Ready, Set, Vote!

With Election Day right around the corner you want to make sure you are informed and ready to make the biggest decision we as American citizens can make- voting for the President of the United States. Here are a few reasons to get excited to cast your ballot on November 8th!

1. You get to to exercise your Constitutional right to vote. Too often we take this for granted. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed to allow every U.S. citizen over the age of 18 to vote. Do not let those who died and fought for all genders and ethnicities to be able to cast a vote be in vain.

2. You have the ability to use your voice to make a difference. Each individual has the opportunity to take a stand and support their parties candidate. It is the time that every citizen, no matter income or social status, is on equal ground. Words cannot express how inconceivably cool that is. Every single person in our nation (over 18) has the power to vote for the ideals they want to live by, the policies that they agree with, for the America they want to live in. We the people have the ability to mold and change our nation as we see fit.

3. You get a sticker! Okay so this is a bit trivial but who cares. Stickers are so cool. You can even follow in the steps of celebrities like Zoe Kravitz or Katy Perry and post a picture on social media to let the world now that you care for your country enough to vote.

This is just a friendly call to action. Please vote, it is so important and impacts every single one of us. Vote for yourself, vote for your family, for those who died so that you could have the ability to.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person.

Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
