"Eat good, look good, feel good." -Unknown. Looking good is all about how good you feel. In order to feel and look my best, I allow each of these 8 things to guide me.

1. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

"Breakfast is the most important meal of day!" ... I'm sure you've heard this one before, but it is true. Eat something that is both delicious and nutritious. This could be oatmeal and your favorite fruit! You need to also drink plenty of water. Not only will this deliver oxygen throughout your body, but it will also boost your skin health. It is important to drink water all throughout the day.

2. Work Out

Complete a workout that is best for your mind and body. For some this could be a long walk and for others it could be a spin class. As you exercise, endorphins are released. These endorphins trigger a positive feeling in your body, which leave you feeling way better than you did before your work out.

3. Take Your Time in the Shower

Don't rush yourself. Give yourself time to relax and clear your mind. If shaving is something you do, then shave! Nothing makes me feel more confident than soft, silky legs.

4. Get a Haircut

Haircuts are the perfect time for change (be adventurous). Wether you just want a blow out or a whole new style, walk out of the salon feeling bold and sassy. Plus, it is always fun to just be pampered.

5. Do a Face Mask

This does not mean you have to go out and spend $60 on a facial. At target there are many different face masks for just a couple of bucks. Select what kind of treatment you want, put it on, and allow it to leave you glowing and smiling.

6. Whiten Your Teeth

This step definitely is not as important, but it is great way for me personally to get myself feeling the best. You can buy whitening strips at any drug store or make a paste at home using baking soda. For some of you, this step could be a pore strip or painting your nails. Do whatever makes you feel beautiful!

7. Listen to Your Favorite Music 

Music is proven to increase happiness AND you can listen to it while you are doing each of these things. For me, music is a must have while working out and getting ready. Turn on that LIZZO and get to dancing.

8. Dress Up and Go Out

Give yourself time to get ready. Put on an outfit that makes you feel confident, express yourself through your makeup (glitter is always an option), and be unapologetically you. Go out and doing something fun wether you're riding solo, with a date, or simply with your best friends!

Feeling confident on the outside is all about how you feel on the inside. Self care is important for being your best self. Don't feel selfish for spending extra time and care solely on you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
