Struggling to come up with great gift ideas? Feel like it was just everyone’s birthday last week? Here are seven ideas to help get the creative (and other) juices flowing.

If October has you feeling antsy, resist the urge to change too much too soon. There’s a lot to be learned this month—especially about your love life and what you need from a relationship—if you can quiet your head long enough to listen to your heart.

You walk past bridal mags and flinch. Or you’re content just living together. Or maybe you prefer a nontraditional, independent lifestyle free from any societal influence. Or maybe you haven’t found the one or don’t even believe in the concept of the one.

Love is a potent, exquisite, life changing, delicious thing. And it can be brutal as hell when it’s over. We hope you never have to endure having your heart shattered, but if you do, we hope this helps.
