complain about eating peanuts and M&M's? Trail mix is equivalent to a broken apart Reese's if you think about it. So next time you grab a Reese's or Trix, or any candy bar for that matter, grab some trail mix from the store instead. It also it an easy snack to throw together at home!

5. Dark Chocolate

Not everyone's favorite type of chocolate, (Milk Chocolate is better) but hey dark chocolate is better than no chocolate.

So next time you feel guilty about scarfing down those calories, don't! There are so many alternatives to try and actually enjoy just as much as a nice chocolate chip cookie.

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.
