***Disclosure: This post was created in partnership with SUSU Handbags and eAccountable. All opinions are my own, and have not been influenced in any way.*** Sure, Christmas might be officially over, but now comes the real fun. All of those gift cards that were received can now be put to good use, and we women can get what we REALLY wanted.
Since I can't exactly purchase Bruno Mars on a silver platter, I think a nice, high-quality handbag will have to do. Hey, a good bag could catch a grenade for me, too, right? Maybe? Okay, I will keep dreaming. Anyway, I am a bit of a handbag addict. I have dozens, in all different shapes, sizes, and materials. One thing I have learned over the years is that sometimes, you truly do get what you pay for. Sure, there are some cute bags available at your local discount supercenter, but these bags simply don't hold up, in my opinion. Why pay good money for a bag that's going to start coming apart at the seams in a matter of weeks or months?

For the 2014 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day! Today, I would love to talk about bling. You know, things that sparkle, shine, and make a woman feel beautiful. With the Holidays upon us, many are trying to find the perfect gifts for the special ladies in their lives. Whether she's young or old, jewelry is always a safe bet. You might even get an extra kiss or two under the mistle-toe! I do realize that jewelry can be expensive. Not everyone can afford to run to their nearest high end jeweler and drop hundreds or even thousands of dollars on diamonds and rubies and the like. (I know WE can't, at least!) Did you know that there are equally beautiful, less expensive handmade options out there? That's right...I said handmade. Trust me, men out there. Chicks dig handmade items. They're much more personal than mass produced goods. One of my favorite places to get unique, gorgeous handmade jewelry is South Paw Studios. This up-and-coming studio is actually located here in my home state of Ohio, and wonderful things are made here in the Buckeye State. Just look at LeBron...Or me. Haha. Anyway, South Paw Studios offers some stunning necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that are sure to please any lady on your gift list this year. The Holidays are upon us! You all know what that means! Presents being unwrapped, smiling, happy faces of family and friends, and loads and loads of delicious food. (The food is probably my favorite part of the Holiday season!) But with all the Holiday feasting comes gas. You know...Tummy troubles. Cramping, bloating, and maybe even a mad dash to the restroom or three. Some foods, while absolutely amazing, can definitely create a lot of chaos internally. For me, the triggers seem to be spicy foods and even leafy greens. For some reason, as I have gotten older, my body simply doesn't digest certain foods as easily as it did in my younger years. Now, I have to think twice before reaching for certain dishes, like my almost-famous Stuffed Pepper Stew. This makes me sad, because my Stuffed Pepper Stew is absolutely amazing. Thankfully, this Holiday season I have a secret weapon on my side. The embarrassing, uncomfortable gas will be a thing of the past thanks to CharcoCaps® Anti-Gas Formula. CharcoCaps® are made from activated charcoal, an ingredient commonly used by hospitals to treat accidental poisonings. Of course CharcoCaps® Anti-Gas Formula, being an OTC product, are not meant to treat poisonings. They can, however, allow you to eat all of your favorite foods without the worry of bloating or embarrassing gas! Oh, and they're completely safe, and provide gentle relief of all those annoying symptoms. Did you know that just ONE teaspoon of activated charcoal has the surface area of a football field? This is all thanks to its amazing absorption properties! So when you find yourself surrounded by trigger foods, simply take 2 CharcoCaps® and eat away. You can repeat every 2 hours as necessary, but do not exceed 16 capsules per day.
I have had the pleasure of putting CharcoCaps® Anti-Gas Formula to the test, and I have to say, I am definitely impressed. Recently, I made a couple of my favorite foods for dinner. We had my Secret-Ingredient Diner Style Grilled Cheese and my Stuffed Pepper Stew. These are foods that would normally cause me some digestive issues. Okay, who am I kidding? This combination of foods would usually cause me to stink my family out of the room thanks to the gas they produce. Hey, just keeping it real here, folks. I have no shame. I am a woman, and I fart. My ex-husband used to say that classy women don't fart, but that's a different post entirely. I have been taking CharcoCaps® before eating my trigger foods, and I have definitely noticed that my "tummy troubles" have lessened considerably. I have not experienced the typical cramping, bloating, or nasty, odiferous gas while using CharcoCaps®. For this, I am very grateful, and I am sure my family is, too! CharcoCaps® Anti-Gas Formula is available at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and other US retailers nationwide in both 36-count blister packs and 100 count bottles. Suggested retail cost for a 36-count blister pack is $9.49. Definitely a small price to pay for some major relief, don't you agree? For more information, please visit the CharcoCaps website. Enter to WIN : Visit the CharcoCaps® Holiday Eating Survival Guide for quick tips on how to avoid gas and bloat during your holiday festivities, and to enter to win one of five weekly $250 Walmart gift cards for holiday groceries and entertaining essentials! http://www.charcocaps.com/holiday-eating
