Top 7 Holiday Makeup Tips

Check out these great Holiday Makeup Tips courtesy of 

Abe's Market! 

They are offering Free Shipping on any orders through December 16th!

Go here for this awesome promo:


TOP 7 HOLIDAY MAKEUP TIPS

Check out these holiday makeup tips from Katey Denno, celebrity makeup artist. They're wallet-friendly, all natural and will leave you looking perfectly polished and radiant. 


Right as Red'Tis the season to wear a red lip! Remember: A red lip can mean the most sheer wash of a rosy tinted lip balm, a slightly stained red pout, a cherry pop of gloss or an intensely bright red — or even mulberry — smile.


Let it Glow, Let it Glow, Let it GlowMy favorite look, regardless of age, skin color and style is always healthy, glowing skin. This generally means raising the stakes when it comes to adding to your moisturizing routine, particularly if you're noticing a little dryness or lack of radiance. There are countless oils and rich face creams on the market at a variety of price points with different scents, boasting a variety of features: anti-sagging, wrinkle-removing, dark spot busting.

Shimmer & Shine!In addition to adding moisture, you may also want to invest in a good luminizing product. These come in a variety of forms, from cream to liquid and even powder. The trick is to find one that is either sheer enough that it dissolves into your skin, or one that has a little warmth to it to give your skin a healthy, warmed-up glow. Swirl it on the tops of cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose and in the inner corners of your eyes ... and even atop your cupid's bow.

Ash Be GoneDry winter air can also wreak havoc on your skin, which is especially important to note if you're going to be wearing any sleeveless party tanks or showing off a little leg. Finding a rich body moisturizer or oil and adding it to your post-shower routine will give you the limbs you love to show off.

Nail It!If you want to add a pop of color to your look that is super simple and requires no upkeep throughout the evening, don't neglect your nails! Adding a bright red polish, a sparkly gold or silver glitter-filled varnish or even a sheer wash of clear for a reflective effect, can be just the thing to bring your look into the holiday spirit.

It's in the EyesAdding sparkle and glimmer to your eyelids or lash line can really make you feel glamorous and party ready — and can be extremely simple. Pick a shadow with some reflective component in a neutral shade and dust it along your lid and under your lash line. Add a few coats of black mascara and you're ready to party! A deep shade with shimmer in it can be applied as a liner if you wet a small brush with water, press it into the shadow and swipe it along your lash line. Voila: instant liner!

Scents of the SeasonFinally, you may want to experiment with adding a slightly more wintery fragrance to really get you into a joyous mood. Think deeper, musky, woodsy or, on the flip side, clean, crisp and white. Either way, you can't go wrong with a little dab on the wrists, behind the ears and the backs of your knees!

New Year, Now YOU #Giveaway

Welcome to the New Year, Now YOU Giveaway!


This giveaway is being hosted by the Southern Mom Media bloggers and Adventures of a Midlife Mommy, Down South Savings 

And is sponsored by 


New Year, New You Giveaway


You're spending the holidays thinking about others. Whether it be your children, your husband, friends or family, the holidays are all about others. But when the holidays are over, its YOU time.

Hammacher Schlemmer Six Device Charging Clock Radio

I received the following in exchange for an honest review.

The Six Device Charging Clock Radio


The Six Device Charging Clock Radio.

This is the speaker dock that charges up to six devices at once. Six USB ports in back of the dock charge any smartphone, tablet computer, or another USB-powered device, enabling several devices to charge in one convenient location while requiring only a single wall outlet. The dock plays music from any connected device through dual integrated stereo speakers and three universal cradles hold two smartphones and a tablet upright, allowing you to watch videos or listen to a music collection while the devices charge. The unit requires less space than a toaster and it has built-in power surge protection, an FM clock radio, an LCD clock, and an alarm.
This clock has been a sanity saver from me. My bedside was so cluttered with cords for charging my phone, my husband's phone, and my Kindle. Plus the additional cord for the alarm clock and lamp.

Now all I have to plug in is this clock radio and my lamp, everything else is plugged into the back of my new clock! 

It has 6 USB ports and a built-in power surge protector (so I was able to move my surge protector to another much-needed place in the house.)

I can also plug either my phone or my Kindle into the speakers and play my music from it! I have several meditation and sleep tracks that I've just now been able to utilize, its great!

The alarm clock itself features two alarms which can be set to either music (because its also a radio!) or a buzzer. Normally a person might set one for themselves and one for their partner. I use them both for myself (my husband works out of town anyway), I'm just not a morning person. I use these alarms on top of the three I already had on my phone to make sure we don't miss the bus (much.)

It also has a remote control! With the remote control you can set the clock and the alarms, control the radio channels, volume and equalizer. 
You can even use the snooze function with the remote (not a good idea for me)

Last but not least, there is also a small LED light! It emits just enough light to see your devices, nothing overpowering and you can turn it on and off easily as needed (you know, for in the middle of the night when your little ones come in?)

Overall, I am tickled pink over this. I've seen other products similar to this but NOTHING with so many features. Its a clock, an alarm, a speaker dock, a light, a radio and a charger all in one. Fabulous!

You'll find this and other great gift ideas at Hammacher Schlemmer who has been offering "The Best, The Only, and The Unexpected for over 165 years"

I have two other products from Hammacher Schlemmer that I will be posting soon, you will not believe some of the things that they have on this site so be sure to head over and check it out. Then stay tuned here for a couple of more reviews.

ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners in assault on clean energy

Image courtesy of duron123 at FreeDigitalPhotos.net


This is the most outrageous thing I've heard in a very long time.

An alliance of corporations referred to as ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) is attempting to pass legislation that will penalize home owners who install their own solar panels, calling them "freeriders" of the system.

They are even looking at charging those who feed energy back into the system!

