How to Live Life to the Fullest

Some of my favorites:

1. Live in the moment. Forget the past and don’t concern yourself with the future.

4. Learn to forgive and embrace unconditional love.

5. Live every day as if it’s your last, embracing each experience as if it’s your first.

13. Pray, forgive yourself, appreciate others, listen to your gut, do things you enjoy, and remind yourself that we are all loved and connected.

20. Keep your spirit free, be flexible, let go.

27. Just be.

30. Follow your hopes and not your fears.

To add my own:

31. "I want you to remember to celebrate your victories." - Daniel "Burning Dan" Gordon-Levitt (1974-2010). Celebrate every victory you have, whether it is big or small

Clothing Stores

Simple Tip #2 Supplement: Clothing Stores

The following is a list of stores where you can buy quality items or items that have a fair price:

American Eagle

Anthropologie

Forever 21

Target

TJ Maxx

Nordstrom Rack

Nordstrom

Bloomingdales

Cotton On

H&M

Quality that Lasts:

• Anthropologie
• American Eagle
• Nordstrom
• Nordstrom's Rack
• Bloomingdales
• TJ Maxx

Fair Price:

• American Eagle
• Forever 21
• Target
• Nordtrom's Rack
• Cotton On
• TJ Maxx
• H&M

You always have to be careful in choosing items from the fair price list that aren't included on the quality list. Especially with Forever 21. You have to look at the tag to see if its made of quality material (i.e. Cotton) so that it will be worth the price. I avoided putting Urban Outfitters up, because while it has a few worthy items, a majority of what's made for the company is made from polyester or synthetic fabrics or its really just not worth the price tag.
