He is at the awkward age of almost 14 where trends and tastes change like Kim Kardashian changes men. (Love ya, KK, but it's true!)
So clothing is out, since styles change too often to invest in an entire wardrobe of emo clothes when next week it will be preppy. Toys are also out, at least 99% of the time, because he's too old and cool to play with the vast majority of them The one way I can guarantee gift-giving success when shopping for my teen is by choosing technology. You can never go wrong with gifts that offer game play, reading e-books, listening to music, surfing the web, or watching TV or movies. But what if there was a product that could do all of that and more, without carrying hefty monthly data fees or subscriptions? Meet the PlayMG, one of the hottest electronic gifts this Holiday season! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

(Unless they've been living under a rock somewhere.) The reason that this brand is basically a household name is because that for a whopping 96 years, they have been delighting children with their little red wagons, tricycles, and more!
When I was a little girl, I am pretty sure we had a Radio Flyer wagon. I used to live at the bottom of a dead end street, and we would race our bikes and wagons down the hill. (This sometimes ended in injury, but we were kids, and it was all good fun.) Even though I am a little bit older now and have kids of my own, Radio Flyer is still going strong. In fact, they have more innovative new products than ever! For example, their brand new EZ Fold Stroll 'N Trike is a product that can be used for several years since it actually grows with your child! ***Disclosure: I received a gaming goodie bag from Activision for attending the Family Game Summit. I am passing along some of these goodies to you for the Holidays.*** Recently, I attended the Activision Family Game Summit. Sadly, I was not local, so I didn't attend in person. I did check it out online, though, and learned about some great new games that are sure to be huge hits this Holiday season. To thank me for attending, I received a big box packed full of video games and other gaming swag. Some I am keeping.....Some, I am passing along to you. That's right! Over the next month, look for more great gaming prizes!
The first gaming giveaway is for this XBOX 360 Skylanders Starter Pack. These are HUGE right now! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My husband seems to go through sunglasses like Kim Kardashian goes through men...He will have a pair he loves, and then somehow they get broken or lost. It probably doesn't help that we have 2 curious preschoolers grabbing at them all the time!
So when I was asked to review some eyewear from Firmoo, an online optical store, I jumped at the chance. I hopped right onto their website and started looking around. They have a great selection of styles that will suit any facial shape and style. They even have a virtual try on system that allows you to place the glasses on your face to see how they would look. Pretty cool, right? After looking around for a good hour, I actually found a pair that Dan really, really loved! Well, I was very excited about the perfect glasses we found, and then I learned that I could only select my review glasses from a very small list. This changed things in a big way....These were a decent selection, but nothing that my husband really liked, style wise. Ultimately, we ended up choosing these sunglasses. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

You know the old saying, "True beauty comes from the inside"? Well, this statement is true in more than one way. Of course a kind heart and loving personality make a person beautiful. Attitude is everything, and genuine kindness is one of the most attractive qualities a person can possess, and it's one that generally radiates from the inside out.
Another way to enhance physical beauty from the inside is to take one's cellular health into account. A healthy inside makes for a more radiant and beautiful outside. There are many wonderful supplements that can be taken to improve overall health and wellness, and many of these products can be found in nature. Things like Fish Collagen, Blueberries, and Pomegranates have amazing restorative properties that can help improve the elasticity of the skin, help slow hair loss, and even help promote the healing of wounds! And these are just a few of the many benefits that can be found in these natural substances! That's where one of my favorite companies, NeoCell, can help! You see, natural beauty is kind of their specialty! Here's a bit more about the company and how they got their start in the beauty and nutrition industry: ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My daughter has recently become obsessed with dolls. (So has her little brother, but you'll see the adorable evidence of that if you keep reading.) I have noticed that so many fashion dolls are a lot more....mature looking than they need to be. Barbie has unrealistic proportions, and could not even survive as a living, breathing human being. (This has been proven. Google it for a real eye-opener!)
If an overdeveloped physical physique isn't enough, most fashion dolls are also dressed in outfits that are nowhere near age appropriate for the girls that play with them. Shoot, many of the wardrobe choices for dolls are almost sexual in nature and wouldn't even appear outside of a gentleman's club. Fashion dolls can really influence the way a girl looks at herself. Women and girls are hard enough on themselves, so having unrealistic standards of beauty everywhere can be damaging to body image and self-esteem. I know this for an absolute fact...I am kind of an expert here, as an eating disorder survivor. As the mom of a beautiful little girl, these are not the messages I want to convey to her. I want her to feel beautiful just the way she is, and I don't ever want her to feel like she needs to wear something skimpy or revealing to get attention. So when I discovered Lottie Dolls, I was absolutely thrilled. These dolls are a huge hit abroad, and have even won some great awards. You see, Lottie Dolls are designed to look like an average, normal, REAL 9 year old girl. Refreshing, isn't it? ***Disclosure:I am a paid Excedrin® Migraine blog ambassador.

There's spending time with family and friends, opening gifts, and of course, there is always great food and maybe a nice glass of wine.
Did you know that some of the things that make the Holidays so special can actually trigger migraines? It's true! Things like fatigue from traveling, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, and even scented candles or potpourri can bring on a migraine. I know for me, wine can be a definite trigger for migraines. I have to be very careful to drink it in moderation, and I always make sure to drink plenty of water to keep my hydration levels up, too. So yes, sadly this means I have to go easy on the egg nog. When all else fails and I feel the pain and pressure coming on, I turn to Excedrin Migraine for speedy relief. This is a must have in my purse and travel bag. I don't want a migraine to force me to miss out on the Holiday cheer and festivities! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My kids love their gummy vitamins. In fact, it's still a challenge to get them to comprehend that NO, they cannot have more. It's not candy! Anyway, since switching to gummy vitamins, there is absolutely no complaining anymore. They look forward to it every single day, and think they're getting a treat!
So when I learned about SmartyPants Gummy Vitamins for adults, I was very interested in trying them. I take supplements every day anyway, so why not make it more fun?!
