A great gift during the holidays, especially if you're on a budget, is baked goods. Here is a list of easy sweets you can make!

1. Hugs.

Cooking Classy

A simple stack of a pretzel, a Hershey's kiss, topped with an M&M. These are the perfect blend of sweet and salty. Throw a handful of them in a holiday bag, add a ribbon and a to/from note and you're all set.

2. Fudge.

Art and the Kitchen

This is a great dessert that you could give out any time of the year. There are so many different flavors of fudge you can make that it would be the perfect gift year-round. This candy cane fudge would be great for this holiday season!

3. Candied almonds.

The Chunky Chef

I find that adults love getting candied almonds. They are so simple to make and it's such a great dessert for someone who doesn't really eat dessert. These vanilla cinnamon candied almonds are great!

4. Cookies.

Sally's Baking Addiction

You can never go wrong with giving out cookies. Like fudge, there are so many different types of cookies you can make. For the holidays you could make something classic like gingerbread cookies or something unique like these maple cinnamon star cookies.

5. Christmas crack.

Little Sweet Baker

I remember a family making this and giving it to mine when I was younger. This is such a simple recipe that anyone can make. Another great mixture of salty and sweet!

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.
