As the holidays are fast approaching, so is the need to go out and get gifts. Although there are many great gifts out there, there are many companies that give back to the community through your purchases. Here are just a few:

1. Ivory Ella

Ivory Ella donates a portion of every purchase to savetheelephants.org and other organizations. In over the year that they have been a business, over $700K have been donated.

2. Lush Charity Pots

Not only are all LUSH products cruelty-free, meaning none of the products are tested on animals, a lot of them are vegan too! This gift is great for lotion lovers because it leaves your hands super silky smooth; but also, 100% of the price goes back to small organizations that work for environmental conservation, animal welfare and human rights.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side.

An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker.

A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
