I discovered the Nest Fragrances Wild Oats & Bourbon candle at last summer's Laura Slatkin event, and ever since I've been obsessed. It's cozy, exotic, and infused with notes of ginger and bourbon, and is just perfect for the winter months - I want my entire apartment to smell exactly like this from October through March.
Anyway, I love this candle so much that I want you to have it. Fortunately, Nest Fragrances has very generously offered to do a Ramshackle Glam giveaway! To enter to win the Wild Oats & Bourbon candle, just comment below telling me your favorite wintry scent.

I love Dr. Phil.
Or, perhaps more accurately, I love watching Dr. Phil. I mean, I don't necessarily agree with him 100% of the time, and I'm not entirely certain I'd want to have him over for dinner (I think he'd stress me out)...but the man usually does offer some fantastic advice.
Take for example, this Q&A from a recent episode of the OWN Network's Ask Oprah's All Stars.
Q. I've been a bridesmaid 11 times in the past four years. Each wedding has cost around a thousand dollars. I love my friends and I can't say no, so what's the best way for me to save up?
