Life is like a box of chocolates... and everyone loves chocolate!

With February right around the corner, the isles of your local supermarket are beginning to be filled shelf-to-shelf with your favorite romantic gifts from promise rings to giant teddy bears! And what does every guy and gal have in common around Valentine's day? They all want that special someone to snuggle up next to and exchange gifts with! But what exactly is the perfect gift to show someone you love them? Well, while everyone would reply to this question differently, I know one man who knows exactly what everyone wants this holiday season!

Now, while not all of us are fortunate enough to have a significant other during this time it is important to remember to treat yourself during the holidays! Self-love is just as important! And trust me when I say you deserve to be just as happy as everyone else! So grab that giant teddy bear and don't be ashamed to admit that you love you! And while you're at it, take a look at these 5 Valentine's gifts what Forrest Gump would definitely approve of!

1. Chocolate Roses


What says love more than chocolate hand crafted into a perfectly formed rose that you can then destroy with your mouth? Just be sure to remove the tin foil! Not that I have ever had any trouble with that…


2. Personalized M&Ms

We all have dreamed of a day where we could bite into a piece of candy with our faces printed on it and now that day is here! Oh, and you can write sweet little notes if you want too or whatever.

1. Giant Hershey's Bar


5 LBs of chocolate... need I say more? If this candy bar doesn't put you into a comatose of happy then I don't know what will.

3. Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolate

Let's be honest, these chocolates will just sit on a shelf until they expire so you can occasionally look at how beautifully molded they are but hey, nothing says, "I love you," more than the constant internal battle of whether or not to eat all the chocolate at once.

5. Assorted Elegant Heart

Then there is the classic assortment of chocolates where you never quite know what you're going to get and sometimes you get the coconut ones and cry a little inside but sometimes... just sometimes you get the raspberry filling and it reassures you that everything is going to be okay and that is what love is.

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.
