Struggling with Christmas gifts? This will help!

Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide

As the holiday seasons begins, so does the scrambling to buy the perfect gift for everyone on your list. I definitely can understand the stress of not knowing what to get for people, so I put a little list together to make this easier for you. Especially, you college students who have to worry about Christmas shopping and finals all at once!

1. Candles

If your family is anything like mine then you guys have a yearly Pollyanna(Secret Santa), it can be one of the harder gift exchanges especially when you have to make sure the gift is over $25 and there's the chance that you'll get one of the family members you don't know much about. Candles are always a great answer, everyone loves them. They smell amazing and you can buy a cute little candle holder to go with them. In terms of brands I normally like to go with Yankee or Bath and Body.

2. Lush Products

If you don't know Lush, they're a cosmetics brand which uses either all vegetarian or vegan ingredients to make some amazing products. During this time of year, they start selling Christmas gift sets, so it's definitely one of the easier options to go with. You can even buy the individual products if you want. Among my favorite products are their, "Don't look at me" face mask and the "Snow Fairy" body wash.

3. Pick Me Up by Adam Kurtz

"A quirky and creative companion that offers a pick-me-up on every page. "
I recommend that everyone get one of these books because it's basically one of those fill-in books which, well, like it says offers a pick-me-up on every page.

4. Fluffy Blankets and Throws!

I absolutely love the texture on a fuzzy blanket, so of course it's my favorite thing to buy even if it's not for me! But in my mind, since I love them so much won't everyone else? I seriously love faux fur blankets, and even the rug in my dorm is faux fur. TJMaxx has some great faux fur options that are more affordable!

5. Aesthetically Pleasing Etsy "luxuries"

So as a fashion student who also spends every moment on social media, I definitely know the importance of using good merchandise that is also aesthetically pleasing. Why? So you can put it on Instagram! I certainly do that a lot which you can definitely see in my feed. There's actually a whole editor picks section on Etsy that's called, Little Luxuries, which showcases some of the more affordable luxe items that fit aesthetics immensely! I personally know quite a few people that I'll be looking at these gifts for!

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.
