If your friends or family members practically live at the gym, share muscle selfies on Facebook or meal prep their entire life (and share it on their Instagram story), you need to start planning now for the perfect gift. From the best protein powder to the newest jump rope, look no further than Amazon and this list for your gym rats this holiday season.

1. FitBit Charge 2 

If your gym rat friend DOESN'T have a Fitbit or fitness tracker yet, are they really a gym rat? The Fitbit Charge 2 with Heart Rate can help to maximize your friend's workouts while tracking your entire life, from sleep habits to hydration.

2. WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope

This is the fitness item your gym rat friend never knew they needed - a speed jump rope. Your friend can totally relate when the gym jump ropes are just not up to par at the gym. They'll be jumping double-unders at lightning speed with this fun tool!

3. Gaiam Yoga Mat

For the yogi in your life (or someone you think needs to relax), a yoga mat is the perfect gift. Gaiam yoga mats are affordable and unique.

4. Snackmaster Dehydrator

This unique contraption is a food dehydrator. Your friend or family member can dehydrate fruit and veggies to make their very own (healthy) chips!

Is your friend ever practicing yoga and slip around from all the sweat on the mat? These non-slip socks are perfect for hot-yoga lovers and pair perfectly with a new yoga mat.

6. Multi-Style Headband

These fitness headbands are extremely cute and pull away your hair for when the workout session gets serious. Also, your gym rat friend can use this when they're not at the gym (which is almost never) as a chic hair piece.

7. REEHUT Durable Ankle/Wrist Weights

This is a hidden gem of a gift because, more than likely, your friend hasn't thought of this before. Ankle/wrist weights can immediately elevate someone's workout. The weights can be inserted or removed depending on their skill level.

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.

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.
