Pinterest, the home to all things crafty and cute.

Although most do-it-yourself recipes and crafts "pinned" to this site seem to require a lot of invested time and effort, your Thanksgiving festivities will be the talk of the town if you consider the following 11 Pinterest items.

1. Serve a turkey veggie tray.

This uniquely decorated appetizer is a great way to begin any Thanksgiving Day feast! Learn how to make it here. Substitute these veggies for your favorites to personalize the dish.

2. Create a Thankful Tree and have everyone participate.

Let us not forget the true meaning of Thanksgiving — being thankful! Have each guest jot down what they are thankful for and hang it on the tree. It's an easy do-it-yourself project that involves everyone, and allows them to think about what they are thankful for.

3. Decorate with DIY leaf candle holders.

Would this even be a do-it-yourself list without a mason jar craft? The answer is no. Learn how to make these festive decorations here.

4. Curate a mean fireplace mantle display.

Fall leaves and pumpkins are a must when decorating your home for the season. Go wild with all things fall to give your mantle the decorative spirit it needs. Be creative with it — design the area to fit your home and personal style the best.

5. Offer your guests a game of fall-themed tic-tac-toe.

We all know there's usually no winner during this game; however, after a full meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, you may be able to slip by with a win! This do-it-yourself project is cute, interactive and perfect for the guests. See how to make it here.

6. Set up a caramel apple bar.

Not only does this look fun, but also delicious! Get your guests involved in creating their own dessert in this do-it-yourself caramel apple bar. Using simply a muffin tin, lay out a variety of toppings along with apple slices and caramel. Genius, I know.

7. Have something for the little ones to do.

To keep the children entertained throughout the evening, create activities for them to participate in! This craft will be fun to construct and remind them what this holiday is really about.

8. Serve a festive, adult beverage.

This delicious apple-y drink will totally hit the spot and pair beautifully with your Thanksgiving meal. It's cozy, boozy and oh-so-fall. Get the recipe here.

9. Decorate the table.

Nothing screams "Thanksgiving" more than a fall themed tablescape, including a plethora of candles, leaves and pumpkins. This is just one example of the many looks you can go for when decorating your table this year.

10. Make sure the house smells great throughout the day and night.

A great smelling home is a welcoming home! Make the whole house smell like fall by simmering a mixture of fruits and spices in a crockpot. Leave the mixture heating all day long to prolong the festive aroma. Get the directions for this here.

11. Finish off the night with an amazing dessert.

Though the entire meal is delicious, dessert is debatably the best part of the night. There are tons of recipes to choose from, so pick your favorite(s) and pin them to your autumn board so that when Thanksgiving day is here, you are ready to bake!

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.
