So many guys think they have to buy us this and give us this and take us here. Guys, I promise we are not difficult.

To spoil us, you do not have to break the bank. Here are a few easy peasy things that we consider to be spoiling.

1. Spend time with us.

Duh, this is the most important. Whether we are watching movies, running errands, or with friends. It doesn't matter as long as we are with you. At the same time, make time for us. If you have to give up time with your boys for one night then so be it. We are worth it.

2. Show us off.

We LOVE when you talk about us to your friends, take us out with you to family events, to see friends, post about us, etc. When you let people know we are together, that we are taken, that oh love us it's one of the best feelings.

3. Take us out.

Everyone loves a relaxing night in but girls love to get all dolled up, especially when it's for our guys. This doesn't mean it has to be an extremely expensive dinner or happen every week. Let us curl our hair, put on a cute dress and go to Applebee's.

4. Flowers.

Okay, my biggest thing. I would rather receive a $1 box of candy from the store than $100 worth of flowers that will die with in the next week. Flowers are GORGEOUS but pick some off the road, buy them from Giant. They will die anyway.

5. Let us know you think of us.

Randomly text us, telling us how much you love us, miss us, what you love about us, etc but make it come from the heart. I PROMISE when it comes to effort and heartfelt gestures nothing is "corny". When you stop at the gas station to get gas and a soda, pick us up a box of our favorite candy or chips. The fact that you thought of us without us being there, without us telling you, on your own will make our hearts melt more than anything.

Tip: holidays and anniversaries are important, but a random gift on a Tuesday just because is more romantic than flowers on Valentine's Day. Now, this doesn't mean you can skip the holidays, this means that effort is not limited to holidays.

6. Make the plans.

Stop asking us what we want to do or where we want to eat. You already know that we don't have an answer. "I don't know" is always our go to. This is part of your duties sometimes. Tell us to get ready, pick us up and take us somewhere. Yet again, the place doesn't matter but extra brownie points if it's one of our favorite places.

7. Cute names.

Give us cute little names, whether it's baby, baby girl, honey, something funny, etc. We will L O V E it!

8. Just put in the effort.

You treat us good and we will treat you better. Some guys think that relationships are drowning, little do they know that we are what keeps you a float. Take the 5 seconds out of your day to text us good morning or good night. Let us know if you're busy. Treat us with respect. Remember how you treated us at the beginning to win us over? Yeah, still do that. Just because you have us doesn't mean you can't lose us.

9. Be a gentleman.

Hold the door open for us when walking into a building, open our door when getting into the car, offer to carry our bags, pay for dinner, offer to help clean etc. Girls are capable of doing all of these things but it is nice to not have to. Sometimes the girl will pay and that is perfectly fine. Don't expect her to do it all.

10. Do things for us because you want to.

Do not feel as if you HAVE to do them. You should want to do all of these things for us because we are worth it. Because we are important to you. Because you love us.

To sum it all up, take time and put in the effort and we will be happily spoiled forever.

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.
