It’s day five into our series and forty- nine more days to go until Christmas! I’m enjoying the cooler weather that has just arrived these last couple of days. Sunny day in Arizona with a cool Breeze, what perfect weather! All you need is a cup of hot chocolate and some Christmas songs!
This year, I am more excited than ever because my baby, my husband and I now have a new whole experience decorating our own Christmas tree in our new home!
Talking about a sunny day, what’s the weather like in your country or town? Are you in need of sunglasses? I remember when I was in Thailand I only wore sunglasses when driving! Sometimes when I wanted to get a cool selfie I would wear them too. But now living in Arizona, its sunny all year round, my eyes hurt, and I can’t live without them.
And because I found sunglasses to be very important for your eyes’ health, today I want to talk a bit about the benefits of this fashionable accessory piece.
Here’s a few benefits I want to share with you.
⁃ Protects your eyes from Ultraviolet (UV) light.
⁃ Helps prevent severe eyes conditions such as Cataracts (the progressive clouding of the lens of the eye) and Cancer of the eye, eyelid, or nearby skin.
⁃ Prevents your eyes from getting light sensitivity, blurriness and vision loss.
⁃ You look great wearing sunglasses, right?
Because sunglasses have a lot of benefits and you shouldn’t forget to wear them, I think it’s a great idea to give them as a present or get a new pair for yourself once in a while. I know where you can get a good quality pair of eyeglasses online with reasonable prices. I’m going to tell you now.
Last summer I got a chance to try out sunglasses from GlassesShop.com, if you haven’t had a chance to read that blog, you can read it here.
GlassesShop.com is an online shop, selling glasses and sunglasses for both normal eyesight and for someone who needs the prescription pairs. They always come out with some good deals, like buy one get one free.
You have to watch out for their new promotions, the easiest way I recommend you to do is to sign up for their newsletter. This way you won’t miss any good deals.
My mother in law had ordered one pair of the prescription sunglasses from them. She loves the quality and services they provided. The price is a lot cheaper than when you’re going to purchase one from your eye doctor. There are plenty of designs for you to choose from. All you need is your eyesight information and you’re good to go.
The process of ordering them is very easy too, few steps to take and your glasses will be ready for you in a couple weeks.
Now hear me out why you should give a cute pair of sunglasses out this year.
⁃ It’s a good habit to always wear sunglasses, you shouldn’t keep it a secret. I recommend you educate your friends and your loved ones.
⁃ You have a sense of style wearing them.
⁃ Like I mentioned above they help prevent you from severe eye conditions
⁃ The person who receives your gift will appreciate that you care about them.
Who should you give this gift to?
⁃ Guy or girl friends
⁃ Someone who needs a cool looking pair of prescription sunglasses (make sure you get all their eyesight information before you order them!)
⁃ Someone who’s always wearing sunglasses everywhere they go.
⁃ Someone who’s planning their trip to the beach.
⁃ Someone who loves fashion like you and I.

Here’s my mini review on the new pair I got from GlassesShop.com.
Design:Aviator design which is really pretty and sleek. I love the retro look, so this pair is just perfect for me.
Quality: It’s made of lightweight but yet durable plastic.
Price: You will be surprised with the price! It’s only $39.95! and with those crazy promotions you will end up paying like nothing! That’s the beauty of GlassesShop.com.
Overall: I love everything about these sunglasses and I recommend you to buy one for you and one your friend.
Lately I’ve been so lazy to wash my hair! I used to be so good and wash my hair daily. But I think, when life gets busy you just pretty much forgot to take care of yourself. I’m becoming a lazy stinky head! Have you ever been in the same situation or felt this way before?
It’s been so long since I took proper care of my self. Before the New Year begins, it’s about time to get back on track and start taking care of myself, especially my hair again! You should do the same, so we all can get a fresh start! I also want to be able to say, “Sure, life isn’t perfect but my hair is!” that’s why I came up with today’s gift idea.
A few weeks ago I discovered new hair care products, “Hask”, salon quality products with affordable prices! I’m not lying here; their products are super wallet friendly! Not only that they are free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten and drying alcohol. I’ve received HASK Superfruit Healthy Hair Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner and a cute HASK brush from this company and I think it would be great to share with you how I like it.
Before we get into the review part I want to tell you why I think it is a good idea to give these hair care products as a Christmas present.
Everyone needs to wash their hair! This is a very simple first answer.
You can arrange the products into a set, shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner.
Easy to create your own cute little basket so when people receive this gift they will know you’re putting your heart and time into it.
Good quality products with small budgets.
No harmful ingredients.
Variety of choices to choose from, they have different systems that target and solve specific hair care needs. You can do more research and see which is the right one for your gift receivers.
Easy to find! You can get them from Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Ulta beauty, CVS, Kmart and many more.
Who should you give this present to?
