Stress is something that's absolutely terrible for your health, and it can be caused from a ton of different things. It could be that one deadline that is eekeing over your head. It could be the crying baby in the restaurant. It could be what your former friend says to you.

Diet Tips That Actually Work
Losing weight is never easy. In fact, you can do a lot of hard work to try to drop the pounds, only to see no effect for months before the scale even tips a lighter weight. The fact is that it takes a lot of discipline to drop pounds.

30 Things I'm Still Doing In My 30's
If you were to ask me as a teenager what I would be doing at the fine age of 34, I am pretty sure my current situation wouldn't be it. Not that I don't love my life now, because I do, I really do, but I most likely pictured myself living in a dope ass New York City loft, wearing Gucci head to toe, and designing clothes and saying things like, "right on top of that Rose". If you don't know what movie I am referring to then you are probably too young to even be reading this article. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead people, come on! However, like I said I never saw myself living in central Jersey burbs, chasing around two kids who I love and despise more than anything in the world, still rocking colored hair (purple currently) and a wardrobe mostly full of "active wear". Side note, "active wear" is now the cool word for yoga pants and tank tops with motivational sayings like, Gym Hair Don't Care. Ugh! Aside from the aesthetic version of the now me, I also didn't think I would still be this big of a child. Dancing in my living room like I am god damn Brittney Spears, curing hangovers with 3 Advil and Coca Cola, and begging my kids to build tents with me. I know all adults must give into their inner child now and again, but I think something may be wrong me. It's like my body, common sense, and patience grew up but deep down I am still 17-years-old with 8-year-old tantrums. Here are 30 things I am still doing in my thirties. I am hoping most of you can check a few off yourselves.

16 Things I Learned in 2016
Sometimes, it really is better to just let things go. Holding onto grudges and bitterness and baseless hopes just takes up space in our minds and makes us sad. That's not to say giving up is always the right option, but if it's not going to happen... it's not going to happen. And when you hold onto anger towards someone, all it's doing is hurting you. You deserve better than to be hurt by someone who made you feel that way in the first place. People will come and go in your life, but every time someone leaves, someone else is about to walk in and make it okay. I truly believe that most things happen for a reason, even if that reason isn't readily apparent. When you lose someone you care about, it's just your life making room for the amazing new person or thing that's about to come into it. Sometimes a small change can make a huge difference. If you're stuck somehow, and nothing seems to be working, try changing something else. That change could be the spark to the fire that burns down the wall that's been in front of you for as long as you can remember. Appreciate the small joys in life. Experience every moment as it's happening and bask in the beauty of it. Remind yourself how lucky you are to be here, and just let it happen. Years from now, the memory of that moment will be much sweeter. I promise. Listen to more music. Seriously. Whenever you can, add a soundtrack to your life. Music has a funny way of making everything better. Don't apologize for what you enjoy. Do what you want to and drop anyone who tries to make you feel guilty. As long as you're not hurting anyone else, you have a right to do whatever you need to in order to experience life to the fullest capacity possible. If that means getting that haircut you've always wanted, do it. If that means moving across the country because you've been thinking about it for years, then do it. Life is too short to not do what you enjoy just to please others. Take more selfies, both by yourself and with friends. Ignore people who say it's vain or pointless, because they're wrong. In ten years, you're going to have a collection of pictures that detail you at every stage of your life. You'll be able to look back to that time you cut your bangs and they took a year to grow back out. You'll be able to see that selfie you took with your friends at that party, and remember how fun it was. Pictures are a way of preserving our precious memories. On a related note, take more candid and unposed pictures. Sure, we all love those pictures that look perfect. But they're fake. You'll never look at that and remember something amazing, you'll remember how painstaking it was to get everything just right. Genuine photos will never be perfect and that's okay. My favorite pictures in the entire world are all blurry and someone is always making a stupid face. But that's okay, because they're real. When those pictures were taken, we were all so happy, and it shows - and that's what I'll always remember when I look at it. Never, EVER, make the mistake of forgetting to look in the mirror when you go out somewhere. Stand up for yourself. While it's true that letting go of anger is a good thing, letting someone walk all over you is worse. You're a human being and you deserve to be treated with love and respect. Family is a privilege, not a right. If a family member consistently treats you like garbage and refuses to stop, you don't have to acknowledge a relationship with them. Similarly, your best friends are your family. They do just as much for you as your relatives do, sometimes more. Therefore, they're your family, too. When someone says they're there for you, they mean it. Take advantage of that. If you need help, reach out to someone. Your loved ones want to help you, they don't want you to suffer in silence. They want to help you, I promise. Listen to those around you. If every single person you know tells you that getting that face tattoo is a bad idea... you might want to listen to them. A small act of kindness goes a long way. It might be nothing to you, but it could make that person's entire week. My sophomore year of high school, I was sitting alone at lunch. I was going through some stuff at the time, and I had recently moved, so I didn't have any friends yet. Out of the blue, this person who was in band with me came up to me and said, "You look kinda sad and you're sitting alone so...can I give you a hug?" That person went on to be my best friend. When I told them about this, they didn't really remember it. It wasn't a big deal to them. But to me, it made my week. The fact that I still remember it shows how much it meant to me. Little acts of kindness can do so much for someone. If you did something embarrassing, but nobody saw it, it didn't happen. You're never alone. There is always at least one person who is willing to help you. Don't be afraid to reach out to them.

Top Slang of '17
Whenever I imagine an older person trying to be cool I envision someone saying "yo yo yo" while they flail and cross their arms like a rapper from the 80's. Except instead of looking like a cool ass hip hop artist they look more like someone having a fit and sounding like a total dweeb. OK, maybe that's just me since that is exactly what my father did while I was growing up. My friends would come over, mostly dressed in XXL t-shirts and Phat Farm jeans on, and there would be my dad Yo Yo Yo'n and arm seizuring all up in their face. And never, not once, did any one of those friends say, "Damn your dad is cool".

Favorite Makeup Products by Ulta Beauty
I am a budget shopper, but also a lover of beauty products. I am always looking for ways to save money, but still, have high-quality products that I enjoy using and make me look great. As a long time fan of Ulta, I have tried many of their store brand products over the years. I find that many of their store brand items are great quality and have a lower price tag than higher end brands. Also, Ulta often has sales on their store brand items, which is a great time to stock up and save even more cash. Ulta often runs sales where you can buy two, get two free of their store brand items.

Buxom Lip Polish and Full-On Lip Cream
Buxom is famous for its lip products. They offer lip gloss in two different finishes. One has shimmer and sparkly, where the other is just shiny. Whatever your preference, there is sure to be a shade that you will adore. These lip products are sheer but do have very light color. They work well alone or as a top coat over other lip products.

Most Toxic Makeup Ingredients
The FDA was created to remove toxic makeup and food ingredients from store shelves after the uproar caused by Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Despite the many tests run by the Food and Drug Administration, many toxic makeup ingredients still end up being used in common beauty products.
