Decorations To Spice Up Your Holidays
Photo Taken From Pinterest

Christmas is fast approaching. It's time for the Christmas decorations to come out, and some of us have been using the same decorations for the last 500 years. I would like for us to think about getting a little crazy with the decorations this year. Here are a couple things you might want to consider.


Mason Jar Snowscape

DIY things never turn out the way they are advertised on Pinterest, but I feel like it’s kind of impossible to botch this. They are so easy to make. All you need is some small pinecones, a jar, some doilies, some fake snow, and some string and voila! You got yourself some cute little things that would be perfect to have sprinkled around your living space.


Snowman Made of Wreaths

Are you tired of doing the same old things with your holiday wreaths? Are you ready to spice things up a bit? If you answered yes, then I think it’s time you made a snowman out of your wreaths!! Just take three wreaths of various sizes, and affix them to each other. You can even add some Christmas lights and a santa hat if you're feeling adventurous.


Obnoxious Amounts of Garland

Can’t have Christmas without garland, but you need a lot of it. Put it everywhere. Garland on the mantle. Garland in the doorways. Garland on your staircase, if you have one. Add some garland to your wardrobe if you're feeling crazy! Garland needs to be everywhere. Except the bathrooms. That might be a tad bit excessive. (Dog is optional).


This Thing!

I don’t even know what to call it, but I love it! Who knew that candle + wine glass + ornaments would be this cute? I didn’t. You probably didn’t either. But hey, you learn something new everyday.


Christmas Tree

I mean, obviously. Now, you can’t go wrong with the classic pine Christmas tree. But since we’re all about spicing it up this holiday season, why don't you try a hanging tree!

I don’t know the layout of your house so I can’t tell you where to put it, but it would probably be best to put it above a table or a carpeted area. And obviously if you have a hanging tree, you can still have a normal full sized tree.


Consider jazzing up your holiday season with these ideas, and if you would like more ideas like these, you can visit pinterest.com.

Happy Holidays!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
