Libras are the most balancing of all signs, and ruled by the planet Venus, the God of beauty and love, libras appreciate the beauty in everything.
If you have a libra as a friend, or you’re romantically involved with one, you will know that everyone can benefit from having a libra in their life.
8 Reasons Why You Need a Libra In Your Life:
1. Romantic
Libras can romance the socks off of anyone, however they wont because they are very particular. But know that if a libra likes you, they will court you in the most unbelievable way- wine and dine you, and make you believe in romance again.
Being that they are romantic at heart, libras also always enjoy having someone by their side, and relationships to them are like an adventure.
2. Diplomatic
Getting along with people is one of libras talents, and they have the ability to listen to differing viewpoints with a great deal of patience.
Libras make their point without ever resorting to violence or aggression, and they do their best to keep everyone happy.
3. Charming
Besides being romantic, libras are masters of charm. Whether it’s smoothing over ruffled feathers or making someone feel welcomed, libras excel in the social grace department.
They are also very aware of others’ feelings and emotions, and part of their charm is in their sensitivity to others.
4. Life of the party
Being surrounded by people and talking and laughing is what makes a libra happy. They always have a ton of things to say and fun stories to share, and they will certainly keep you entertained.
Libras hate negativity, and they like their surroundings to be filled with good energy. Positivity is key.
5. Intelligent
Libras are very bright. Many don’t see this trait because their physical attractiveness is so apparent.
However, if you look beneath the surface you’ll be surprised by libras in depth conversations and their wit.
6. Balanced
Where other signs would not know what to do in certain situations, libras thrive, being that they see all signs of a situation and try and understand both viewpoints before moving forward.
In times of distress, libras become the eye of the storm, and they are masters at problem solving.
7. Easygoing
Libras are very easygoing and adaptable which makes them very likeable. As long as they are around the people they love, they are happy, and they will cope with whatever life throws at them.
Libras are ready and able to embrace change.
8. Impeccable style
Libra’s like the finer things in life, but it doesn’t mean they are superficial. Libras just have really good taste, and they take pride in creating beauty with what they have.
Their style always reflects elegance, and for that reason, they don’t have to work hard at getting noticed.

Our favorite Showtime drama is back, and with the premiere this Sunday, October 4, we have a ton to look forward to.
Claires Danes and Mandy Patinkin are returning, and there are a few new cast members to get excited about and 5 major things to anticipate.
I am not necessarily giving away any spoilers, instead just information based trailers and press teasers. But, anyone who is superconscious about spoilers is forewarned.
1. It answers questions
Image Credit: idigitaltimes.com
When Homeland season 4 rapped up last December, it left viewers on a cliff hanger. One of the major questions it left us with is when Quinn was recruited by his Spec Ops buddies to take down high-profile terrorist targets in Syria, did he come out of the mission alive? Not to mention what will his relationship look like with Carrie if he does?
We are also wondering about Saul and Dar Adal. In season 4, the two CIA operatives made a deal with some questionable allies for the sake of peace. How will that agreement impact the rest of season 5? Does it earn Saul the CIA director position he’s been pining for?
A resolution to all of these questions will be revealed in season 5.
2. A brand new setting and story
Image Credit: global.handelsblatt.com
Heading into its premiere, Showtime producers have spilled a few details. One of the most publicized is that the new season takes place on-location in Berlin, Germany with three years of separation between season 4’s events. We anticipate it being refreshing to see the show take place somewhere else in the world.
3. A changed Carrie?
Image Credit: gc images
At the beginning of season 5, viewers can see Carrie in a very different role. Since season 4, she has alienated herself from the CIA, and instead she works in security for a German benefactor that tries to ensure peace through “alternative means.”
It’s also said that Carrie will be viewing the world from a more “domestic” perspective as well. And with a love interest supporting her, she’s starting to feel happier at home. Is this change permanent, or just a distraction from the operative lifestyle she’s born to lead?
We’ll find out soon.
4. New cast
Image Credit: vebidoo.de
There’s a ton of fresh characters in season 5, and while the casting news has flown under the radar, there are at least six talented actors bringing new roles to the series. Among those are Schindler’s List’s Mark Ivanir, Micah Hauptman from Masters of Sex, and Lord of the Ring’s Miranda Otto, whom will help Saul run his CIA operation out of Berlin.
Sebastian Koch plays Carrie’s benefactor boss, and colleagues at the organization will be acted by Sarah Sokolovic and Alexander Fehling of Inglourious Basterds.
5. Saul in power?
Image Credit: processedmedia.wordpress.com
We don’t know if Saul attains full directorship of the CIA, but trailers suggest that he’s still very much involved with the organization. He’s traded in his less formal attire for a suit a tie, which means he has to be in some position of authority.
We hope that this year Saul finally gets the respect he deserves.

