Social and Savvy: Skills for Holiday Parties

Sometimes being social at a holiday get together with friends and co-workers may not be your strong suit, and that’s okay. Making small talk isn’t always fun, but there are other ways to still be social without having to exert all of your energy keeping the conversations going. Instead of talking the entire night focus on getting people a refill on their drinks and food, using your e cig to take a break, doing activities such as games as opposed to talking. It’s okay to enjoy a holiday event without talking the entire time. Just be you and everything else will fall into place.

Engage in Games

Usually there are always games at a party and if there are not, why not recommend to others that you play some? Games are a great way to take the focus on party gossip and instead engage in fun activities that create a lot of laughter. Plus games will allow you to get to know another person instead of engaging in long conversations. You can be social without figuring out what to talk about the entire time at the social gathering.

Enjoy E-cigs at Parties

E-cigarettes are growing in popularity and are much more socially acceptable than traditional cigarettes. As a smoker you may feel that enjoying a cigarette would be nice with your food and drink. This is especially true when you’re in a social setting. An e-cig may also help you enjoy the company more if you’re an introvert. You might want to ask the party host if you can enjoy an e-cig before actually doing it, but they should have no problem with it. A 21^st Century e-cig is a great alternative in public places. If affordability is an issue you can apply a 21^st Century Smoke coupon to try e-cigs for yourself.

Put on a Holiday Movie

If you’re good friends with the hosts of the party sometimes it’s nice to have a movie on in one of the rooms in the house. This provides people a way to take a break from all of the social activity and it also adds to the festive cheer. Recommend that they put on a funny holiday film that everyone will enjoy. When the movie is playing you may find yourself connecting with someone you didn’t know well prior just because you both share a love for the same film. A holiday movie is another great ice breaker which will make socializing more enjoyable.

 

Transform Your Hair with TRESemme + Contest #TresemmeTransformation

                     

          

            This post is sponsored by Global Influence, but all opinions are my own.

                     

Winter is here that means months of dealing with hat hair, tons of static, flyaways and dull dry hair. The icy blasts of air and indoor heat will sneak in a steal all the hydration from my hair, leaving me with dull dehydrated locks. Winter weather can wreck havoc on our hair, so I was definitely ready for the TRESemme Transformation.

I have really long hair, yet I only had about 3 hairstyles; Up, Down, & a regular braid. Not very exciting right? Hey, I’m a work at home mom. Most of the time I’m wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and ponytail. Hey, I like it like that! It’s comfy (and I can’t manage to style my hair at ALL)shh.

What if you could have a chance to win a gift card and some TRESemme swag just for pampering yourself? Now you can!

MyCharge.com Energy Shot Portable Rechargeable Smartphone Charger

 

Holiday season is near, which means it’s time to stock up on gear. The upside of living in a tech world with so many digital devices such as tablets and smartphones is knowledge. We have so much potential lying at our fingertips just waiting to be typed into a search engine. We can read as many books as we want without lugging around all those books.The downside is that they die, unlike books.

I am a reader by nature, I love to read. I spend most of my time reading. I love to learn but when I’m waiting at the doctors office I just can’t whip out a textbook and read it. I mean, I CAN but I can’t stick in my purse can I? My smartphone is my lifeline as a writer, so don’t need the battery drained and no way to charge it. I also let my kids play games, read books, and do learning apps on my phone, so that means extra drainage.

              

Now I don’t have to worry about it. The My Charge Energy Shot is the right name for this portable battery charger. It’s about the size of a real energy shot, which is amazing. I can carry this even in the smallest pocket of my purse. There are other battery chargers out there, but I don’t think I’ve seen one quite this small before. It works efficiently, quickly, and takes up almost no space. WIN!

The Mycharge Energy Shot comes in different colors, but I received the black one with the silver tip. It resembles a larger version of an AA battery, which is pretty cool. Silver on one end, black on the other. It retails for about $25 and comes with 9+ hours of talk time (while being connected to your phone) and 7+ hours of browsing on a 3G network. My phones are both 4G so we get about 5.5-6 hours of browsing when we’re connected. Just depends on what your phone browsing network is.

