Holiday How To’s: Wrapping Gifts

So I’ve recently discovered that I have in fact moved on from the world of in person shopping and prefer online shopping much more. As a result of this revelation, I went a little holiday shopping crazy this Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

I literally completed all of my holiday shopping prior to December. Some would say this was a smart idea and that I would, in turn, get a lot of stress out of the way. I disagree; I now had piles of packages staring at me in my bedroom, with nowhere to put them. I couldn’t allow anyone who will be receiving said gifts see these packages, so my only option was to wrap them.

Yes, I already have all of my Christmas gifts purchased and wrapped, waiting in my bedroom for December 25th.  That’s fine, I guess. It gave me an excuse to peruse Pinterest for new and exciting gift-wrapping ideas, since I had so much time and all.

I stumbled upon a few new ways to wrap and decorate gifts for whichever holiday you and your family celebrate. These gift-wrapping ideas would also be appropriate for birthday gifts and so on.

Here are a few of my favorite holiday wrapping ideas:

Yoga: More Than Just A White Girl Trend

Yoga has recently been lumped in with other “white girl trends.” You know, the same girls who eat gluten free, go out for sushi multiple times a week, and do blueprint cleanses are also the ones who go to yoga. It’s certainly a trendy fitness class, but is it more than that? According to a [...]

The Newest Way To Test For Melanoma

Skin cancer is in no way limited to one gender, but we all know that females typically sit out and tan or use tanning beds far more often than men do. A woman’s desire for tanned skin has caused an increase in skin cancers throughout our gender, so it’s important that we all know what we’re [...]

Is Quitting Coffee More Serious Than You Think?

I’m a first generation daughter to European parents, so needless to say, I’ve been drinking coffee for far longer than I should have been. To be honest, I don’t even remember when I started, but I do know that I’ve been dependent on the beverage since before my high school days. I haven’t ever tried [...]

Why Juggling Men Isn’t A Smart Thing To Do

We all go through patterns in our sex lives. Sometimes we find ourselves in serious dry spells, and before we know it, we’re juggling handfuls of men. We like to have a selection of men in our lives for a few reasons. However, while it may not be smart to put all your eggs in [...]

It’s Your P*ssy, You Can Do What You Want With It

I, like many curious teenage girls, used to flip mischievously through the pages of Cosmo, exhilarated, as if it were a build up to the centerfold of Playboy (which, incidentally, I also flipped through). I followed the bold headlines to the articles lined with numbers on how to please your man, how to change your [...]

Cease Your Ritalin Addiction, Please.

Congratu-f*cking-lations America, we are now responsible for 90% of Ritalin consumption in the world. We all knew our ADD-generation was out of control, but this is a beyond alarming statistic. You think Percocets and coke are the most prevalent drugs among Gen-Y? Amphetamines, such as Adderall and Ritalin, seem to be this age group’s drug [...]
