Since we're all stuck at home for the holidays, let's make the most out of it!

Help Cook The Holiday Meal 

I don't know who's cooking your meal for each holiday, but why not lend a hand? You'll learn how to cook your favorites! It'll also help pass the time until all that yummy food is ready.

Bake A New Dessert 

While the dinner is being prepared, why not impress your family with a yummy addition to the dessert table?

Zoom With Relatives 

While we can't all be together this year, we should pretend like we are.

Have A Family Reading Session 

Love books? Set aside some time after dinner and read your favorite books together in front of the fire. When do we get the time to read besides the holidays?

Play Cards! 

Another great way to pass the time, and make the night fun! While the dinner is digesting and you're waiting for dessert, play a game or two!

Watch Your Favorite Holiday Movie 

This is always a good idea, especially when you're looking for a laugh!

Add Any Additional Decorations Around The House

Put on your favorite holiday playlist, gather the remaining decorations, and go all out!

I hope these activities help you to enjoy the quarantined holidays.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
