My mom's family lives all over Maine, so growing up I spent most summers visiting there. If you haven't been, Maine is such a beautiful place with a lot of great places to visit and delicious food to eat. Here's a list of some of the wonderful sights, attractions, and food Maine has to offer!

1. Portland Head Lighthouse

The Portland Head Lighthouse is one of many lighthouses scattered all around Maine. Visiting gives you a view you can't beat and an opportunity for some beautiful pictures!

2. Old Orchard Beach

Maine has so many miles of coastline, so visiting any beach is a must. Old Orchard Beach is a beautiful location that many tourists come to for a relaxing beach day.

3. Amato's Sandwiches

If you have never had an Italian sandwich, you are missing out. If you've never had an Italian sandwich from Amato's, you haven't lived. Hands down, Amato's has the BEST Italians out there. This is definitely one of the things I most look forward to when I visit.

4. Downtown Freeport

Downtown Freeport is so much fun. I mean, it has LL Bean, what else do you need? There are great food places, lots of shopping places, and the giant Bean Boot to take a picture with. Plus, they even have Food Truck Fridays!

5. Rococo Ice Cream

If you're looking for an ice cream place with different flavors than your usual chocolate and vanilla, Rococo is a great place to start! They have a lot of really interesting flavors, like Goat Cheese Blackberry, Strawberry Habanero, and Sweet Avocado Cayenne. Definitely something to try!

6. The Causeway in Naples

The Causeway on Sebago Lake is a quaint little boardwalk, perfect for walking and getting some fresh air. The Songo River Queen takes passengers around the lake, or kayaks and other water toys are available to rent for the day. It's a beautiful spot to visit!

7. Lobster

Maine is best known for their lobster, so it had to make the list. If you can get it fresh, don't miss the opportunity! Maine lobster is a 'must have' for seafood lovers.

8. Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor is farther up along the Maine coastline, but it is a beautiful place. The mountains and the water make a lovely scene to visit. I can almost feel the relaxation...

9. Moose

If you're lucky, you just might get to see a moose! They don't come out often, but they are really cool to see!

10. Fryeburg Fair

The Fryeburg Fair is the largest and most popular agricultural fair in Maine. Not only does it have animal shows, horse races, and rides, but it has DELICIOUS fair food. This is definitely something fun to check out if you're looking for a fair!

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.
