For this week’s #10WeeksB4Xmas giveaway I wanted to do something different. I want to share with one lucky reader 2 of my favorite books. These books have helped me become a better me, they are full of positivity and radiant energy that will make you a better person. If you follow me on Twitter or know me as a person, you know the two books I’m talking about, because I talk about them all the time!
Holiday Travel on the Cheap
One of the best parts of the holiday season is taking the time to visit family and friends, far and wide, that you may be unable to see at any other time of year. But with the price of airline tickets, hotel rooms, and rental cars at a premium, and long lines, delayed flights, and cancellations plaguing travelers during the busiest travel season of the year, contemplating leaving home, even to see loved ones that have long been absent, can be the furthest thing from your mind.
For Week# 3 giveaway, the wonderful people from Deuce Brand are giving away 3 watches to 3 lucky readers. These watches are super cool and stylish. I love the fact that they come in different colors and you can rock them pretty much anywhere. I’ve include 2 of my favorite colors, but actually they all look great. Makes you want to start a collection.
Frugal Holiday Fun for the Family
When the kids are home from school, you have time off from work, and everyone is cooped up in the house because of cold weather, it probably won’t be long before the whole family starts to get a little stir crazy. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you have the extra cash to blow on a family vacation (or even a trip to the movie theater). If you find that, like many families right now, you are short on cash approaching the holidays, you may think that watching the snow fall is just about your only option for entertainment.
The holidays often bring a spate of sentimental new releases to get you in the Christmas spirit, but why blow your dough on crowded theaters and cholesterol-laden popcorn when you can see your favorites at home? If you’re looking for a good movie to pop in while you curl up under the blankets and enjoy a crackling fire, here are a few that will get you laughing and remind you what this season is all about.
5 Ways to Add Romance to the Holidays
The craziness that surrounds the holiday season (shopping and shipping and hosting, oh my!) can easily leave you too pooped to pop. So when your honey comes around looking for a little romance, he or she is more likely to find you sawing logs than setting up aromatherapy candles. How can you infuse your holidays with a little romance when your stress levels have reached maximum capacity and your last nerve is ready to jump ship?
For Week 6 giveaway we have a wonderful prize for one lucky lady. Tyeisha Delk of Shape Life NYC is sponsoring this week’s #10WeeksB4Xmas giveaway.
The winner can choose between The Body Reshaper Short or The Body Magic. Both wonderful items to have this holiday season when we want to look extra good in that sexy holiday dress.
When the temperature plummets, frost forms on the windowpanes, and the snowflakes begin to drift lazily to the ground; when you step outside and see a mist of breath in front of your face; when you have to pull down the boxes of mittens, scarves, and long underwear that have been tucked away in a closet for six months; you know that winter has arrived. And what better way to wait out this cold and inhospitable season than by throwing a few logs in the fireplace, boiling up a batch of hot chocolate, and snuggling under the comforters for a few holiday movies?
Have You Been… Naughty or Nice?
The holiday season is getting closer, and in a month or so you will be exchanging gifts with your loved ones. What if this year you gave your whole family the gift of a week or two in a Tuscan villa?
Tuscany is usually conceived as a summer destination, but there is nothing more underrated than a beautiful winter holiday in this wonderful region of Italy, especially if spent in one of its many splendid Tuscan villas. These accommodations have all been restored to offer you a stay with modern comforts.
Get Your Home Holiday Ready
Preparing for the holidays is never easy, especially when you have family on the way and mountains of built-up clutter to contend with before you can even start cleaning. When your son went off to college, he probably didn’t expect you to turn his bedroom into a storage facility (and he definitely won’t appreciate climbing over a pile of boxes containing your scrapbooking material to get to his bed when he returns home for the holidays). And since you’ve started working from home, you may have found that what began as a contained office space has quickly spread to coat every room in your house in a layer of paperwork, reference materials, and computer equipment (or product, if you run a retail business).
Whether you’re buying the latest noise-making toys for your nieces and nephews (that’s right, the holidays are the perfect time to have a little fun at the expense of your siblings!), a bushel of electronics for your friends, or some new perfume that the ladies are raving about, you are likely to end your holiday shopping spree with PTSSD (Post Traumatic Sticker Shock Disorder).
The Best Holiday Gifts for Mom and Dad
There’s no doubt about it: buying gifts for your parents can be a nerve-wracking and brain-numbing experience (that must be repeated every year). If your mom and dad are like most adults, they probably have just about everything they need and buy whatever they want throughout the year, making it extremely difficult for you to find them good gifts when the holidays roll around.
A Spa Treatment – The Best Holiday Gift
Everyone loves spa treatments, massages, facials, mani & pedi, etc… we all love to be pampered, yes even the men.
Spa, the official SpaWeek gift card, are accepted at over 1,500 spas across North America, so finding a participating spa close to home, shouldn’t be a hassle. Best of all, they never expire.
