Tips For A Cozy Night In This Holiday Season

December means snowy nights, relaxing by the fire and adorning your home with festive holiday decorations. To create the perfect setting for a comfortable night in this holiday season, DIY Network host and Pine Mountain spokesperson Jason Cameron, has put together a go-to checklist for parents.    

 Some of Jason’s tips include:

·         Make a festive snack –Everyone loves making sugar cookies and gingerbread, but the best part is eating your creations! While snacking on cookies, wash it down with some hot chocolate or warm apple cider.

 

·         Light a fire – A fire is a great way to create a sense of warmth and bonding. Using a firelog such as the American Home™ by Yankee Candle® Balsam Fir Firelog is a great way to make your home smell of pine and eliminates the need to cut firewood.

 

·         Watch a holiday movie –From Frosty the Snowman to Elf, we all have a favorite holiday movie. These movies provide a sense of nostalgia for adults, and offer hours of entertainment for kids.

 

·         Decorate your home – Setting up holiday decorations in your home is a tradition that many families across the country have. Play some light music in the background and chat about your favorite holiday memories to make the activity more festive. 

 What are some of y'alls ideas for a fun night in.??

Winter Skin Survival

Chilly temperatures and dry heat from indoors will leave you with rough, flaky, itchy skin. Kick that dry skin to the curb by stepping up your hydration game ASAP.!

Your Body 

Stop scaly arms and itchy legs by making a few tweaks to your skincare routine..

✔Take warm [not hot] showers or baths and use a rich body wash. 

Bodycology 

available at Wal-Mart>

Sweetened Cherry

Iced peppermint body wash

After using the hydrating body wash->>

And getting out of the shower... drench yourself with a super hydrating lotion.

(The best are formulated for wet skin).

The best way to keep moisture locked inside your skin is to apply the lotion while your skin is still damp. 

Your Face 

Winter wind exposure dries out your complexion and chaps your face. The solution is to sneak in extra moisture to your daily skincare. Add some extra steps to prevent and exfoliate the dry skin away. 

Cyantific Skincare.

This luxurious night cream not only delivers immediate moisture, but also it contains PhycoBoost™, an all-natural extract of blue-green algae with unique amino acids, moisture-retaining carbohydrates, powerful antioxidants, and the ability to protect DNA from damage. 

Nourishing Daily Serum

This oil-free serum immediately tones and tightens skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Protecting Daily Lotion

Filled with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidizing, and moisturizing ingredients, niacinamide and murumuru palm, this lotion will leave skin looking clearer, more radiant, and noticeably younger with daily use.

Your Hands 

Frequent hand washing and hand sanitizers during flu and cold season leaves hands dry, flaky, and chapped. 

Go for a creamy, gentle hand cleanser that also has super hydration ingredients. 

After washing- always follow up with a super hydrating hand cream that provides moisture and healing.

Desperate Mother Seeks Help Locating Missing Son

Houston, TX, September 22, 2017– We would appreciate your help in getting the following information out to the public in hopes someone might remember seeing Johnathan Lee Hamilton who has been missing from Houston, TX, since May 2, 2015. Johnathan is 29 years old (DOB: 5-28-1988), 6'2” tall with brown hair and brown eyes, and has a small scar on his right eye and right hip. He was last seen wearing an 'Ezekiel' T-shirt, blue jeans and Coleman brand, suede-like tennis shoes. Please see picture below.

Johnathan suffered complications from Type 1 diabetes and we do know he was taken to two different hospitals, St. John's Methodist Nassau Bay and Bay Area Regional Hospital, a few days prior to his disappearance.

Johnathan was last seen by his family on May 2, 2015. He borrowed his father's vehicle (a 2008 GMC Envoy, Tag #CDM 1740) to run an errand, then returned to the house and left again in the vehicle.  When he did not return home that night, his mother filed a missing person's report with Houston Police. There had been no argument when Johnathan left, and the family said it was uncharacteristic for him not to let them know his whereabouts. They are certain he did not run away from home.

On May 4 he was reportedly seen entering and leaving a Best Buy store and it was in this parking lot at 761 Highway 71 in Bastrop, TX, that his vehicle was abandoned and later found by Bastrop Police Department.  When the family drove to where the car had been located, there was no sign of Johnathan. 

On May 5 the family received a call from him on someone else's cell phone, but when his father said he was going to pick him up, Johnathan told him not to and hung up. He reportedly also called his girlfriend to tell her he had been robbed. His cell phone was never recovered and there's no record of any activity on credit cards or social security number. Since there have been no new sightings on Johnathan for over two years, his case has gone cold – leaving a mother desperate to find out what happened to her son.

Anything you can do to help us get word out to the public would be greatly appreciated.

The innovators in nail color and treatment have now launched the amazing Color Therapy collection, marrying nail color and treatment into one amazing product.

INTRODUCING COLOR THERAPY FROM SALLY HANSEN..

THE ADVANCED NEW NAIL POLISH THAT COMBINES COLOR AND CARE

Finally, gorgeous “Color That Cares While You Wear.” The first Sally Hansen nail polish that uniquely blends saturated color and nourishing argan oil in 38 stunning shades created in partnership with Global Color Ambassador, Madeline Poole.

