10 Dates To Do With Your Significant Other During The Holidays

1. Build A Gingerbread House

Building gingerbread houses have been my favorite thing to during the holidays and it can be something to do with another person. You can either make one together or do a competition who can make the best one.

2. Ride Around And Look At Lights

Every town has that one house that always goes full out on the Christmas lights. Hop in your car and drive around.

3. Decorate Your Own House With Lights

You can always go to the story and get some lights and hang them on your own house. The feeling when you are done and your house looks awesome will be worth all the hard work.

4. Make Christmas Candles

Candles go hand and hand with Christmas but they can sometimes get expensive. You can always make your own with some wax and scents. It is a cute handmade touch to any home.

5. Decorate Your Christmas Tree Together

I know this may seem boring but it is a classic holiday tradition.

6. Have A Christmas Photoshoot

Get all dolled up and make some memories that will last forever.

7. Drink Eggnog and Watch Christmas Movies

Eggnog is super easy to make and goes perfectly with Christmas Movies.

8. Go Ice skating

It can either go really well or really bad. Depends on if you know how to skate or not but even if you don't it can make a laugh.

9. Make A Festive Pie

Pumpkin, chocolate, pecan, turtle, any type of pie you can think of.

10. Go Black Friday Shopping

Going Black Friday shopping is one of my favorite things to do over the holidays because there are some amazing deals. It is easier to fight the lines with two people instead of one.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
