What to Get This Father's Day
Erin Eaton

My father is a very hard man to shop for. He's into racing cars, running, and his Doberman. He's also one of those people that buys everything that he needs at the time he needs it, so no one else has a chance to buy it for him. I always ask him for ideas for Father's Day, but, like every other dad, he says, "Nothing." So if your dad is like mine and he never gives any hints, here are a some gift ideas for your stubborn father.

If your dad is athletic try some of these small but handy gifts:

1. Running Arm Band


2. Fitbit


My dad really loves his Fitbit Charge HR. For him, it's about tracking his activity and heart rate. Different versions of the Fitbit track different things like: sleep, heart rate, steps taken, miles walked, calories burned, and stairs climbed.

3. Oakley Sunglasses


Be careful with these! They are quite expensive, so don't lose them in the ocean like my dad did!

If your dad is more technologically advanced than you, here are some cool gadgets:

1. Power Cube

The gift that keeps on giving for everyone in the family!

2. AERIX Drones

If your dad has an inner child, here you go!

3. Dancing Water Speakers


4. PlayDate


Wonder what your pets do while you're not at home? Now you can, with a ball that has a built in camera.

For stylish dads:

1. Fossil Watch


2. Cufflinks

3. Yeti LowBall

With this, your dad can make mixed drinks on the rocks with the cup that will keep his drink cold for hours!

There are all types of dads. These are just some ideas. There is something out there for every father on their special day! Amazon and Ebay are great websites to get a great deal for whatever you decide to purchase this Father's Day. Remember that it's the thought and love that counts. Don't worry about its being perfect, because I'm sure he will appreciate it all. He loves you, after all.

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.