At times, Carrie Bradshaw’s opinions on life, love, dating, and friendship were dramatic and cliché, but more often than not, her insightful thoughts were words any girl should live by.
Take a look at the top 11 Carrie Bradshaw quotes from Sex and the Cityon love, life, and happiness that you should follow (even if you’re a ‘Miranda’, ‘Samantha’, or ‘Charlotte’).

11. “I like my money where I can see it – hanging in my closet.”
10. “Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are.”
9. “seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart.”
Photo by HBO
8. “Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.”
7. “Some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.”
6. “And finally, the most important break up rule: no matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never go through it without your friends.”

5. “They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.”
4.”Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.”
3. “The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”

2. “The universe may not always play fair, but at least it’s got a hell of a sense of humor.”
1. “Life gives you lots of chances to screw up, which means you have just as many chances to get it right.”

They say fashion is art that you wear, but they didn’t specify that human beings were the pieces of art.
Rick Owen, who has previously sent exposed male models down the runway, topped himself at Paris Fashion Week recently. He sent some very flexible models down the runway for his women’s wear show. Not only were the models displaying lovely hues of beige and cream, they were also seen wearing each other.
That’s right folks: this Spring you can expect to see pastels, florals, and 6-foot models being displayed at your local Sears.
“In fashion, one day you’re in, and the next day you’re ON”
These models made it all the way to Paris Fashion week, the height of their careers.
You really have to feel sympathetic for these models. They’ve spent their whole lives struggling to get to the top of the modeling food chain (one that is abundant in everything but food), only to be subjected to this bizarre avant-garde fashion statement. It’s like hitting the peak of your career, and then placing your head in a rather unsavory place (though some may say that is the only way to reach the top).
At any rate, when it comes time to get your spring 2016 wardrobe together, consider strapping a six-foot tall woman to your torso as an unimpeachably on-trend finishing touch. Call me closed-minded, but I truly do not understand fashion. Perhaps I lack culture, but I probably just lack the muscle.
When it comes to dangerous situations, toddlers and young children seem to have no sense of fear, and this video is a perfect example. When his parents weren’t watching, this young boy climbs out onto the ledge of the eight-story-high window, and nonchalantly peers over the edge for almost two minutes.
Luckily, the 2-year-old got bored of his death-defying stunt, and climbed back inside without a scratch.
Neighbors captured the heart-pounding moment a 2-year-old in Miass, Russia, wandered out onto the window ledge eight stories up.

Once the man filming the video zooms out, you can really see how high, and how dangerous this boy’s stunt was.

The family said they were shocked when told about what had happened when they weren’t paying attention.

Life is often compared to a roller coaster because of its unpredictability, which is why this man decided the perfect place to propose to his girlfriend, or roller coaster buddy, was on an actual roller coaster.
Whether you want to get married or not, watching creative wedding proposals never gets boring, and this proposal is nothing short of exhilarating.
This girl looked thoroughly confused as her boyfriend started talking about riding roller coasters. “Its got its ups and downs. Its got its twists and turns, and it throws you for a loop sometimes. You can go by yourself but it’s a lot more fun if you have another person,” he said.

But it all started making sense when he asked her if she wanted to be his ‘roller coaster buddy.’

She managed to give a small head nod to say yes, but could not contain her emotions for the rest of the ride.

Who knew otters were so skilled with their hand-eye coordination?
He may not be Cristiano Ronaldo, but he can certainly juggle. The otter that recently appeared in a Youtube video coutesy Alice Angus, has been entertaining zoo patrons recently. This is because he knows how to juggle rocks and is quite the little show-off.
The behavior is very common for otters, who commonly lay on the backs in the water and eat food off their stomachs (much like I do while watching TV). As a result, they develop skilled hand-eye coordination and get quite good at preventing that snack from slipping into the water. This otter is one performer that beats all “otter” clowns.
He also knows how to turn heads.

