Life is hard, and many of us sometimes suffer from anxiety, stress or depression caused by different negative situations. There are different ways to cheer you up and the best one is love. If you don’t have friends or loved ones around, get a companion pet! Discover the best dog breeds that can help you fight depression. Who knows, maybe you will want to adopt one!

1. Pug. This portable little friend is extremely adorable! Pugs have a very positive attitude and inquisitive nature, and if you have a big family – this dog is for you. Pugs love to communicate both with people and other doggies, keeping track of anything its owner does. Look at those big irresistible eyes! No doubt, this dog was born to love.

2. Labrador retriever is #1 dog for those who suffer from anxiety issues. This dog has a very loyal character, is easy to train and it can fully understand its owner. Labrador retrievers are usually non-aggressive, the dog loves children and children adore them in return! That’s why, most big families choose this breed. However, this is a large dog breed and it requires more space, so make sure your home is big enough for your friend’s needs.

3. Poodle. Another good friend for your family, it is very active and adaptable. Poodles love company, fun and motion, and hate staying alone, so you won’t be bored with it. Another good thing about Poodles is that they have a pretty long lifespan. Some Toy Poodles can even live up to 20 years! No matter the size, Poodles are always up for a game, but if you have little children, it is better to choose a standard size puddle, because they respect and tolerate babies the best.

4. Jack Russell Terrier is a small hunting dog, but this fact doesn’t stop it from being a good friend and a popular dog among households. It is full of enthusiasm, energy and charisma. The dog is a strong runner and chaser – ideal sport companion for you and your high-energy family. Once you get a Jack Russell Terrier as your new friend, you will fall for its shiny, full of life eyes!

5. Vizsla. This dog is considered to be very loyal, sensitive and friendly. It is extremely athletic and active, and fits people who have active lifestyles and love adventure. This beautiful and smart doggy is always ready for your love and attention and will love you back. Considering their love of action, Vizslas need more space so they should be kept in big homes.

6. French bulldog. This cute guy will provide you with an unstoppable treatment against depression. It is portable and low maintenance, but muscular and a heavy bone dog breed. It can adapt to almost any environment. A French bulldog is not very noisy, so you can keep it in your apartment without any risk. Always full of love and devotion, this endearing dog will celebrate your returning home from work with its excitement and tail wagging. How can you resist this one?!

To be honest, I can’t express all the feelings for my faithful 16-years old friend Penelope. It’s a small, mixed-breed dog with a big heart, which can lift my mood any minute and make me forget about everything negative. If you’re still not sure about adopting a friend, think about how much happiness and love it can bring when you’re down! But don’t forget that every dog needs care and specific treatment. You love and care for them and they return it 10-fold. Enjoy your canine companion!

During the last year we all saw, ‘liked’ and followed a lot of new posts, and groups and boards on Pinterest that brought the new style trends to the forefront and of course gave us daily doses of joy and inspiration. By the way the visual discovery tools are now the way we are getting our mood and emotional fulfillment these days. Our social network account gives us a huge, robust creative freedom and in effect becomes our personal media platform, allowing us to showcase how deeply we are committed to our various interests. Nevertheless there were some talented people (applause please!) who caused the whole world to go absolutely crazy-nuts for them! They continue to gain greater notice while you are reading this article! Let’s not waste time. You now are going to be getting acquainted with the top 3 communities that are currently boosting our day-to-day societal mood and giving us our socio-cultural marching orders. The Herbeauty team is not an exception. We admit we have weak flesh and that these folks stagger us with their posts and we are constantly giving a “thumbs up”. These movements are the trendsetters in our ever-changing world and you gotta know about them. Here we go!

1. Lambersexual or Lambers

You can find them with hash tags like:
#beard
#urbanguy
#lamber
#hotbeard
#lamberssexuals

They are the ones girls say ‘Arrr’ while surfing through out on their social networks accounts. They are the bartenders at the luxurious bar spots, they’re the top managers, they’re leading IT-brain boxes, they’re designers and singers. Honestly these major stunners are everywhere. And we know you’re the one (just like us) who are among their fan club. Even if you don’t admit this fact we know it’s impossible not to fall in love with them. So please keep calm my darlings and continue to dream about the date (or…maybe already the next one) with one of those lamber-stud muffins.

