10 Gifts to Give Your Mother for Mother's Day
i.huffpost,com

Mother's Day is quickly approaching.

That means you're about to acknowledge and spend the day with that special woman in your life, who gave birth and sacrificed everything for you. Although Mother's Day is a one day event, you should still take this time to appreciate everything she has ever done for you. She was there to wipe your nose, clean up after you, be there for you when you needed a shoulder to cry on, pack your lunch, and get you ready for your first day of school.

She has been with you every step of the way. Even when you're 22 and still trying to figure out where to go from here, she provides for you.

Your Mother is your home.

She is the safe space, haven and hearth for you to come home to and unwind from all the social anxieties and difficulties you go through. She spends all her time and energy for you, to see you succeed. In essence, she gives her life for you, through and through.

And what do you to acknowledge all the sacrifices you has made for you? Or better yet, what can you do to appreciate all the efforts she has done to see you succeed?

Roses are not enough. Here's a couple of things you can do to appreciate everything your mother has done for you:

1. Tell her you love her.


2. Come up with 101 ways to praise her.

You're incredible. You're fantastic. You're spectacular. You're important. Exceptional. Marvelous. You tried hard. You mean a lot to me. You make me happy. You make me laugh. You brighten my day. You mean the world to me. You're perfect. A big hug. A big kiss.

3. Don't let her work for Mother's Day.

Lady, put down the brush!

Do it, now! Don't touch!

Washing dishes? Stop what you're doing!

You are not allowed to work on Mother's Day!

4. Go out to dinner or to the movies.

Have a special movie or old-time classic that your Mom likes?

How 'bout some upcoming superhero movies?

5. Cook for her.


6. Let her take a day off from being a Mom.


7. Binge-watch Netflix with her.

Have a favorite season you love to watch? Game of Thrones per chance?

8. Give her a gift that empowers her.

Does your Mom love cooking? Is she having problems with the microwave? Oven? Does she throw all these hidden signs that she's in desperate need of seeing something that gives her power?

9. A toast to Mom Power!

10. Don't dis your mama!


Enjoy Mother's Day with that special mother in your life!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