It is nothing short of amazing. Big punch in such a small device. It works with any smartphone, which is also a win. I have a Galaxy S4 & my hubs has a Nokia Lumia Icon and it charges both very quickly. My phone was on 35% and I really needed to do some research for a craft piece I’m working on. I connected this and it was 40% within 5 minutes of me scrolling and reading a ton of websites which was pretty cool.

I love that it doesn’t get got when it’s charging, which makes it easier to place in a hoodie or jacket pocket. It has multiple levels of protection from getting overheated and spazzing out or shortcirciting. I absolutely love that it has a light indicator at the top of the battery. It shows different colored lights depending on how charged it is. Makes it so much easier to know when it needs to be plugged up. I don’t unexpectedly have to deal with a dead phone AND dead charger, whew would that be horrible.

There are three way that this can be recharged. It comes with a short recharging cord, but my Galaxy S4 charger recharges it as well. Just place the smaller side of the USB cord into the mycharge port. You can then attach the other larger side of the cord to a computer USB port, a car charger port, or even a wall charger port. Simple and easy with a variety of options, my kind of amazing right there.

Adam loves this mycharge Energy Shot. He works 12 hours at a factory and it gets extremely boring. He doesn’t work somewhere where there could be emergencies, so they are allowed to wear headphone earbuds in one ear. He listens to music and football/basketball games while he works, so it can drain his battery throughout that 12 hours. He gets an hour lunch, so he also watches movies on his phone, so that drains the battery life as well.

He was having to put the phone in the truck after his lunch break (connected to our car charger) so that he could use it later on in the night. We have a portable phone charger but it’s actually pretty big. It isn’t something he could connect and put in his pocket, to charge while working though. This one he said is perfect. He can connect this one, putting both his phone and the charger in his pocket without it being bulky.

Ocean Adventures Not to Miss with Your Family

If you’re getting away to a warmer climate this winter there are plenty of ocean adventures you can enjoy. Sailing, kayaking, surfing, and building a sand castle are just a few activities that you can do. If the entire family is coming on the trip pack the right clothing and accessories. Bring plenty of tee-shirts, sweaters, and waterproof gear. Also don’t forget about flip flops and closed toed shoes that will protect feet from rocks depending on the activities you plan to do. Besides what to bring it’s important to have fun! Enjoy your time away and look forward to ocean adventures you won’t forget.

Out to Sea on a Sailing Yacht

          Image Source: Wikimedia Commons; Yacht

If you don’t know how to sail on your own you can join a group on a sailing yacht. While on board you will need appropriate shoes. Reef Coastal Cruisers are quality boat shoes that are made with a vulcanized mid sole tape for added durability. Choose your boat shoes accordingly for the entire family and also layer your clothing. If you don’t own a sailing jacket start layering with a tee-shirt followed by a sweater and then a water proof jacket. You can take a layer off if you get warm but depending on the season you will most likely be cool so wear enough clothing during this adventure.

Once you’re on the boat you’ll be amazed of the size. Some yachts are 51 feet, which is ample room for you to explore but still be careful when you’re out to sea! Ask the person in charge if you can take the helm. You’ll love being in charge temporarily. Also relax under the covered cockpit, and don’t forget to watch wildlife up close from the bow or take it all in from a private setting on the deck.

Kayaking to an Island

            Image Source: Wikimedia Commons; Kayaking

Depending on where you vacation kayaking to an island may be available. Enjoy this grand adventure with a family member as you make your way to a sandy island that you can explore. Once you’re out of the kayak explore the sandy dunes. However, don’t take your shoes off because depending on the day your feet may burn on the sand. A little girl should wear girl’s essential shoes that keep her feet protected. Have her wear flip flops made with an EVA construction with anatomical arch support.

