5 Things You've Definitely Been Putting Off That You Need To Do Right Now

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a lot of us slack on some really basic chores that will make your life easier and more organized. If you're reading this, I am assuming you have some free time, so get to it! Here are some things you should do right now and just get them out of the way.

1. Do your laundry.

I am guilty of this sometimes. I push off doing laundry because I have oh-so-many other clothes I could wear right? Right, until you're in a rush or want to wear something that is dirty. Just get up and do it. Have your whole wardrobe at your disposal always and get that intimidating pile in your closet out of the way. You'll feel so much better and check something off of your todo list!

2. Vacuum.

Vacuum your house. I know vacuuming isn't anyone's idea of fun, but there is nothing better than a clean home. It is something that needs to be done regularly. It will make your space feel much home-ier and cleaner. There is no downside!

3. Switch out your sheets and towels.

You sweat when you sleep, and your towels might not be fully dry every time you use them. This means funky smells and breeding grounds for bacteria. If you have acne prone skin or have sensitive skin, this tip is even more important for you. Your body repairs itself while you sleep and your skin is most susceptible to the environment right after a shower. Take the time to make sure your sheets and towels are clean so that you can be happy, clean and healthy!

4. Wash your face.

In conjunction with the previous statement, wash your face! It baffles me how many of my friends and peers are so ok with falling asleep with their makeup on. I could not even dream of doing that. Treat your skin right, and it will make you feel better and look better. Sleeping with your makeup on is so bad for your skin and doesn't give it the time to regenerate overnight which could lead to collagen being produced less frequently which means quicker aging. Not to mention the pore-clogging makeup that will without a doubt make you break out eventually. Do yourself a quick and easy favor, and wash your face.

5. Take a deep breath.

It may feel like you have a lot to do right now, you probably do, but you've got this. Take a deep breath, prioritize, and get things done. You've got this.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
