Business cards offer the perfect snapshot of your business – in one small square, they can highlight your contact information, describe what you offer, share your webpage, and more. What's even better than a regular business card are unique business cards that think outside of the box and make your company unforgettable.

While many companies such as Vistaprint and MOO offer free business card templates, these are usually pretty generic and lack a little something in the creativity department.

If you want to really stand out, it's well worth the investment to shell out a little cash for custom business cards that will set you apart from everyone else.

1. Edge-Painted

Make your business cards stand out with a small pop of color around that edge to make it easily recognizable in a pile.

2. Clear

Stand out by not standing out; a transparent plastic business card gives a more modern feel to your business card while being more durable than paper.

3. Edible

Everyone loves a snack and a business card that doubles as a quick-me-up will definitely leave an impression. Just make sure to write down the contact info first!

4. Accented

A bit of color or an embossed design will add a pretty spin to an otherwise low-key card. The result is simple yet elegant.

5. Plantable

Yes, you read that right -- you can actually have business cards made that can be planted! Great for environmentally friendly companies or for those with a green thumb.

6. Tool

Some businesses want functionality along with their contact info; keeping these business cards in your wallet not only keeps the info handy but ensure you have a helpful little tool on hand as well! A variety of options are available including rulers, letter openers, money clip, can opener, bottle cap opener and more!

7. Unconventional Shape

A business card in the shape of what you sell in bright colors will be hard to forget anytime soon. The best part? The possibilities are endless! Cars, cupcakes, shoes, jewelry -- if you can think of it, it can be a card!

8. Stencil Cut-Out

Whether it's words or your logo, a stencil cut-out is sure to stand out.

9. Slide-Out

A slide-out card adds a whimsical touch that's not seen very often. The sleeve or cover also has the added bonus of providing protection to make sure your card doesn't get dirty or damaged.

10. Metal

Besides being sturdy, the sleek contemporary look of a metal finish will elevate your level of professionalism.

Customize your card and have fun!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