Building a Sand Castle

Image Source: Wikimedia Commons; Sand Castle

Building a sand castle with your kids never gets old. Have a beach day with your family and bring all the supplies your kids need to build a fun sand castle. Of course they can just use their hands, but plastic castles that they can fill with sand can help them build a sand castle more quickly.

When having a beach day it’s important to put sunscreen on your little ones. They should also wear durable flip flops so that their feet won’t burn. Just like with sailing layering is important. The day may start out cool but later get really warm. Having a swimming suit, a tee shirt, sweater, and even waterproof gear will prepare you for any weather situation. Have fun on your ocean adventures by being prepared and making long lasting memories with your family!

 

What would you do out on the ocean if time or money wasn’t a factor? Let me know!

Facts and Figures About Pumpkins, America’s Favorite Halloween Fruit [Infographic]

 Image Source: Sparefoot.com

Pumpkins are deceiving. The orange gourds look so rough and tough, but they’re actually rather delicate.

The rind is the only protection a pumpkin has, agriculture experts say. Once the rind is bruised or pierced, organisms will invade and quickly eat away at the pumpkin. That’s frightening. Given their fragile nature, pumpkins must be stored properly.

Growers are advised to store pumpkins on wooden pallets in cool, dry places. Pumpkins aren’t supposed to be put on concrete floors, and they’re not supposed to touch each other. The ideal storage temperature is roughly 50 degrees to 60 degrees, with relative humidity at 50 percent to 70 percent.

Fun Pumpkin Facts:

• 6 out of the 7 continents can produce pumpkins, which includes Alaska. Brr.. The only continent the pumpkin can’t flourish in is Antarctica.

• A 5 foot wide pumpkin pie weighing in at 350 pounds? Can you imagine that? That is how big the world’s largest pumpkin is.

• What about the World’s Largest Pumpkin ever grown? 2032 pounds and

In this infographic, SpareFoot carves out various facts and figures about our favorite Halloween fruit. (Yes, it’s a fruit).

Hope you enjoyed learning about Pumpkins!
Until next time,

DIY Halloween Looks with Makeup You Already Own with Sarah Tanno, Celebrity Makeup Artist |

Halloween makeup needs to endure hours and hours of performance and wear. Can you share some of your best products, tips or tricks to make highly pigmented makeup stay on and stay bright all night long?

You have to have the right long-wear products and set them correctly so you don't fade, smudge or crease. My favorite for bright pigment and long-wear is MAC Chromaline Creme Pots, they can work as liner, shadow, whatever you want and are waterproof and smudge-proof. 

They are so easy to apply in any design and once they dry they don't move. When finished applying seal the entire look with a few sprays of Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray that holds through long hours and intense heat for a look that will last all night long.


Popular DIY costume looks for this Halloween season you can recreate with makeup you already own.


Zombie as "Walking Dead" Costume:

This look is all about lightening the skin. Start by mixing your regular matte foundation, I recommend high-resistance foundation like Armani Lasting Silk UV Foundation with MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation in white. This will subtlety lighten and make skin look pale.

 For a more drastic look, try just the white MAC Face and Body Foundation with a white setting powder and finish with Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray in Oil Control to avoid any shine. For dark, ox-blood lips, try black liner blended with matte lip color like NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu. Its super pigmented and last forever, apply messy for a scary look.

Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" Costume:

To achieve a green smokey eye like Nicki Minaj had for the Anaconda VMA performance, first apply Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Mildew heavily on lash line and blend out over most of your eyelid.

Follow by using Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Perversion just at the base of the lash line and blend together with a smudging brush. For extra long-wear I like to spray my smudging brush with a spray of Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray to really get the color to stay and prevents creasing.

Finish with heavy mascara, my favorite is Dior Addict It-Lash Mascara. Or try some false lashes for a more dramatic glam look, my favorite are Eylure Exaggerate #140.

These tips are from Sarah Tanno, who asked to Guest Post on the blog.
