15 Gifts For Mom For Mother's Day
midtownmiamimagazine.com

Mother's Day is on Sunday. As a daughter or a son, we should show our moms how much we appreciate them. Sometimes, we do forget until the last minute to get a gift. Life gets in the way so here are some great ideas to get your mom for Mother's Day, especially if it ends up being last minute.

1. Dunkin/Starbucks Gift Card

If she never stops to get coffee in the morning or stops all the time, this saves the family some money and she gets her favorite coffee, at least for a few days.

2. Flowers

This may be a cliche gift but she will always love some flowers. It just shows her how much you appreciate her.

3. Yankee Candle

Who doesn't love candles? Make sure it is in her favorite scent though.

4. Book by favorite author

She probably does not get time to read a book so getting her one (especially close to vacation season) so she has a reason to.

5. Handmade card/gift

If moms love anything, they are things that are handmade by her favorite people on Earth that she can cherish.

6. Spa Day

For daughters, take her with you for a mani-pedi day. For a son, give her a gift certificate to a local spa or salon for her to take care of herself.

7. Jewelry

Get something nice but not super expensive. As long as it ifs from you, she will cherish it forever.

8. Movie Night

Get her a gift certificate to the movies to have her go see her favorite new movie coming out.

9. Date Night/Night Out

Every mother deserves a night with her favorite people that she never gets to spend time with. Get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant or bar and let her have a night out on you!

10. Framed Picture/Photo Shoot

Every mother loves pictures of her family and the ones she loves. Set up a photo shoot for yourself and the others in the family and get your favorite picture framed for her.

11. Store Gift Card

Maybe she has had an eye on a new outfit for work or everyday. Get her a gift card to a store she likes for her to treat herself.

12. Something she has her eyes on

Maybe last time you were at a store, she saw a new lamp for the house or something to replace what needs to be. Get it for her as a surprise!

13. Make her breakfast/lunch/dinner

I know that this is probably a cliche one that everyone does, but I can tell you she will really appreciate staying in bed and not making breakfast or not worrying about lunch or dinner.

14. Let her choose what to do

If there is something she wants to do for the day, like me and my family go to the greenhouse to get her plants, let her do it! It is her day.

15. Make the day about her!

Anything you do, make it about your mom.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

The girls I will never forget.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
