"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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