Take a glance at the top signs he’s L-A-M-B-E-R-S-E-X-U-A-L:

– He’s essentially an urban woodsman or the hipster-outdoorsman hybrid;
– He has a slightly unruly and absolutely impressive beard;
– He has a lot of smart and sexy tats. All of his ink has really deep meaning and even a long story of how it came about. Just ask him and you’ll understand what we’re talking about.
– He’s dressed up like a lumberjack. His must-haves are: the expensive flannel and a pair of jeans that looks like they are at least 15 years old but sure enough he has bought it 2 hours ago at a very hipsterish showroom;
– He drinks whiskey. Ok…the traditional ‘Old Fashioned’ at the very least;
– The selfless, almost puppy like-look with a tough yet damn sexy facial expression is necessary;
– The old book with yellow pages is his essential that he’s immensely proud of. By the way he has a million book bones at his ‘Kindle’. Half of them he knows by heart;
– He doesn’t like the flannel shirt just for style. He really loves chilling outdoors;
– He is a fan of deep-house music;
– He never forgets to wear his leather boots;
– You’ll probably catch him next to his Macbook Pro;
– He’s in love with big black-cell glasses;
– Ask him to have a cup of coffee. Bet he will order the latte.;

2. Twee Girls
– Tweens?
– No, I’m Twee (the capitalizing is essential here)
– Oh, okay. Hipsters?
– NO! TWEE! It’s a new movement.

You can find them with a help of tags:
#theverytwee
#daisytwee
#thatweegirl
#thetweedles
#thetwee
#twee

Are you knowing and in trend with a new revolution? Or you’re one of the poor unfortunates whose not aware of who these mysterious ‘tweedles’ really are? The twee-ness is as much an attitude as it is a way of life. These girls have a nostalgic and whimsical air around themselves. They look like they’ve come through a time warp from the Woody Allen movies of the 70′s and 80′s and arrived in our space with a totally cool outlook. Their behavior is focused on the essential goodness, sweetness and romantic factors in life.

You’re probably the Twee Princess if:

– 80% of your dresses are stolen from your granny’s wardrobe;
– You listen to Indian music with your eyes closed;
– You sound off against sexism and homophobia;
– You are a real fan of all things vintage and retro;
– You think Audrey Hepburn is an icon of style and Women’s beauty;
– You like the Miu Miu and Markus Lupfer brands;
– You’re more than sentimental. The tissue box is always next to you to help absorb those buckets of tears;
– you’ve seen all of Wes Anderson’s movies;
– Your friends call you the ‘Super-Dreamy-Creamy-Petite-Princess’;
– You probably use your Twee fame to promote un-promotable bands;
– You go to bed before 11 P.M.;
– These words are you life’s motto and official tag line: ‘Defend the vulnerable! Be strong!’

These dudes of note do nothing but read good books on a park bench or near the subway, and drink high end coffee; surely their big three trademarks. They usually have trendy gadgets, smile like an Olympian God and keep on faithfully leading their four-legged buddies around – those oh, so cute puppies and dogs that make us bite our lower lip and make our heart go pitter-patter!

Here is a short guide to recognizing them:
– His dog is even cuter that he is. As a rule the pet is one your dream breeds (the one we all say ‘Awwwww’ when it passes by): the Pug, the Beagle, the Labrador, the Pei;
– He doesn’t hesitate to show off his triceps holding the dog in his arms;
– His body is simply perfect;
– He is well shaven;
– He wears ripped jeans and white t-shirts;
– He has a few pairs of nice slippers;
– They’re jogging together. He and his pup of course (it will last until you join their perfect match, believe us)
– He buys the expensive accessories, fresh meals and the best beauty treatments for his pet (OMG girls, OMG);
– He likes to go for a walk and wears the same colored outfit as his four-legged friend;
– He knows all too well that he makes girls drool. But when he’s out-and-about he always stays innocent and indifferent and oh so cool

It’s a sad day for romance movie and novel enthusiasts because the reigning king of the genre has bad news! Prepare yourselves, Nicholas Sparks fans because this would change things.

Nicholas and his wife, Cathy have announced their separation. After being married for 25 years and inspiring his many romantic novels including “The Notebook”, “A Walk to Remember”, and “The Longest Ride”.

“Cathy and I have separated,” revealed the writer to PEOPLE magazine. “This is, of course, not a decision we’ve made lightly. We remain close friends with deep respect for each other and love for our children. For our children’s sake, we regard this as a private matter.”

Of course we hope that they get through this process and come out in a better place. We need Nicholas to come back and be able to write more love stories. So what should he do in order to recover? When I’m feeling heartbreak I have to admit that I might turn to The Notebook. It’s just so beautiful and gives you hope.

We gathered 13 of Nicholas Sparks’ best love quotes that might bring him some comfort— just like how they have done for us.

“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”

“I’ll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can’t see it…but I can feel it.”

“People come, people go—they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures.”

“Without suffering, there’d be no compassion.”

“Always listen to your heart, because even though it’s on your left side, it’s always right.”

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.”

“If we’d never met, I think I would have known my life wasn’t complete. And I would have wanderd the world in search of you, even if I didn’t know who I was looking for.”

“We’re not perfect. Any of us. We make mistakes, we screw up but then we forgive and move forward.”

“It’s the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.”

“Be wary of who you pretend to be, you might forget who you really are.”

“Sometimes, finding the light means you must past though the deepest darkness.”

“Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it can.”

“Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.”