Seriously, anyone who has hair and doesn’t have hair!
Both girl and guy friends and your family members!
Someone who cares about animals because Hask products are not tested on animal.
Someone who loves a “made in USA” product!
Someone who care about their hair more than anything!
Someone who want to have a healthy and good-looking hair.
Now it’s time for my mini reviews.
Superfruit Healthy Hair Shampoo
Let’s start with the ingredients! This shampoo contains Dragon Fruit, Acai Berry & Mangosteen Oil. All sound so yummy and healthy, right? It has Brilliant Shine Complex that helps maintain natural shine, fight frizz and restore resilience.
Here are my thoughts after the first use; I love the tropical fruity sense in this product, the smell last for over 24 hours after use. Even though my hair is already shiny, no surprise this shampoo helped to add even more shine to my hair. My hair feels squeaky clean after the first use.
Superfruit Healthy Hair Conditioner
Cupuaçu Butter, Acai Berry & Mangosteen Oil are the main ingredients in this conditioner. Like the shampoo, it has Brilliant Shine Complex that helps maintain natural shine, fight frizz and restore resilience.
Here are my thoughts after the first use; my hair became softer, shinier, less frizz and definitely smelled a lot better. I love the texture of the conditioner that it’s very creamy and easy to put on my hair. Also, there is no hassle when washing it off too.
Superfruit Healthy Hair Deep Conditioner
The main ingredients of this product are Papaya, Acai Berry and Mangosteen Oil. This one is definitely my favorite. One small package can use up to three times for medium hair length. I use this product every few days and love it. You can use it alone as a hair treatment or use it after shampoo and conditioner. I love the softness of this deep conditioner when lathering it into my hair. I left it on for about 10 minutes then rinsed off. It was very easy to rinse off too. My hair smells so amazing, super soft, clean and I feel so fresh after using this product. My hair got more shine, less frizz, and more hydrated.
Overall I love these three products for both quality and price and I recommend you to try by yourself before giving them out as Christmas presents.
Do you love to wear sneakers? Do your friends or family love to wear sneakers?
I personally used to dislike wearing sneakers as much as other people do. Times have changed, people changed, and I’m the one who has switched to loving to wear them almost everywhere I go now.
I used to wear high heels everywhere I went. Now high heels are only for a date night with my husband. I think the reasons behind it are that I love how comfortable and easy it is to wear them with any styles of cloths. To go for a walk, go on a hike or go to the gym, these types of shoes were born for any occasions, I feel.
I love wearing them and I see a lot of fashionistas are wearing them too. Sneakers shouldn’t be a bad idea to give as a Christmas present this year!
How to pick the right style sneakers to give as a present?
You have to know that person’s lifestyle. Do they love to wear sneakers just for fashion, or they wear to workout? If for workout, you have to dig deeper, what kind of workout? They have different kinds for each sport. You can eliminate the ones that are not on the list.
Get the right color! This is important. People have their own favorite colors. Sometimes you might think of a specific color might look good on your friends. You really shouldn’t decide for them. Try to observe what’s the dominant color of all their outfits they have. Then you’ll see what’s the right color to get. Stick with one or two colors, so you won’t have a headache trying to get them.
The most important one is getting the right size. If you’re considering on getting the sneakers, here’s what I would suggest you to do to find out their shoe sizes. Start with a friendly conversation at a shoe store, keep talking and bring up your shoes’ size at one point in the conversation. When you feel it’s the right moment, ask your friend about their shoes’ sizes. The more people in the conversation the better. So the person you’re going to give the present to won’t know that you’re targeting them. Then keep on talking with whatever! How dose that sound? Or just frankly ask them, they will know about the present in the end anyway! Lol! 😀
What brand should you go for?
Tough question here! I personally go with what is beautiful! I love adidas for fashion shoes! I love how vintage New Balance and Brooks Running shoes look! They are both comfortable too!
I love Nike and for some reasons I always go for Nike. The answer for this question is actually up to you my loves, I really can’t give you a lot of recommendations for this one. When you find the right pair, they will be screaming your name for you to take them back home with you!
Here’s I have some of the brands I mentioned above for you to take a look at!
Adidas
New Balance
Brooks
Nike
Where should I get them?
I love getting inexpensive gifts that are still of good quality so I recommend you take a look at Nordstrom Rack again. Exact same pair of shoes can cost you a fortune somewhere else but at Nordstrom Rack they are giving you some very good deals.
One more place I recommend you to look at is Gilt.com. If you’re seriously looking for some designer sneakers, here is the place to go. They have a lot of promotions going on! You have to be patient and wait to see what do they have to offer on that day! I probably should do a blog about gilt.com in the future, since I shop there a lot.
Right now, you can find more details and sign up for their promotions here. You can get 20% off your first order when you sign up too! What a deal!
