Don't be a Regina George, be kind and be yourself.

Mean Girl? Never Heard Of Her — Being Nice Is Much More Rewarding
Sedona Meadows

Going throughout life you encounter many different types of people. When I meet someone unfriendly I often wonder 'why'? Why is it so difficult to be nice? How did they get like that?

The sayings "it takes more energy to be mean than to be nice" and "it takes more muscles to frown than smile" couldn't be more right.

It is so much easier to be friendly and treat people with kindness than to say something rude and hurt someone's feelings.

I'll admit... when I'm in a bad mood I can get a little snippy. And I'm definitely not preaching happiness and positivity all of the time because I know that is unrealistic... it's our human nature to be a little moody every now and then.

But, with that said, you can be more mindful of how you approach situations. It can be as simple as thinking before you speak or walking away when you know nothing sweet will leave your mouth.

Kindness not only makes others feel good but also makes you feel good when you give it. I don't know about you but I get so happy when I see others smile because of what I said to them. Complimenting one another is such a simple gesture but a great one.

I know when I receive a compliment or nice saying, it makes my entire day better.

So... think about it... it is so easy to make others happy so shouldn't we be doing it more often? I think yes.

You'll never really know why others can be mean or are unfriendly but you can always think about yourself and how you will treat others.

The more love this world gives the more love everyone will receive. And like The Beatles said, "All we need is love" right?

So all I'm saying is don't be a Regina George, be kind and be yourself. You DO have an impact on this world, so use it.

Much love XOXO

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.
