American Living / Made For 12 Days Of Giving

November 30, 2011

Speaking of holiday gifts...

This year, I'm participating in American Living's Made For 12 Days of Giving program: myself and a few other bloggers were asked to choose our top holiday pick from their selection of gifts for everyone on your list, from clothing to accessories to pieces for the home (and even baby stuff - I love these coveralls).

Check back on December 12th to see what I chose! (Hint: you will be thoroughly unsurprised; it's something that I can't stop myself from picking up whenever I see one...and that I find especially irresistible in holiday colors. Any guesses?)

Lunch: Done

November 30, 2011

Fact: one should always keep eggs in the house for emergency meals - they can be mixed up with whatever else you find in your refrigerator (in this case, goat cheese and baby spinach leaves) and be quite delicious.

In other news, I am feeling extremely healthy and virtuous at the moment, being as my diet these days consists mostly of whatever I can locate and ingest with one hand and zero thought. Which usually means Pop Tarts. (I recommend the Brown Sugar and Cinnamon flavor.)

Presents For Everyone!

November 30, 2011

A gift suggestion that's 100% my kind of present:

A tarot deck (Golden Tarot is the one I own, and it's a great one for beginners; very pretty and user-friendly), either by itself or accompanied by a New Moon Creations Nature's Power Pendant (Lapis, pictured above, is to inspire a positive change).

The pendants come in a wide variety of stones intended to bring the wearer everything from luck to love to protection against negative energy, and are hand-made in Canada by my Aunt Trudy, who's offering RG readers 15% off of any purchase from her site. (She also does thoughtful and scarily accurate readings, which make a unique holiday present for anyone with introspective leanings.)

Good God, Ryan Reynolds…

November 29, 2011

...you look cute.

Although my crush on RR dissipated slightly following the People Sexiest Man In the World article in which he seemed sorta...I don't know...rehearsed? ("I like motorcycles and other super-cool-guy things but am also deeply sensitive and cook perfect curries with red roses clutched between my teeth." Sort of like that)...I have to say it: the man dresses seriously well. Hats and vests - especially over layers - can look extremely fussy and trying-too-hard on the wrong guy, but this just looks...

...

...dreamy.
