Well, it's December and that means it's Christmas season again! This time of year can definitely put a toll on those of us who have anxiety or any other mental health issue. So, whether you need ideas for yourself of what to put on your wishlist or you have those that are dear to your heart who have anxiety and you want to know what to get them, here is a gift guide:

1. Bath Bombs

These bath bombs from Lush are sure to be a big hit for anyone wanting to relax during any stressful time in their life. You can find it here: http://www.lushusa.com/bath/bath-bombs/intergalact...

2. Essential Oils

Essential oils are totally in right now. They are good for you because they are natural. This essential oil is from Origami Owl. The super cool thing about Origami Owl's essential oils is that they have designed a locket with a disk to put essential oils on. This is perfect for the girly girl in your life who wants to feel cute as well as calm.

This is the locket you can fill with your essential oils. Read more about it here: https://www.origamiowl.com/product/1545/LK9037/Med...

3. Coloring Books

Coloring books are a great way to release your creativity and relax. They get your mind off of what you are worried about because you become focused on coloring. I can testify that it is a great way to relax because my mom is on the coloring bandwagon and loves it.

4. Pillow Mist

Pillow mist is a great way to wind down and get a great night's sleep. Who doesn't love sleep? This gift would be great for any age.

5. Snuggie

Alright, Go ahead and laugh. I know you are. However, until you have experienced a Snuggie and had a Netflix marathon in one, you can't judge. These are perfect for guys and girls and they come in an assortment of colors.

6. Tea

I could go on and on about tea. I order tea from The Republic of Tea and ever since then it had been a treat. It is soothing and can be a great calming thing to drink before bed. My mom and I would watch our favorite show and sip on tea together.

7. Journals

Journals are a great gift for any gender and any age. You can get them in so many different designs and colors. My therapist recommended me to journal when I was having very bad anxiety.I look back at my old journals and it is so cool to see how far I have come. They can be an encouragement.

8. Music

Music is great therapy and totally a gift for anyone. I prefer relaxing to Jazz and you can never go wrong with Frank Sinatra.

You can find this rad man's album here: http://www.target.com/p/sinatra-s-a-collection-of-...

9. Candles

I love candles and they can totally bring relaxation into your room.

You can find this totally adorable tin candle here: https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/snow-day-candle...

10. Hugs

This is a free gift that means a lot. Sometimes, you don't have words to say to someone that has anxiety and that is ok. Hugs are a great gift and gesture. Go give some hugs my friends! Also, if you are reading this and don't have anyone to hug.. Go hug your furry friend. They are great for releasing anxiety as well.

Here is a website of the cutest hugs: http://www.saatchisynergize.co.za/blog/top-ten-cut...

Have a super happy Christmas, my friends. May your holidays be filled with less stress and tons of great memories.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself?