Sally Hansen continues to lead in innovation by introducing its new Color Therapy products:  a nail polish, top coat, and nail & cuticle oil, inspired by women’s desire to wear beautiful color while simultaneously caring for their nails. Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy nail polish contains a patented micro-delivery system that delivers an argan oil-enriched formula, resulting in intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthier-looking nails.

The Color Therapy nail polish needs no base coat so the oil complex can directly contact the bare nail. 9 out of 10 women experienced a noticeable improvement in their natural nails after wearing the Color Therapy nail polish. Vibrant tones, available in three magnificent palettes, glide on for a radiant, shiny finish with up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. The Color Therapy nail polish provides the ultimate color that cares while you wear, with everything needed to restore nails without sacrificing luminous color. 

Complete your manicure with the Color Therapy top coat and nail & cuticle oil, both formulated with the same argan oil contained in the nail polish. The top coat provides an ultra-glossy finish for extended wear, and the nail & cuticle oil, the ultimate in nail therapy, instantly makes nails and cuticles look healthier, restored, and rejuvenated. 

The Ingredient Story
Color Therapy blends a complex of natural argan, acai, and evening primrose oil to condition weak, dry nails. Argan oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamin E, an antioxidant vital for healthy skin and nails. Acai berry oil is rich in omega-3, 6, and 9 essential fatty acids that are valued for nutrition and conditioning in skin and hair care.

I See Me Personalized Lunch Box

Stylish Southern Mama received these products for review. All opinions are our own. 100% ;)

Adisyn received the all too adorable All-A-Flutter-Butterflies Personalized Lunch Box.

"She'll be all-a-flutter with excitement when she sees her name personalized on this darling little lunch box!"

This personalized lunchbox from I See Me is incredibly cute and super durable. It is the absolute perfect size for me to pack Adisyn's lunch for school and field trips.

I love the metal design and the fact that it's super durable and reliable. I don't have to worry that she is gonna smash her lunch before it's been eaten or her accidentally breaking the lunchbox.

As a busy mom I also love it's convenience and easy to clean design. I can just wipe it clean when something has been spilled or leaked. No sticky icky leftover mess. It can be wiped out or stuck in the dish water with your other dishes.

The inside of the lunchbox is super neat and incredibly thoughtful. It has the unique feature of including a chalkboard within the lid of the lunchbox. I really liked this! ! I love to write Adisyn notes or drawings each day as I pack her lunch. She loves writing me a note back, it's become a daily ritual for us. ☺

Adisyn adores this lunchbox, she loves the fact that it has her very unique name written on both the sides and front of the lunchbox. Her name is unique and has to be custom ordered, so when she seen her name she went bonkers. .lol.  She's infatuated, love at first sight.. lol. Pink is her favorite color and she loves the butterflies.

There are many designs to choose from on the website, so I'm sure you'll find something they'll like!

Thanks to I See Me & Stylish Southern Mama readers.

7 Hacks For the Perfect Road Trip

Going on a road trip has its pros and cons. Pros, you’re going on an awesome adventure; cons, it can be costly. Here are some hacks you can try to balance those pros and cons to reach vacation nirvana.

1. Download a gas app: 

One of the most costly aspects of any road trip, especially in this economy, is gas. When you’re travelling in an unfamiliar area, it’s hard to know where to stop for the most frugal fill-up. To aid in your decision, you can download GasBuddy or Gas Guru, only two of the several gas pricing apps. These apps display the location and gas prices of gas stations near you. Most apps like these are free and update pretty regularly, so you won’t be deceived when you pull up at the pump.

2. Take side stops: 

Have you ever gone on a trip and passed signs for museums or monuments that you think would be awesome to see in person? Allot time in your travel to make a few stops on the way to your destination. It will not only keep you entertained throughout your trip, but it will also give you a chance to stretch your legs and learn something new.

3. Gassing up a rented or borrowed car: 

Chances are, if you’ve never driven a car, you probably don’t remember which side the gas tank is on. If you do forget, look at the gas gauge. There is an arrow that will point to whichever side of the car the gas tank is on. This will save you a tiny bit of time and hassle when you have to stop

4. Stay awake while night driving:

 If you’re feeling sleepy, it’s probably best to switch drivers or check in to a hotel. But if you’re feeling only a little drowsy, try listening to comedians on your road trip. Odds are, the comedian will keep you laughing and their jokes will keep you engaged, chuckling and most importantly, awake, all the way home.

5. Know North from South:

 If you’re old school and like following paper directions instead of having a little square computer yell at you to turn, you know that your passenger might end up telling you a wrong direction by mistake. Remember that interstates and highways with odd numbers run North to South, and interstates with even numbers run East to West. If you get mixed up, this will help you get back on track, or at least in the right direction, in a jiffy.

6. Cool down hot cars quickly: 

In the dead of summer, stopping for only five minutes for a quick bathroom break can leave your car unbearably hot. To cool down a hot car in seconds, roll down one window all the way and open and close the car door directly across from that window a few times. This will force hot air out of the car.

7. Know where to get directions: 

When asking for directions, some people gravitate towards gas stations. However, the best place to ask for directions is a restaurant with a delivery service. Stop in at Pizza Hut or Dominos to ask for directions. Odds are, they have a driver waiting for a delivery who can give you quick and easy directions to a destination in the area.

With these seven road trip travel hacks, you’ll be ready to hit the road for the vacay of a lifetime.
