Ladies, Guys Like Getting Flowers Too

Okay, not exactly roses but still, treat your man!

Any girl can admit: coming home to flowers or a surprise from your man is one of the greatest feelings ever.

He remembered which kind you like and was thinking about you! He was thinking about seeing you smile so much that he went to the store and picked them out just for you.

Or maybe it isn't flowers you like. Maybe he texted you that he wants to take you to your favorite restaurant this weekend, and you couldn't be more excited.

My boyfriend could surprise me with a box of raisins and my face would still look like:

It feels good knowing someone thought of you! Pick a memory, any memory, where your boyfriend bought you a random surprise or took you out to dinner. Now think: when's the last time you did something like that for him?

It's nice having someone take care of you all the time and go the extra mile to surprise you, so why wouldn't you want to do the same for your boyfriend?

I get it. A lot of guys are more traditional and want to make sure that you don't have to worry about a thing on dates, but it's okay to pay for dinner sometimes.

Tell your boyfriend you want to take him to his favorite restaurant, on you. Just explain how appreciative you are for everything he does for you and say that you want him to feel just as good as he makes you feel.

If you are going out of town or won't see him for a night, leave his favorite beer, snack and money for him to order dinner with a sweet note, letting him know how much he means to you.

Long distance? Send your man a care package with ALL of his favorite goodies: candy, snacks, socks, gas or restaurant gift cards.

We are so used to expecting men to pay for our dinner and surprise us with thoughtful gifts, yet we don't do the same for them. Just because your boyfriend may not want flowers, it doesn't mean you can't surprise him with a little something every once in a while to remind him that you think of him, too.

So ladies, make sure your boyfriend knows you appreciate him and surprise him! Don't just do it once every few months, make it a weekly thing. You should want to treat your man.

Pick him up breakfast, grab him the snacks he likes from the store and get that man some flowers!

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.
