There's no question that staying home and crafting is almost every basic girl's dream. All those DIY crafts and fun weekend projects we see on Pinterest feed our souls and help us channel our inner Jessica Day!

So, what is my favorite craft you may ask? Well, anything that involves my Cricut!

What's a Cricut? You know...those super cool die cut machines you see in Michael's that are N E V E R on sale. Yeah, those ones! The ones with all the exciting vinyl and fabrics...those ones!

Sure, a Cricut is an investment, but it's an investment you will not regret.


So, why is this Cricut so great?

1. Can you say monogramming?

I'm not sure if you're as monogram obsessed as I am, but if you are...the Cricut is your new bestie.

2. Need a last minute gift?

Seriously, head to the Dollar Store, buy a stemless wine glass, throw on a cute quote, and call it a damn day!

3. Say hello to personalized t-shirts

This is my personal (no pun intended) perk! We have annual passes to Disney and you better believe we have custom shirts for every trip.

4. Really, say hello to personalized anything

Water bottle, phone cases, makeup bags, umbrellas...the list goes on and on.

5. Become an Etsy shop


For something you can do after work or on the weekends, it's a great way to earn some extra money...that you'll probably just buy more vinyl with.

6. Make cool stuff, sell it & donate that money


Find your cause and make things to give back. I've recently started making dog bandannas and donating what I earn from them to local dog rescues!

7. Need a wedding gift?

8. Party decorations


This is perfect for events of all kinds! Birthday parties for children and adults - the options are truly endless.

9. Getting married?

If you find yourself to be a crafty fiance, the Cricut might be just what you need! We've all seen those cute signs on Etsy; well, now you can make it and save some money.

10. Do you just want to craft?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