I hope you like today’s gift guide! Twenty-Seven more gifts to go! Hope you’re enjoying this series so far! Have a wonderful day loves! I will see you again tomorrow!

It’s only day two into the series and I am beyond excited! I discovered a cute store on Etsy and I just can’t stop looking at their products. Today’s gift guide is created just for your girlfriends! What makes this product so special is that you can personalize them. Who would say no to something that was just created for them, right?
Before we get into the details let me briefly talk about the store real quick.
The store name is Mod Party. They provide you with everything party and decorating involved. You can customize your products, make them fit with your theme and purposes. When you place your order, they will get it done and deliver it right to your door. You can learn more about them here.
Now it’s time to talk about the product I’ve picked for you today.
Travelling Coffee Mug! But first coffee! Admit it you’ve been seeing this saying everywhere!
If you have a friend who is a coffee addict and can’t live without a coffee mug, you have to consider this present this year. It’s time for them to say no to those fanciless cups. You can help save their stylist life back by getting them a personalized gorgeous looking mug for Christmas this year. You know what! Or get one for you too!
Still a little bit unsure, here are the reasons why I recommend this gift!
It’s very special because you can personalize it.
You’re a designer. You can choose the style (either Heart or Monogram), foil colors (Gold, Rose Gold or Silver) and pattern (Polka Dots, Skinny Diagonal Stripes, Bold Stripes) How nice is that?
It looks very pretty and glamorous with the gold foils.
It’s good for coffee head friends who love to go around.
Too cheap to be true! ($16.95)
Who should you give this present to?
Like I mention before, give it to someone who loves to say BUT FIRST COFFEE, but Second and Third still COFFEE! The design is intended to go for your girlfriends, sister, mother, aunt, #girlboss, your female dentist (oops! maybe not, they don’t want you to drink a lot of coffee! Well, let them put water in it instead I guess!)
Go have fun exploring this shop; you might get more than one gift, one for your love and one for yourself! Try not to get lost with how beautiful and sparkly all those products are! Just a warning! 😀
I have some good news here too.
You can use this coupon code “GDVB10” to get a 10% discount when purchasing $25 order or more. The Coupon will expire on January 31, 2017. You better hurry up and go visit the shop now!
I hope you like what I showed you today. More awesome products to come! See you tomorrow my love!
Have a wonderful day!

Christmas is around the corner, aren’t you excited for it?
I am supper excited! Not because of the presents I will be receiving and not because of the gifts I will be giving! JK, haha! But it’s because of everything all around you. You will start to see all the beautiful lights and decorations. You will start to hear all the wonderful and joyful songs. You will start to feel the cool nice breeze, may be super freezing cold breeze somewhere, oh no! You will see the new Christmas and New Year’s movies are coming out! You will see all the new special promotions and products’ packaging created only for this special time. Everything is just beyond beautiful with some sprinkles of happy and joy! I can’t say enough about it. All I know is Christmas is near, my loves. We better get ready to welcoming the joys!
One of the most fun things I love to do this time of the year is SHOPPING! Who doesn’t like shopping? Not me! Both window’ shopping and the real shopping, they are so much fun!
That’s why I’m going to take you to a shopping the series on my blog for this Month of November, “Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents”. From today forward until the end of this month I will be introducing you to the gifts I personally think are great to give out and use them by yourself. Before you can recommend a product, you have to be the person who is in love with the products first. Then you can to share them with others. That’s my gifting theory!
Shall we start with the first gift? Why not?
Let start the first day with UNDERWEAR! Yes, underwear!
It might sound weird that I recommend you to give underwear as a Christmas present!
Who in the right mind will do that? I do my love!
Most people want to look cool and when it comes to showing off famous designer piece around your waist, one brand that will blink up in our mind has to be Calvin Klein, am I right? I am sure the person who receives your gift will be blushing with joy!
Here me out if you are still a little hesitant!
It’s soft and comfortable. (I’m wearing mine right now! :D)
It’s 90% cotton with 10% elastane.
You get the ability to look cooler when showing off a signature logo to everyone.
Simple colors, black, white and gray.
Reasonable price
Who should you give this present to?
Calvin Klein has their products for both Men and Women. You can give them to your girl friends or guy friends. Your sister will be happy to receive this gift. I recommend only give to someone who is closes to you. People can get embarrassed if they don’t know you that well.
Where can you get them?
It’s no surprise that you can find Calvin Klein underwear almost in all department stores. My tips for you here if you’re considering getting these cuties, I recommend you go shopping at Nordstrom Rack. In store or online both work. You will get the product with a cheaper price, like 40% off. I can’t say enough about how much I love Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. You just have to go and experience them for yourself.
Here’s my first day of the “Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents”.
What do you think?
Come back again tomorrow to find out what I have to offer! Enjoy the rest of your day! Happy November my loves!
