Holiday Gift Guide For Everybody In Your Life
Urban Outfitters 2012

It's that special time of the year again, folks! Every time the leaves drop and the temperature plummets for the first time, the stress of picking out some great presents always sneaks up on you. Before you know it, Black Friday came and went and you realize that it's time to get your stuff together! Hopefully this gift guide will take some of that stress off of you, whether buying for your best friend or your dad. Happy Holidays!

Girl Friends and Sisters

  1. Tis’ the season, am I right? Comfy pajama pants or shorts are always useful year round, but they’re especially good to cozy up with this holiday season. Check out the great flannel pants that Aerie is offering now.
  2. If you live somewhere cold like me, bundling up is very necessary. If you’ve got to do it, then you might as well look cute! Buy your friend or sister some cute cold weather accessories like a blanket scarf, a fuzzy hat, or some nice boot socks. Francesca's has a great selection!
  3. Mantra bands are not only a super stylish gift, but also very encouraging. They come in three different metal colors and you can pick between dozens of life mottos to keep your friend or sister inspired on the daily.

Guy Friends and Brothers

  1. Every guy has a different style, but sweatshirts come in so many different styles that you’re sure to find one that he’ll love. Stores like Urban Outfitters even has a “Gift Guide For Him” page on their website that offers some great ideas. This Adidas sweatshirt from Urban is comfortable and will keep your guy up with the trends.
  2. Herschel wallets have a great look and are so practical. Any guy would be happy to get this as a gift from you! Plus, there are so many different styles, sizes, and colors to choose from.
  3. Socks sound like such a typical, dreaded present but I promise they can be a great gift to give! At stores like Topman you can find a ton of awesome patterns that guys will love for a great deal, such as this 3 for $15.

Mothers

  1. Moms always work so hard, so buying them a gift card for a nail salon, massage, or spa would be very appreciated and offer them a great escape from the usual madness of life.
  2. Kendra Scott necklaces are very trendy yet super classy and good for everyday wear, which is why they would make a perfect gift for your mother. There are so many different colors and stone types you can choose from, too!
  3. After a long day of doing what moms do, they should be able to wind down with a big, comfy throw blanket. There are so many to choose from but the ones from Anthropologie have my heart! You can also check out Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, and Kohl's for some more great options!

Fathers

  1. This is a little more on the pricer side, but it’s well worth the money! The Tile is a keychain and app that helps you find your keys if you misplace them, which my dad seems to do quite often.
  2. Men have to stay warm too, so getting your dad a comfy hat or beanie for the colder weather will be very practical and appreciated.
  3. Give your father the gift of style and protection by getting them a nice phone case! This gift is underrated because it’s not only very important to have, but you know they’ll use it everyday. Nordstrom has some great options for men’s phone cases.

Significant Others

  1. Watches are really nice quality and thoughtful gifts, so they’re perfect for a significant other! They come in a wide price range so you’re sure to find one that works for you. Nordstrom has great choices, as well as Daniel Wellington, Fossil, Guess and Urban Outfitters.
  2. Perfume or cologne is not only a great gift for your significant other, but for you too since you’re the one smelling them all the time. So, It’s a win win! Sephora has the best options and variety, but you can usually find the same one’s on Amazon as well so make sure to check that out!
  3. Personally, I think Homemade gifts are the way to go because they’re so sentimental and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time and thought into their gift. Pinterest is the DIY haven, so you’re sure to find a ton of great gift ideas there.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