Further details of Alec's strategy were provided by John Eick, the legislative analyst for Alec's energy, environment and agriculture program.

Eick told the Guardian the group would be looking closely in the coming year at how individual homeowners with solar panels are compensated for feeding surplus electricity back into the grid.

Make Memories with Unique Children's Books from Blurb

Making memories: Share the experience of a unique children’s book from Blurb


There’s something about the holidays—that warm glow from the fire, the fact that you actually get to spend time with your kids (or your friends’ and family’s kids)—that makes it the perfect time to curl up with the little ones in your life and read them a storybook. Reading a totally new, beautiful, amazing book with a child is a treasured holiday experience. And if you choose the right book, every time the child reads it alone in the future will bring back the memory of that time you shared.

If you’re a little tired of the standard children’s book selections in your local brick and mortar store, Blurb has a really incredible assortment of self-published children’s books that you won’t find anywhere else this holiday season. Try a few of these future classics and create some new holiday memories this year.


Title: Ollie + Loo
Author: Joni Cooper
Joni Cooper brings incredibly original characters to life with brilliant illustrations in a book that will have parents and kids laughing along together.


Title: Edward Hopper and the Carrot Crunch
Author: Mike Smith
Very few children’s books have financial mismanagement as a central theme—we can only assume most children’s book authors have not had the pleasure of meeting a rabbit named Edward Hopper.


Title: My Bug Journal
Author: Hannah Rollings
Bug-lover or other, this journal is sure to spark interest from anyone who takes a peek inside the covers. Enchanted illustrations, bug facts, room for records and much, much more.

God's Hands Volcanic Stone Statue From The New Age Source ~ #Review

I received the following in exchange for an honest review.

I have spent hours browsing The New Age Source recently, they have such a fantastic variety of products to choose from. I still use my salt lamp everyday so I knew that whatever I chose would be great.

I finally decided on this Volcanic Stone Statue of God's Hands for review.

God's Hands Volcanic Stone Statue from The New Age Source

The statue weighs about 6 pounds and came very carefully packaged. The volcanic stone material gives it a very unique texture, its really nice. I wanted to give you an idea of the size as it can be hard to tell from the picture so I put a couple of medium-sized onions in there for comparison:

God's Hands Volcanic Stone Statue from The New Age Source

You'll notice a color difference from the site and my picture. I believe this is a consequence of using a natural material which, for me, makes it that much more unique.

I am very pleased with this. I haven't decided yet what (if anything) I will put in them but it definitely won't be onions. I feel like this is something that we can keep in our family for years to come.

The New Age Source also sells a smaller version of this statue as well as several other deity statues and figurines. Whatever your beliefs, you're sure to find something that you can fall in love with.

They have also generously offered to give one lucky reader their own statue and we will be giving this away along with two other products from the same site. Stay tuned for that.

In Rememberance

One year ago today my Daddy passed away from liver cancer.

It was hard watching him go from a strong man in his prime to a shell of the person he once was.

Yet even during that time his personality always shone through.

He was headstrong, stubborn, fiercely independent and at the same time he hated to be alone.

I miss him terribly but I also feel like he never left us.

I always know what answer he would give to any question I might have for him today. I can still hear his voice in my head. Most of the time I feel like he is right here with me.

There are many things that he taught me that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

He taught me to be independent. Strong. Loyal. And he also instilled in me a love of great classic music. And every time I hear a song from my childhood its like he's right beside me again.

I don't usually post things that are that personal but I was browsing around my YouTube history and came across a song that he introduced me to and I wanted to share it.

Its called Seven Spanish Angels by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Is Your Pet A Messy Eater? Save Your Floors With Neater Feeder #Review

Are you constantly sweeping up stray pieces of dog food from your floor? Or worse, water droplets that may be big enough to qualify as a puddle? Is your pet's eating area an eye sore? If your pet is a messy eater then you'll definitely want to check out the Neater Feeder


The Neater Feeder has saved my kitchen floors and my sanity and it looks so good! I love having this in my kitchen now but my absolute favorite part is the adjustable height. My dog is getting pretty old and although he still seems to be in good health I can tell that he gets achy bones and joints. I love the fact that he doesn't have to bend all the way down to floor level to eat or drink anymore.

He hasn't exactly said so, but I think he appreciates it too. 

Lets take a quick look at the anatomy of the Neater Feeder:


There are three main design aspects that make this feeder, well....NEATER. 

The upper reservoir is where the stainless steel food and water bowls (included) sit. This piece creates the barrier between your pet's food and your floor as it features a "wall" that prevents your pet (or your feet) from splashing water or food out of the bowls. Any food or water that falls (or is pushed) goes into the surrounding reservoir where it is then "sorted". 

The water drain makes sure that the water goes into the bottom reservoir and the food stays up top. No more mushy food mess!

The bottom reservoir holds the spilled water in the container where it can be easily emptied and cleaned.

For pets of a taller breed, leg extensions are available, making eating much more comfortable for them as they can eat at shoulder level. The skid-proof pads on the bottom make sure that your feeder stays in place.

Pipes tends to get excited about food sometimes and has been known to push his bowl clear to the other side of the kitchen! This hasn't been a problem at all since we got the Neater Feeder.

The Neater Feeder comes in several sizes so you can be sure that they have one in a size that's perfect for your pet too. You can choose between large, medium, small, and cat sizes. For a full list of available sizes of the feeder and their food and water capacity check out the Neater Feeder Size Chart.

If ants or bugs are a problem around your home then this is an even better value. The neater feeder keeps food off the floor, protecting it from bugs and ants.

This is by far one of the best and most useful items that I have received for review. Aside from the obvious benefits, I just like looking at it. Its like the Cadillac of all pet feeders.

I give this product:


AND Pipes approves too!
