Top 9 Gift Ideas For Your Guy
I'm Bringing Blogging Back

Alright ladies, listen up. Christmas is here, and you are searching for the perfect gift for your boyfriend. I'll admit; it is a difficult task. I don't know about you, but when I ask my fiancé what he wants for the holidays, the answer is almost always "nothing." So I have compiled a list of things that you can get any man in your life for Christmas, his birthday, etc. Everything on this list is an easy gift to let him know you care.

1. Cologne

This is by far the easiest gift to get for a man—all you have to do is find the bottle that you like the best. That's right. You. If you think it smells good, then it is something you know he will wear.

2. Clothes

This also seems simple, but choosing to buy him some clothes will also end in your favor. Is there a style that you've been hoping he'd pick up? Well, snag a shirt or a pair of jeans that you think would make him feel comfortable while also looking great.

3. Gift cards

So many people think that gift cards are a lazy way out of getting someone a gift, but men love them! Grab a card to his favorite restaurant or department store! He'll be able to save a little money during his next journey to any of the aforementioned places and can buy something he likes.

4. Electronics

If you have a little extra money to splurge on his gift, go with technology. A sleek TV, a pair of nice headphones, a portable speaker, an extra controller for his Xbox, a wrist watch, a cellphone—your guy will love it!

5. Homemade Gifts & Food

These can range anywhere from a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies and a paper card or his favorite flavor of cake baked into the shape of a Christmas tree for dessert to his favorite meal. Save a little money and stay in for the evening to celebrate a special occasion!

6. Music

Has he been talking about some of his favorite songs he's heard on the radio? Then go ahead and burn him a CD. Creating a mix tape is a thoughtful way of presenting him with music full of your memories with each other or a list of his absolute favorite songs. If you don't feel up to the task of making a playlist, head to your nearest Walmart, Best Buy, Target, etc. and pick up a few CDs of his favorite artists.

7. Movies

Has the man in your life been talking about the newest Marvel movie? Is he dying to get a collector's edition of the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings? Purchase some films you know he loves but doesn't yet own! If you can't think of what kind of DVDs he'd enjoy, consider investing in a Netflix account for him.

8. Time

This may be a little cheesy, but he may be wishing for this most of all. Are your work schedules hectic? Do you spend most of your relationship on the phone or via email? Then call his work and your own and request a day off. He'll be surprised to learn that he doesn't have to go in to work next Tuesday, and you'll get to spend the day together.

9. Travel

Similarly to Option #4, this gift idea can get a little pricey. But if the two of you have been dreaming of spending a weekend in Martha's Vineyard or taking a trip to California, go ahead and plan it! Travelzoo.com has some incredibletravel options for as little as $199 per person...and that includes airfare, hotels, ground transportation, etc. Seriously, visit Travelzoo.com and you two will have the trip of a lifetime!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

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.

too tired to care

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.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

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!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
