DIY's Your Home Needs During The Holiday Season
Mountain Modern Life

It sort of comes naturally to American's for their love of the holiday seasons. So much time is spent decorating, shopping and even crafting for around the home and for close ones. If you enjoy the holidays and like to keep your spirits up throughout the stressful, yet cheerful months you need to invest in some of these DIYs for your home.

1) Decorative candles

These are for around the whole house as accents. Just something nice to look at though out the house with a holiday spin. You can choose what to put in the water and you can even add burlap rope or a bow for the outside!

2) Stuffed jars for centerpieces or accents

These are for centerpieces or for side tables and even for a window sill. You can stuff the jars with ornaments, bows, Christmas candies and even fake snow!

3) Decorative Christmas trees (yes, besides your big one)

These are for the mantle or other little places like corner shelves and what not. They're good for that area that just needs something when you're sitting there staring at an empty space.

4) Adorable signs with Christmas sayings or symbols.

You can use these for shelf decor or even replacing an old picture frame for the season. You can keep them PG depending on your household or spice it up and make it funny.

5) Personalized Christmas ornaments

These can really show your tree off with your own style. You can pick one theme or make a bunch of different ones and have fun with it. These are the ones you like to show off when company comes over.

6) Simple and sweet door wreaths

This isn't too much but also isn't too little. You may not have enough room for a huge wreath or just don't have the patience for more detail. You can also form other words!

7) A Christmas countdown chalkboard

Everyone needs this just to remind themselves how much close they are to having off of work, being out of school and being around their loved ones. You can jazz it up as much as you want and on whatever you want too because chalkboard paint is easy to put on anything.

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.
