Hello Holidays!

Christmas lights, cozy blankets, movies, and family time are just a few of my favorite things when it comes to the holidays!

Hello Holidays!
Bazaar Gadgets

The holidays are finally approaching! This is ALWAYS my favorite time of the year simply because I enjoy family time, warm drinks, cool weather, fun fashion styles, sweets (but that is quite the norm for me), Christmas music, and so much more! Let's face it, I'm a holiday person...quite a bit. Something about seeing Christmas lights, decorations, and smelling the aromas of coffee and baked goods makes my heart feel full and warm.

I think this time of year is perfect to go out and find some fun things to do! Personally, I love seeing Christmas lights, shopping for gifts, enjoying a warm lunch, or even enjoying a coffee date with friends. Spending time with family is also something I enjoy doing as well. Sharing laughs, hugs, and smiles always soothes my soul. You can always find things to be thankful for when it comes to family and being with them.

Something I keep telling myself is that when I have my own house it will probably look like the north pole and I am totally okay with that. Decorating is a must. If I don't get to do it I will go crazy. Period.

Oh and let's not forget about snuggling up with a cozy blanket and watching Christmas movies when it is too chilly to go out and about! One movie I am really excited to watch this year is Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors which will be on NBC at 9/8c, November 30th. If you love her as much as I do, you won't want to miss this heartwarming movie based on her childhood!

There are so many fun activities you can do during the holidays and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I honestly could go on and on about the things I love during this time of year. If I did, this article would probably be twenty pages long. So for your benefit I shortened it to about one page. Please know this was not easy for this crazy holiday lovin' gal. If you love the holidays like me, then you will understand this. Anyway, enjoy these times with family and friends and make the most of it.

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.
