It's Always A Great Day For A Birthday

As we get older, birthdays aren't as special anymore, but this year my family and friend made it a memorable one.

Today I celebrated my nineteenth birthday with some of the greatest people I have in my life. I am so blessed to have so many people that I know will make my day special for me. Through thick and thin I know that they will always be by my side. Here are all my favorite things I got to do for my birthday!

It is always great when you get what you asked for.

For my birthday from my boyfriend I was given a (much needed) new pillow, a home-made strawberry candle, home-made wax cube melts, and beautiful jewellery. Lets just say that I am pretty excited about my new pillow... I feel like I am getting old! I also was given a beautiful necklace and matching earrings from my boyfriends parents along with the Alice and Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass eyeshadow pallet from my sister. I am absolutely so excited to try it out! From my mom I was given a huge makeup box to keep my huge collection of makeup and from one of my best friends I was given a travel makeup bag and a whole bunch of new makeup and perfume! From my other best friend she painted me a beautiful painting of us under a purple willow tree. Also all of the cards that I have gotten from my family. It all means so much to me.



All the sweet and loving words from family and friends.

All day today my phone has been blowing up with so many notifications from my family and friends wishing me a happy birthday, sending their loving, wishing me a great day and an even better year to come. A majority of all of my birthday wishes came from my friends and family on Facebook. All my other birthday wishes came through loving texts and calls to sing me happy birthday! I beyond grateful for all of my loving family and friends.

Getting to do whatever I want!!!!

Today for my birthday I chose to have lunch at Chilli's with my amazing mom, sister, niece, boyfriend and my best friend (and the mother of my future goddaughter.) After we went to Chilli's my boyfriend and I took my four year old niece to Build-a-Bear since her birthday is seven days away from mine. All three of us made our own stuffed animal. My niece made a Peppa Pig, my boyfriend made a Superman Bear and I made a Donut Bear. We got to stuff them and make a wish and give them a heart. Then we named them then the next step was to print out a birth certificate (which means all of our animals have my birthday.) My bears name is Pixie, my boyfriend bear is named Smokey and my nieces pig was named Pinkie Pie. Then we all came home and sang happy birthday! This has been such a great birthday. I would not have wanted it any other way.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
