Holiday Gift Ideas: Men's Watches

My godfather always told me never trust a man that doesn't wear a watch. A man without a watch is a sign of a man that has nowhere to be. I was much younger when he told me that and thought it was silly but now I agree. I often find myself looking at a man's wrist to see if he's wearing a watch.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Spa Basket

I really like to pamper myself at home sometimes. I don't always have the time or the funds to get to a spa. I try to make Sundays my spa day. In a perfect world I would give spa gift certificates to all of my friends so they can be spoiled and pampered. Until I can afford such things, what better way to give the gift of a luxurious spa experience than a basket full of spa trinkets.

Cheap but Chic X-mas Gift Ideas!

Need help thinking of Christmas gifts for your product crazy friends and loved ones? Don't have much money to spend? Instead of buying very pricey gift sets and just do stocking stuffers or make your own personal collage of gifts. Pick and choose the items you want to go in your gift tailoring it to each recipient and making it more personal. It will mean so much more to them.

Just want to get a name brand stocking stuffer? Visit stores such as Ulta and/or Sephora and buy multiple sample size items. The sizes are ample enough to provide the person you are gifting multiple uses. The smaller size also means a smaller price. And in the event they don't like the product you haven't wasted tons of money. Most sample/travel sizes range in price from $9-$20.

Happy shopping!

My X-mas Wish List!

There are only 41 days left until Christmas and for once I'm actually excited. I'm normally a Scrooge and/or Grinch when it comes to the holidays but this time not so much. I can't wait to purchase a tree with my roommate and decorate it. I'm looking forward to holiday parties and being with the ones that I love.

Although I'm more excited by giving gifts than receiving, I've made a wish list this year. The only thing I have on my list this year is books. I only want books that are related to fashion, beauty and make up. I really want to hone my skills and education is the best way.

Here are the books that I have so far on my list:

• All 3 Nina Garcia books
• Rachel Zoe's "Style A to Zoe"
• Tim Gunn's Guide to Style
• Sam Fine book and DVD
• "How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World" (Jordan Christy)
• Bobbi Brown Make Up Manual

If anyone has any other suggestions for me please let me know!
