Customized Gifts | Zazzle
Ever think... What am I going to get her/him/mom/dad/brother/sister or in laws during this time of year?
We all do or at least those who aren't good at gift giving. We spend endless hours browsing sites, looking at top rated gifts, and browsing gift guides. Even though you've seen Oprah's top list and still thought... "None of these are going to work" , there is still hope. There is still a place where you can get really cool gifts that you can be sure no one else has or will get.
You can get those gifts at Zazzle. A bay area based company that literally lets you customize any product within reason ( like faux unicorn heads to underwear) and you can even shop millions of designs already made. Their site is so easy to use, you can create your own design in Photoshop or upload your own photo or use an existing design and add a personalized element to make it unique. And there is literally something for everyone. Since there are so many perfect gifts for everyone, it will be a mini series for different personalities. Here are some top picks for gifting this year for that modern house wife who is still working but she's totally a secret 50's housewife and you can't get over how she keeps her house in perfect shape! If you still need more inspiration shop their curated gift guides! - Oh you can even get custom house decor if your still in need of some updating!

Steal the Spotlight
As the bells keep ringing, or wait is that just my email going off with another invite...?
Yes, it is that time of year where we are left with no time to Netflix and Chill because our evenings are filled with holiday parties. It is the time to laugh, cheer, and of course time to show off to everyone you haven't seen in so long just how good you look. This is no time to blend in with the decor or the couch ( unless your at home with mom and dad and just can't even adult - then blend in with the couch you may). My biggest struggle every time we have a Friendsgiving, White Elephant exchange or a Christmas soiree - is what to wear. Of course, being a mom this is not easy because you have to think well- what can I sacrifice to hide my mombod and get adorned with baby food. If you have the opposite problem with "Gosh I just can wear anything", here are some top picks to look stunning this holiday season from Etsy. So get browsing for your next steal the spotlight little number!
And of course, a mommy dress to go too! Pair this comfy number with some booties, bold lipstick and a bun and here I come!

Minted & Foiled
The Holidays are upon us, and we can here the bells ringing- well at your local department store they are! People are ready to switch to jingle bells and skip the whole turkey meal all together, and we kinda agree. What better way to kick off your family holiday spirit than with Christmas cards!
One of my all-time favorite card shops is Minted. Not only
for their modern luxurious style designs but also all the variety they offer
from laser cut, foil to getting crafty with new age style ornaments that are actually invites. If you have not tried them yet- I suggest you
take some time to browse their easy to use site and let your holiday crafter go
wild! Did I mention they even do recipient addressing!
To make the holidays a little bit easier on your budget,
they are having their FreeFoil Event until Monday 11/16 where you can get 20% all foil products- Yes,
this means you’re getting foil on your Christmas cards this year to stand out
from all the others. Browse Minted's Foil-Pressed Art Collection and get inspired to deck the
halls with Minted art this holiday season.
Hurry and save a little so you can get yourself something extra
sweet this season!

Good Morning Hawaii
The best part of my day is waking up a little early to squeeze in a morning walk around the complex and listen to music to get my body ready for the day. It is always nice to have some alone time before anyone is awake. I love getting to sun make its way up into the sky and greet the island with aloha.
I just started this new routine because after a long day at the office, between meetings, phone calls, reports and all, I get home drained with no energy to do anything at all. I started looking into ways to boost my energy and of course I saw the usual. Eat a balanced diet, (I am also on the Keto Diet, so no carbs on this side), drinking water, stretching, coffee and a few other things of course. I eat well, I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and I drink water - enough though I am trying hard to drink more! One thing that was been working for me now is getting in my short walks in the morning before I start my day. It can be as short as 10-15 minutes or a jog around the block but this has been my heaven and gives me an extra boost to get through the day.
I even started stretching at work. I know we've all seen those ugly signs that say "Stretch at Your Desk" and they claim that it will help. It really does though, I do a handful of small stretches and it loosens up my body and the blood starts pumping again. I am one of those workers who gets glued to her desk and only leave when I have to in order to get through my to do's. But even take out 2 minutes to step back and breathe before you tackle the rest of your day.
