Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! This year has been a big one for new gadgets and products that make for perfect Christmas gifts, and after surveying some of the gifts I have seen under the tree today, I have chosen 8 of the hottest Christmas presents of this year.

1. Patagonia clothing.

This one is kind of a no-brainer. A classic gift - you can never go wrong with a Patagonia jacket. Although this is a classic, I would still say it holds its place in the top 8 hottest gifts, just because of how darn great Patagonia products are.

2. Beats.

Beats have come into play somewhat recently. Big headphones were out of style for many years - but thanks to Beats they have made their comeback. These great headphones have some serious comfort levels and produce great sound, saving your ears from the irritating pain of earbuds.

3. Name Necklaces.

A bit of a trend this year is to wear your name loud and proud on a necklace for everyone to see. A great site to find these necklaces are "MyNameNecklace.com", which provides many different styles and fonts to appeal to whoever will receive this fabulous gift.

4. Speakers.

Speakers are a great gift for anyone, young and old. One that I received this year is this mini speaker from Etekcity. Along with the speaker comes an aux cord that you plug into your phone and a charging cable with a USB port. Easily charged, this speaker is great for on the go - and even makes for a good stocking stuffer.

5. Sports Tickets.

Unless you aren't a sports fan, tickets for your favorite team for you and a loved one is a perfect gift. If you aren't materialistic, getting a gift for you and someone to do something together is a perfect alternative. Hopefully they have some good sales during the holidays!

6. Virtual Reality Headsets.

Unless you live under a rock, you'll know that these virtual reality headsets are all the hype this year. Put on a pair of these bad boys and you'll feel like you're in a totally different place. Talk about a cool gift if plane tickets are too much to spend!

7. Fitbits.

Another gift that is all the craze. With a Fitbit, you can track your steps during the day, total distance traveled, sleep rate, heart rate, flights climbed, and calories. You can even compete in competitions with friends who also have Fitbits. These little gadgets are a perfect way to stay fit while having fun with it.

8. iPad Air.

If you have an older relative who is hesitant about technology and doesn't want to deal with the hassle of a laptop or computer, an iPad is the perfect solution. With easy access to e-mails, the internet, a camera, and messaging, anyone who is hesitant to try out an iPad shouldn't even worry.

Those were the 8 gifts that I thought to be the hottest gifts of Christmas this year! I would bet that you or someone you know might have given or even received one of these gifts this year. Have fun with your new gifts and Happy Holidays!!

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.

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.
