DISCLOSURE: I was provided with a complimentary product to facilitate this post, however all opinions are my own. I have always had a very unconventional nature. I always liked music no one else my age did, I liked clothes that were different, I always picked the "weird guy" to date and as I have gotten older, my tastes have remained very eclectic, but finding unique gifts can sometimes prove to be difficult. When I was given the chance to check out some cool, new eclectic gifts from the New Age Source Store, I was super excited. The New Age Source Store is your one stop shop for all things unique and new age-y. They carry a large selection of crystals and gemstones, candles, incense and oil burners, home and garden decor, meditation and prayer tools and they even have a large selection of tarot cards. After about an hour of indecision, I finally decided on this polyresin Troll Wall Plaque. This enchanting polyresin troll wall plaque features dotted mushrooms, intricately carved leaves and roots, and finely detailed facial features. He is super cute and whimsical and looks great in my bathroom. He looks great hanging alone or you can use him to display your favorite knick knack. If you have a "hard to shop for" person on your list, I definitely suggest you check out the New Age Source Store.

DISCLAIMER: I was provided with complimentary products to facilitate this post, however all opinions are my own. Glitz, glitter and glam! Those are the first three words that come to mind when I saw these new Holiday looks from Mary Kay. Mary Kay is a name I have known and used for as long as I can remember and I am so excited to be able to share these Holiday looks with you. Whether you're a natural beauty or you like to jazz it up a little bit, there's definitely a little something something for you, in the new Holiday collection. Look 1: Flapper Chic Inspiration: Flirty and fun flapper style of the 1920s. Dramatic smoky eyes and neutral lips and cheeks balance an intense eye look. Look 2: The White-Hot Suit Inspiration: Sleek and sexy 1970s style; menswear-inspired but still feminine. A winged eye and red lip really give this look its signature "pop". Look 3: Silver Screen Siren Inspiration: Old Hollywood glamour of the 1940s; film noir; silver-screen starlet. Plum lips, shimmery eyes with a reference to violet tones in lip color and a subtle flush for cheeks make this sultry look. My Interpretation.... As with any masterpiece, you should start with a fresh, clean canvas. Mary Kay has an amazing oil free makeup remover, it's gentle on your skin, but it definitely gets the job done. Mary Kay also has some really nice face, lip and eye primer products, that really give you a flawless, professional look. Using the smokey eye palate from the Flapper Chic and the winged eyeliner & red lip from the White Hot Suit look, Kaylee created this awesome Holiday look. Isn't she just the cutest thing, EVER?! Taking inspiration from each of the looks, my model (who happens to be my beautiful daughter, Kaylee) came up with this look....While I wouldn't normally let her wear make-up this dark, it's still fun to play and have fun, isn't that one of the best things about being a girl?!
So what do you get the kid who has everything, for Christmas.... Bedbugs!!!Yep, I said BEDBUGS!!!This adorable little critter is a GIANTmicrobe.GIANTmicrobes are fun little stuffed toys representing all kinds of yucky things from Staph to Anthrax, Housefly, Germs and yes, even Bedbugs.These toys actually make learning fun. Each one comes with a tag that gives a complete description of what it is and what it does and a fun fact.With "fun" choices like MRSA, Black Death, Food Poisoning, Chicken Pox, Diarrhea, Athlete's Foot, Bad Breath, Chlamydia and HIV and tons more (over 100 total), there's bound to be a GIANTmicrobe for everyone on your list.Science geeks and teachers alike will love these furry little critters. They also make a great gag gift... "Here Honey, I got you a cute little Flesh Eating Bacteria today" or "Hey Honey, look what came in the mail today, Anthrax!".... EPIC!!!GIANTmicrobes also make great stocking stuffers. Imagine the joy on your child's face, on Christmas morning, when they awaken to find E. Coli, Hepatitis and Swine Flu in their stocking.DISCLAIMER: I received complimentary media passes to attend this event, however all experiences and original snapshots are my own. Having lived in Nashville all my life, there are a few things that I have learned over the years... I know you don't go downtown on Titans home game day, I know you must check out 4th of July fireworks from Love Circle at least once in your life, I learned that even if you don't like country music, you can still enjoy the best music ANYWHERE, here in Nashville, I know that Edwin Warner park is a great place to go for a "Sunday drive" and I know it isn't really Christmas, until you've been to see the lights at the Opryland resort. This is the 30th year for theCountry Christmas celebration at the Opryland resort and if you live in or are planning to visit the mid south area, between now and January 1st, you owe it to yourself and the kids to check it out. Gaylorld's Country Christmas is known for their magical settings where families can share Christmas traditions and make new ones. The Country Christmas celebration features awesome musical shows, over 2 million, yes, million, with an "M", twinkling lights, beautifully decorated trees and amazing holiday decorations that are sure to make even the "bah-humbuggiest scrooge begin to feel the Christmas spirit. With shows from the Rockettes, the "A Not So Silent Night" concert series, a very"Christmassy" DreamWorks experience, featuring characters from Madasgar, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and you can even have a sticky, fun time atGingy's Gingerbread decorating. There are craft shows, photos with Santa, carriage rides, an outdoor nativity scene and more, but my personal fave isICE! and this year's theme is the cutest I've seen since the year they did the Grinch... Frosty the Snowman!!! Most of us (girls and guys) know how to care for our skin during the summer... SPF protection, moisturizers and all that good stuff, but many of us don't know how to take care of our skin during the winter months. With the weather getting colder, our skin will face some serious challenges, but with a few tips and a little common sense, you'll be just fine. Tips for Beautiful Winter Skin: One of the biggest concerns we deal with, during winter, is dry skin. Skin can dry out extremely fast during colder months, due to the lack of humidity, coupled with the cold wintry air, it's the perfect storm for developing skin issues, but with a good skin care routine, you can have healthy, beautiful skin all winter long.
