5 Gifts For This Holiday Season

It's time to start your holiday shopping! With Christmas and Hanukkah fast approaching it is time to hit the stores and buy gifts for your family and friends. You might be wondering, "What do I buy them?" which is completely okay. Holiday shopping is one of the hardest things to do because you want to get them something that they would actually use, but do not already have. Here is my list of gifts that I believe anybody could use and would love to have. Check it out and maybe add some to your list this year!

1. Phone charger cables. This one may seem a little silly, but is really handy. Extra phone charger cables is so useful no matter what type of phone you have. I have an iPhone and my charging cable breaks every few months. It's nice to have an extra one on hand in case it does break and you need a new one. You can buy them basically anywhere too. CVS, Rite Aid, Apple, Best Buy, online, etc. has them available for purchase.

2. Visa Gift Card. These things are really great. You can use them at any store that accepts Visa and anywhere online. Unlike American Express gift cards, they do not charge an activation fee so you're only paying for the amount that you want to put on the card. These are a great alternatives for a store/restaurant gift card because the person can use the card anywhere, it does not limit them to one place.

3. Netflix subscription. Netflix and chilling is amazing. Ever since Netflix was invented, lazy days have been taken to a whole different level. Binge watching your favorite shows has never been easier. For one person to screen Netflix it costs $7.99/month, two screens at once costs $9.99/month, and four screens will cost $11.99/month. Netflix unlimited streaming subscription cost about $7.99 per month.

4. Board games. Board games are a great idea for rainy days, nights in, power outages, family bonding, etc. Some of my favorite board games include Monopoly, Scrabble, Uno, Clue and Pictionary. Board games are fun for all ages and never get old.

5. Gift basket. Give your loved one or friend a gift basket of all their favorite foods/candies/etc. This is a creative gift that is pretty easy to make and a gift that they'll be sure to love. Throw a mix of their favorite things in a basket and make it pretty.

I hope this list helps you with your shopping this year! You don't need to spend a ton of money to make a gift special. Remember, all that matters is that the gift came from the heart. I hope you have a happy holiday season and get some of the gifts that you wanted!

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.

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.
