10 Mother's Day Gifts To Brighten Up Her Quarantine

VSCO

Get her something nice to show her how much you love her, her home-cooked meals, folding of your laundry, how she brings you coffee during your Zoom class because you woke up too late to make it yourself...

1. Body Love Every Day by Kelly LeVeque

My mom got this book recently and is obsessed. Kelly LeVeque is a nutritionist loved by Emmy Rossum and Jennifer Garner who is famous for her "Fab 4" approach to changing one's relationship to food. If your mom is into health/wellness (or even if she isn't) this is an awesome gift for her. Get it at Target for only 19 bucks.

2. Alexa Leigh Bracelet

These bracelets are the perfect simple pieces to build up your mom's wrist candy and, even better, don't break the bank. Alexa Leigh is a fabulous jewelry designer known for her "ball" bracelets. I have the gold threesome stack and am obsessed, but one of my new faves that any stylish mom would love is this Heart of Gold bracelet for only $60. Search for more styles here on her site.

3. Baggu Reusable Bags

Ok this sounds like a boring gift but these bags are adorable and SO versatile. Encourage your mom to grocery shop sustainably, if she doesn't already, with this set of three printed bags (comes in several different prints, so pick a set that really speaks to your mom's style). Only $36 from Shopbop!

4. Levain Bakery Cookies

THESE ARE THE BEST COOKIES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE SO SENDING A BOX OF THESE TO YOUR HOUSE TO SURPRISE YOUR MOTHER IS SIMPLY A NO-BRAINER. Seriously, you need them. Check out their nationwide shipping options on their website.

5. PJ Set

This zebra-print PJ set from Zara is so chic, any stylish mom will love it. And it's on sale! Woohoo! Get the top here and the bottom here.

6. Revlon Blow-Dry Brush

My mom and I both have this brush (and all my friends basically do, considering how much they borrow it) and it is a lifesaver. Seriously, I do not know how I ever got ready before this blow dryer came into my possession. Get it at Target for your mama for only $57 (much better price than the fancy DryBar one)!

7. Slip Silk Eye Mask

These eye masks have become a cult favorite, and for a reason. According to reviews, these Slip silk masks are "life-changing," which means your mom needs them. I know they are a little pricey but c'mon, they're life-changing! Get them in several colors on Urban Outfitters's website.

8. Drunk Elephant Bare With Us Skincare Kit

Get your mom a set of some of one of the best skincare brands today's essential products, for only $100. For Drunk Elephant this price is AMAZING, not to mention the products are totally up to the hype. Get it at Sephora here.

9. Glossier Balm DotCom Trio

Another cult favorite, these lip balms are definitely essentials for ANYONE, especially your mama who needs these cute little tubes in her life. They come in several different tints and flavors, my faves being the coconut and mango. Get this trio on Glossier's site here.

10. Anthropologie Measuring Cups

If your mom is just like everybody else during this quarantine and baking every type of bread, muffin, and cake known to man, get her these adorable measuring cups from Anthropologie that will make her want to bake even more (if that's even possible).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