Otters are funny, little critters.
According to Daily Mail, otters grow to be the ripe age of 16-years-old and often mate for life. They’re faithful to their partners in the cutest ways possible. Not only do they stay together forever (or at least for their short 16-year life), they even hold hands with their mate while they sleep. This is to prevent them from floating away from each other and losing their partner as they drift through the water and the tides of life.
If that doesn’t warm your heart then this video certainly will:
Traveling is exciting because it’s unpredictable, but the very thing that makes it great can also make it challenging, and that’s doubly true when it comes to traveling with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Traveling as a couple will essentially highlight the absolute best and worst qualities in your partner, and if you can make it through a vacation together, you’ll be able to make it through just about anything.
Here are the 7 reasons why traveling with your partner is the best test of a relationship.
7. You’ll probably get into a fight.
And that’s perfectly normal. Traveling with your boyfriend or girlfriend seams idyllic, but it’s easy to get ‘sick’ of each other – or any person for that matter- when your with them for 24 hours straight everyday. Hopefully, you’ll be able to strengthen your problem-solving and communication skills, which will bring you closer together.
6. You’ll see each other at your worst.
You may be very civilized and put together at home, but if you lose your luggage, or get food poisoning from eating at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, you’re definitely not going to be looking your best. You’ll know you have a keeper if they could care less how you look, and more about just being with you.
5. There will be plenty of free time to get into serious conversation topics.
Traveling is so exciting because you’re constantly doing new activities, and exploring new places, that is, once you get to your destination. Before you actually get there, however, there’s a lot of time waiting around. This is the perfect opportunity to get into deep conversations like how many kids do you want, do you even want kids, or future goals.
4. You’ll see if your preparation styles mesh.
Planning and going on a trip with your partner is the perfect way to see how they deal with making plans. Do they have a strict itinerary that must be adhered to, or are they completely spontaneous and leave things like hotel and restaurant reservations up to chance? Depending on your own style, the experience might be a total nightmare or a dream. If you can’t agree on how to plan a relaxing vacation together, how are you supposed to
3. You’ll both be out of your comfort zones.
As amazing and fun as traveling can be, it’s practically guaranteed that there will be some hurdles along the way. There might be a bad language barrier, a missed connecting plane, or even a lost wallet, and the way you both handle those hurdles will either bring you together or push you apart.
2. You’ll find out how well each is able to compromise.
As much as you agree on things, there will come a time when your interests don’t quite match. You may have your heart set on an action packed hike into the mountains, and your partner might want to have a relaxing afternoon at the spa. When situations like this come up- and they will- it’s important that you both find a way to compromise.
You might decide to have some time for independent activities, do a bit of both, or even do a completely new activity. No matter what you decide, it’s important that you both agree, and that the solution satisfies both of you.
1. You’ll see how they really treat other people.
If you really want to know the person your getting in bed with, the most important thing you can observe is the way they treat other people. Traveling to new places with unfamiliar cultures that force you out of your comfort zone can bring out some surprising personality traits that are normally hidden at home. How your partner treats flight attendants, hotel receptionists, and waiters will reveal their true nature when things aren’t going their way.

