Business cards offer the perfect snapshot of your business – in one small square, they can highlight your contact information, describe what you offer, share your webpage, and more. What's even better than a regular business card are unique business cards that think outside of the box and make your company unforgettable.

While many companies such as Vistaprint and MOO offer free business card templates, these are usually pretty generic and lack a little something in the creativity department.

If you want to really stand out, it's well worth the investment to shell out a little cash for custom business cards that will set you apart from everyone else.

1. Edge-Painted

Make your business cards stand out with a small pop of color around that edge to make it easily recognizable in a pile.

2. Clear

Stand out by not standing out; a transparent plastic business card gives a more modern feel to your business card while being more durable than paper.

3. Edible

Everyone loves a snack and a business card that doubles as a quick-me-up will definitely leave an impression. Just make sure to write down the contact info first!

4. Accented

A bit of color or an embossed design will add a pretty spin to an otherwise low-key card. The result is simple yet elegant.

5. Plantable

Yes, you read that right -- you can actually have business cards made that can be planted! Great for environmentally friendly companies or for those with a green thumb.

6. Tool

Some businesses want functionality along with their contact info; keeping these business cards in your wallet not only keeps the info handy but ensure you have a helpful little tool on hand as well! A variety of options are available including rulers, letter openers, money clip, can opener, bottle cap opener and more!

7. Unconventional Shape

A business card in the shape of what you sell in bright colors will be hard to forget anytime soon. The best part? The possibilities are endless! Cars, cupcakes, shoes, jewelry -- if you can think of it, it can be a card!

8. Stencil Cut-Out

Whether it's words or your logo, a stencil cut-out is sure to stand out.

9. Slide-Out

A slide-out card adds a whimsical touch that's not seen very often. The sleeve or cover also has the added bonus of providing protection to make sure your card doesn't get dirty or damaged.

10. Metal

Besides being sturdy, the sleek contemporary look of a metal finish will elevate your level of professionalism.

Customize your card and have fun!

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.

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.
