Ever see an adorable Pinterest "hack" and then think you could never pull that off? Here are some things anyone can do!

1. Make a succulent garden.

Succulents are the perfect plants for those of us who, let's face it, don't have the greenest thumb. Along with being absolutely adorable, they will make the perfect addition to any room.

2. Crayon Art

Crayon art is not only super relaxing but there isn't really a way to mess it up! All you need is a box of crayons, a canvas and a blowdryer.

3. Sharpie Mug

For this one, all you need is a plain mug and a sharpie. From there, freehand any saying or design and you have a perfectly unique mug to drink your coffee, tea or hot chocolate!

4. Tassel Pillow

Ever wanted to make your own throw pillow, but thought it would take to much effort? Not this one! Get some soft fabric, scissors and stuffing, and you can have a unique pillow in any shape you please.

5. Decorative Wall

This one is super easy and looks great for taking photos. All you do is take some streamers, and hang them from the ceiling close together against the wall in some pattern. Then, put some balloons in front of the wall, and you have a perfect photo booth!

6. Chalkboard Paint

Chalkboard paint can be found in a normal paint can or in a pen form. It is great to help get organized or give you a little space to doodle.

7. Washi Tape Calendar

Washi tape can be used practically anywhere to spruce it up, but it can also be very functional. Instead of running out to the store and buying a big calendar, use some post-it notes, washi tape and a ruler, and you can create the perfect calendar for any space.

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.

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.