This look shows sophistication and elegance without the chance of being over-dressed. It’s perfect for class and dates. It says you put comfort first and can’t be bothered with being cold for the sake of style, but also shows that you can still be effortlessly trendy while barely trying.
2. Go for the chunky look, without being frumpy:
Pair the sweater with comfy jeans or leggings for a comfy Sunday afternoon look. It’s the perfect outfit for watching the football game and nothing says casual like an over-sized sweater. It’s like an outfit that wraps your neck up with love and affection.
3. If it’s warm enough, go for the sleeveless look:
This trendy and chic look is perfect for the office and going out with girlfriends. The great thing about turtlenecks is that they’re typically conservative, which allows you to get sexy with the rest of the style. A little extra tightness isn’t okay if it’s all hanging out around your cleavage, but those rules become pretty flexible when you’re up to your neck in material.
4. If it’s cold, let it all hang loose (it’s like wearing a blanket around with you):
There’s nothing better than taking your comforter with you to work. Grant it, you probably won’t be able to do this with most jobs (unless you have the awesome job of writing for LifeDaily, in which case yes, you can wear a blanket to work…in your living room).
However, if your job requires you to work in a casually-dressed office, this is the next best thing. This turtleneck is like wearing blankets to work. To dress up a look like this one, simply belt it and put on a pair of heels.
5. Go for tight and chic on a girls night out:
Who says turtlenecks can’t be sexy? Haven’t you ever heard desire isn’t about what you can have, rather what you think you can have. Turtlenecks are just as tantalizing as a plunging neckline, if not more. They allow the mind to run wild with what may lay beneath, rather than being able to actually see it when you bend over.
If you’re currently busy getting your life together, that’s okay, you can simply pretend your life is all set. It’ll be our little secret nobody has to know about while you actually do get your life together.
If you want to trick yourself into thinking you’re organized:
Pull your comforter over unmade sheets.
Keep some air fresheners plugged into the wall to trick guests into thinking they just walked into a Parisian bakery.
Buy a shoe rack. Focus on keeping the shoes on that rack organized. Hide the rest of the mess in your closet and draws but keep that rack more neatly stacked than a row of books.
Put things in mason jars. Herps and spices are a bonus but you could literally stick a bunch of carrots in water and call in artsy.
If you want to appear cultured and well-rounded:
Read one article a week. Find a way to bring it up in discussion. Tell your friends about how you read “this piece on climate change.” Memorize one statistic from the article. Pass that tidbit along to your audience.
Own stationary–bonus if you find a matching pen.
Turn your radio station to the Spanish channel every time you leave the car. When your guests get in and turn on the radio tell them you’re training your brain to think in new patterns. By learning a Spanish phrase a day and just listening to the noise in the background, you’re hoping to pick up on the pattern of another language.
Bring a “homemade” dessert next time you go to a friend’s place. Brake up a few shards of dark chocolate in a bowl, throw in blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. Tell your friends it’s an old Italian recipe.
If you want to appear more mysterious:
Carry a book around with you that’s covered in a brown paper bag. If somebody asks you what you’re reading, simply tell them the cover was falling apart. Still don’t bother to mention what it is you’re reading.
Next time you get invited somewhere you don’t want to go, tell your acquaintances you can’t because you have a suitor who should be calling that night.
Buy a journal. Write mysterious phrases and quips in it unrelated to your life or anything in general.
Carry a planner around with you. When making plans, tell people you will pencil them in. Literally, proceed to pencil them in.
If you want you dates to think you’re more put together than you are:
Wear a matching bra and underwear set.
When they call or text you, tell them you are just about to go into a meeting but you can call them back later. Then, continuing watching Netflix.
Invite them over for dinner. Make pasta for them and drink wine out of real wine glasses. Light candles for extra effect.
Buy a cat. Buy a large arm chair. Sit in the arm chair menacingly while you pet the cat.
Depending on your age, you may still be impervious to crippling hangovers, but no one is impervious to calories.
Next time you decide to have a night out on the town with your friends, just remember that you’re actually consuming a ridiculous amount of extra calories.
Whether you’re starting your freshman year at college, or you’re well into your 30’s, beer bellies look good on no one. (Yup, I’m calling out the whole dad-bod craze.) Take a look at these images that compare the calories in alcoholic drinks to your favorite foods for a healthy dose of reality.

