Short on cash? Aren't we all? Trying to pick out the perfect gift that she will post and tweet about for weeks with the caption "He's the best!" can be a challenge. Here are a few tips to give the best gift this Valentine's Day.

On Valentine's Day, what girl doesn't love a huge stuffed bear that's bigger than her? In reality, that bear will sit in a corner for the rest of the year, collecting dust. What every girl really wants is to be spoiled, but when you don't have the cash, spending time with your honey is the perfect way to do just that.

Starting the day off with an "I've made plans for us tonight" text will surely make her feel excited. Prepare a candle-lit meal at home, open a bottle of wine, put on some good music and it will be just the beginning of an amazing night. This night is about spoiling her, so don't worry about dishes; just remember to blow out those candles before you turn in for the night.

If you're not ready to turn in just yet, grab any Nicholas Sparks movie and hit the couch with a bowl of popcorn. Any girl will be thrilled to see that you've got a sensitive side and are willing to sit next to her through a tearjerker.

After the movie, help her relax with a massage. Every woman needs a great massage, just like every man needs a night to go out drinking with his buddies. Show your lady how much you care and if you're lucky, she may even return the favor!

Though the rest of the night is up to you, sneaking out of the bedroom the next morning to treat her to a romantic breakfast in bed will be the icing on the cake. It could just be a bowl of Frosted Flakes or some sausage and eggs.

Don't worry if you're strapped for cash because love isn't displayed by material things, but by the amount of effort you put into your relationship.

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.
