Homes are always dressed beautifully, mimicking lifestyles. A traveler will have a library room, with a world map hanging in an antique frame on the wall. Grocery shopping always consists of buying from the local market and drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread by the shining Christmas tree never gets old. A dream, right?

So, if you are into the small-town vibe, or wanting to live like a Hallmark movie, here are some ways you can do just that!!!

Decorate your front porch for the seasons

Mums and pumpkins in the fall. Wreaths, mistletoes, and Christmas lights in the winter.

Always dress for the weather, in stylish colors, that are best for your skin, hair and eye tone.

You can't go wrong with a colorful coat and a coordinating scarf, or even an oversized Christmas sweater.

Have some fancy oversized mugs for drinking your coffee, tea, and hot cocoa

You can never go wrong with cute, stylish mugs.

Keep your house clean, tidy, and free of clutter

Keep clutter tucked away. Keep stylish bins to store stuff in.

Dine in a Main Street Restaurant

Hallmark movies always have cute small town diners, or main street restaurants to dine at. It's so fun to go out and try local food and make memories.

Wear an apron when you cook or just for the fun of it

Giphy

In the movies, the main lead is rarely bumming around in PJs — an apron is a fun way to add some pizzaz in the kitchen!!!

Go all out for the Holidays!!!

Decorate EVERYTHING! This is what adds magic to the season.

Don´t be a Scrooge, live life like a Hallmark movie and embrace your inner child!!!

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