Baby stingrays are the happiest little bundles of terror you’ve ever seen.
Remember ET, the extra-terrestrial? We all fell in love with that bundle of joy in 1982 and the internet may have found a few other adorable terrors from his home planet. While we can neither confirm nor deny that these animals are actually aliens (they’re totally aliens) we can assure you that they are adorable and just a little bit creepy looking.
When was the last time you saw a baby stingray dancing in a tank? I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume it’s been a while. Unless you’re a marine biologist or you work for Sea World, chances are you rarely encounter these little guys. So you might be surprise when you see this video. For example:
Wait, they have legs?!
Image Credit: Giphy
Apparently, stingrays have some form of a lower limb underneath all that leathery skin. They are also see-through in the early stages of their lives and they have these really cute little smiles. They dance and squirm and they may even do the Macarena. These stingrays look like foreign, but equally precious, alien monster babies.
The internet’s fascination with kitties is starting to get violent. What started out as a harmless interest in our feline companions is turning into a full-on fetish with people turning carnival games into real live animal contests. It’s inhumane. It’s brutal. It’s absolutely adorable.
Okay, maybe it isn’t actually inhumane and brutal, but I assure you it is certainly adorable. Remember that arcade game we used to play in our childhood where the plastic mole pops out and you whack it with all you got? Yeah, why did our parents let us play that game?! It’s weird and probably gave us all anger issues. It taught us to take out frustration on the tiny little mole that just wants to break out of its box. It also gave us other terribly cute ideas.
Like putting cats in a box and playing the game with these cuties.
Image Credit: Giphy
Yes, this is now a thing and we found the friskiest, cutest, most squeal-inducing cats available for your benefit. If you’re prone to squealing like a little girl when you see cute things, I recommend you take a seat and have a drink handy for this one. But it still leads us all to one question…
Can I wash my yoga pants as infrequently as I wash my jeans? Asking for a friend…
Laundry is my least favorite chore. I can deal with cooking (because I like to eat) and cleaning (because I like being organized), but I cannot tolerate laundry. As soon as I think I’m done, there’s always more waiting for me. It’s like these dirty clothes sneak up behind me and latch onto my back.
Image Credit: Giphy
If you’re like me, you have piles of laundry hiding in the corners of your closet. I know you love wearing those comfy yoga pants, but how many wears can you go without washing them?
According to Dierdre Hooper, M.D., a dermatologist at Audubon Dermatology in New Orleans, it turns out we should be washing those yoga pants after each wear. “Bacteria and yeast will rub off on your clothes while you wear them, especially if they’re tight-fitting,” she says. “Many of those bacteria will still be on those clothes the next day—possibly in higher number if they’ve multiplied, which they can do even when the clothes are dry.”
If you put those pants on for a second wear without a wash, you run the risk of introducing new bacteria to your skin. It increases the likelihood of developing skin infection and irritation.
But wait, it gets worse…
Hooper also recommends washing your jeans after each wear. Apparently, the same bacteria that rubs onto your yoga pants can also end up on your jeans. She says you should at least toss them in the dryer for twenty minutes after a day of wearing them. So, wearing your jeans for three months straight without a wash is apparently not advised by the medical professionals.
Additionally, another reason we should be frequently washing our pants is do to a little thing called odor fatigue. If you sweat in your clothes and that sweat dries, you may not smell it if you perform the ever popular sniff test. However, once you start sweating in those clothes again, they’ll smell two times worse than normal. In conclusion kiddies, wash those pants more often.
There’s nothing more exciting than getting to dress up with friends on Halloween, and go door-to-door collecting candy all night. It might be hard work lugging around a 20 lb. pillowcase full of treats, but at the end of the night you know you’ll get to binge on your favorite candies, and fall asleep in a sugar-induced coma.
That is, until you realize that half of your loot isn’t even made of sugar. Here are the top 10 worst things you could ever find in your trick-or-treat bag at the end of Halloween.
The achilles heal of most kids trying to get out of trouble is that they can never keep their story straight. However, this little girl, Sophia seems to be a master fibber- and a creative one at that.
After being caught painting her Barbie doll with blue nail polish, Sophia insists that Barbie told her ‘a hundred times’ to paint her nails.
When Sophie’s dad comes in to talk to her about painting her Barbie with blue nail polish, she immediately explains that Barbie told her to do it.

“She said it a hundred times, and I’d be saying no,” Sophia sniveled.

No matter how many times her dad questioned what happened, and asked why she thought it would be a good idea, she impressively kept her story straight that Barbie told her to paint her with the nail polish.

The relationship we have with ourselves is the most important one we will have.
We often put this very important relationship on the back burner in our lives, thinking we can fill the void with everyone else.
These quotes will definitely make you think, and hopefully give you brand new insight into the relationship you have with yourself.
“We are always on our guard against contagious diseases of the body, but we are exasperatingly careless when it comes to the even more dangerous collective diseases of the mind.” – Carl Jung
“Sometimes the relationship you need to rescue is the one you have with yourself.” – Dr. Phil
“Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.” – Robert Holden
“What holds most people back isn’t the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves. You have to live your life as if you are already where you want to be.” – Russell Simmons
“It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” – Patrick Rothfuss

“Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it’s dark.” – Zen Proverb
“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.” – Anaïs Nin
“Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothings others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.” – Don Miguel
“You have to keep recycling yourself.” – Chuck Palahniuk
“It is easier to live through someone else than to complete yourself. The freedom to lead and plan your own life is frightening if you have never faced it before. It is frightening when a woman finally realizes that there is no answer to the question ‘who am I’ except the voice inside herself.” – Betty Friedan
“Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.” – Dr. Alexis Carrel

“It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others.” – Sidney J. Harris
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known.” – Chuck Palahniuk
“Whatever you believe about yourself on the inside is what you will manifest on the outside.” – Unknown
“You are as amazing as you let yourself be. Let me repeat that. You are as amazing as you let yourself be.” – Elizabeth Alraune
“Often romantic relationships fail because you are trying to get someone to fall in love with the YOU that you never discovered.” – Shannon L. Alder
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob Moawad

“The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.” – Rita Mae Brown
“When you’re unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. And you get to take yourself oh so very seriously. Your truly happy people, which is to say, your people who truly like themselves, they don’t think about themselves very much. Your unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwellin’ on himself and start payin’ attention to the universe. Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence.” – Tom Robbins
“Taking care of yourself is one of the hardest jobs — don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s much easier to take care of others.” – Charity Shumway
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.” – Shannon L. Alder
“When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.” – Joel Osteen

you have the answer;
you know who you are
