In This Article:

Growing up means trading out the wishlist from Barbies and Hot Wheels to cookware and protective phone cases. #Adulting is not as easy as it seems, my friends. So, this means Christmas is the best time to ask for all of the things that you wish you could buy, but you know you could live without because your car needs an oil change and you need to restock the fridge.

For the adult you blossoming inside, here are some things that you may realize have popped on your subconscious Christmas wishlist.

1. Instant Pot

A CrockPot that basically does it all and more? Where has this been my entire life?

2. Air Fryer

I need this so I can feel a little bit better about stuffing my mouth with all of the fried foods I can find in my kitchen.

3. Trader Joe’s Gift Card

Need I say more?

With the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, I am definitely going to need a coffee...or two...or three. Maybe four.

5. Spotify/Apple Music Subscription

Do I want a break from the ads? I really really do.

6. (Another) Hydroflask

These days, water is one of the only things that keeps me going. Wherever I go, my Hydro goes. And vice versa.

7. Tasty Cookbook

Okay, I follow every single Tasty account that I could possibly follow, along with its affiliates. I deserve to become an official owner of the Tasty cookbook.

8. Popcorn on the Cob

I mean, come on.

9. Otterbox Phone Case

Because at the moment, my phone is currently protected with a $2 phone case. Everyday is Russian roulette.

10. Essential Oil Diffuser

Aromatherapy? Sign me up.

11. Tasty Cooking Kit

(To match my cookbook!) I NEED this to pursue my dream of becoming a cook for Tasty. That’s really it. Oh, and it comes with an apron.

12. iRobot Roomba

https://www.homedepot.com/p/iRobot-Roomba-675-Wi-Fi-Connected-Robot-Vacuum-Cleaner-R675020/305970984

If I am going to be honest, this has been on my wishlist since 8th grade.

13. Phone Sanitizer

Did you know your phone has more germs than a public toilet? Yeah, so you can see why this is necessary.

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.
