Are you lazy? A procrastinator? Just haven't gotten in the holiday spirit yet? No worries! These quick and easy Pinterest decorating ideas will get your house looking festive in no time.

1. Window Ornaments

Get some simple ornaments and tie them to either ribbon or fishing line. Attach that to some garland and hang it across the window. It's a cute and easy to way to decorate your windows.

2. Door Snowman

Use construction paper to cut out some circles and a large triangle. Then use wrapping paper to make a scarf. Attach everything with tape or another adhesive that can be easily removed.

3. Glitter Tree Jars

The pictures kind of say it all. You could use different colors to mix it up!

4. Candle Holders

Stuff some ornaments under a few wine glasses. Place candles on top. It's literally that easy, and you can color-code however you want.

5. Giant Wrapped Peppermint

Again, the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. Just get a paper plate and color it with a red marker to look like a peppermint. Then cover it with a transparent sandwich bag and tie the ends with some ribbon. You could also tape these to stakes to stick in your yard!

6. Giant Presents on the Wall

Wrap some pizza boxes, put a bow on them, and hang those bad boys up!

7. Christmas Tree Napkins

If you want to decorate your dinner plates, this is an awesome idea! Simply follow the steps above to make a Christmas tree napkin. This is sure to impress your guests.

8. Glow Jars

This might not scream holiday, but it's a great way to light up your house a little! Pick any color(s) glow paint and make little dots on the outside of some jars. It might look cool to fill the jars with cotton balls to look like a little jar of snow and make it more winter-themed.

9. Popsicle Stick Christmas Trees

Popsicle sticks and glue are the essentials for this craft, but feel free to use some tinsel, paper, cotton balls, and more to decorate!

10. Vegetable Christmas Tree

Not really a decorating idea, but this is a way to make your veggie tray a little more exciting. The food used in the picture above are yellow peppers, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, pretzels, and cauliflower. If you don't like one (or any) of these, switch them for whatever you and your family like, and play around with different designs!

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.
