Song Of The Week: Baby, It's Cold Outside

I have always loved this little ditty and the variety of artists that have covered it. From Dean Martin, to Jessica Simpson's duet with then husband Nick (sad face), I just love them all. But if I had to choose my absolute favorite, I think I would have to go with Rod Stewart's duet with Dolly. Cute, fun and totally lovable!

This GAP ad from last year(am I the only one the missed this) is equally adorable and perfect for an afternoon smile. Baby, it's cold outside....

Happy {Wine Getaway} Weekend!

I am off to Solvang for wine tasting with a fabulous group of 20 amazing women to celebrate the 30th birthday of one incredible gal!

Asta Pasta!

Holiday Gift Ideas #7 ~ Jim Jams

To me pajamas (jim jams as my roomie calls them) and Christmas go hand in hand. Growing up we were always allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve and that one present was ALWAYS PJ's to sleep in that evening and wake up to open presents in. It was a cute tradition and it is something I think I will pass along once I have a family of my own.

Below are some great Forever Frugal Friday PJ's that are just too good to pass up!

The classic, can't go wrong Plaid Flannel PJ Pant.

For the friend or sister in warmer climates, why not try the Plaid PJ Short Set.

These Striped PJ Pant are on my own personal wish list. Soft, cozy and reminiscent of my childhood.

The Polka Dot PJ Pant a innocent and sweet in pink.

For that naughty friend of yours, why not these racy Lace Print Boxy Shorts?

Holiday Gift Ideas #6 ~ Betty Crocker Style

For the friend who likes to get her Martha Stewart/Betty Crocker on, why not gift her a darling apron so she can look just as cute baking as her creations turn out?

I am loving the colors of this cute retro Chloe Rose Bouquet Full Apron.

Is it just me or do you totally want this Extra Ingredient Apron to be an actual dress? If the back wasn't totally open and exposed I would so sport this out for cocktails with the girls.

Love this retro Perfect Circle Hostess Apron.

I am a sucker for anything aqua and yellow, so this Stockholm Floral Apron immediately caught my eye (available in other colors as well).

The ultimate in girlie girl aprons, this Sugar Rush Ruffled Apron has me all giddy and wanting to bake something light and fluffy.

Baking in the kitchen has never been so stylish and affordable!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.....

Makes me want to snuggle on the couch and watch Love Actually.

I heart marshmallows, and this display just makes me happy looking at it. I would love to sit in a chair in that window and just take a deep breath in.

Hoping your Thursday is starting off lovely!

Holiday Gift Ideas #5 ~ Kissable Lips

'Tis the season to be caught kissing under the mistletoe, and you will most definitley want to make sure you or your friend has the softest kissable lips yet. Enter Sara Happ...

The Vanilla Bean Lip Scrub will slough away boyfriends past, and renew those lips to all their original glory.

Follow it up with the The Lip Slip and my darling you or your friend may just be the most popular girl under that mistletoe! My girlfriend Christy introduced me to the Lip Slip goodness and I instantly fell in love.

Give them alone or as a pair, kissable lips are always appreciated!

Holiday Gift Ideas #4 ~ Votivo For All

What smells good, looks pretty and can light up an entire room (no, it's not me - j/k) .....well the Votivo Holdiay Collection Candles of course! I recently had the pleasure of smelling this collection, and let me just say, they do NOT disappoint. Not only are the scents divine and holiday-icious, but the candles themselves are very pretty and will blend in with any decor.

Christmas Sage

Freshly harvested juniper berries, tangy hemlock cones, and fragrant emerald hued spruce boughs transform the rustic cabin into a light filled workshop where dreams are crafted with pride and hope fills the heart eternal with gifts that truly linger...and inspire memories for generations to come. (Translation - Smells like a Christmas tree.... but better)

Clementine & Clove

An ode to a bygone era- coarsely chopped clove with fresh cinnamon sticks and dashes of black peppered nutmeg gently coat the dried Clementine oranges and fresh thyme sprigs, all wrapped to the tune of an old Christmas carol—a perfect symphony of the senses. (Translation - Smells like a caramel apple cider from Starbucks....but better)

Red Current

A savory blend of tart red currants and golden fruit glaze ladled over coarsely ground vanilla bean ice cream and served along side of raspberry filled sugar cookies… the original Red Currant. (Translation - Your home will smell like fresh baked good out of the oven....but better)

Winter Soltice

Early morning, 6:00am on the longest day of the year- the rich spurt of pine spice and cold, cold wet winter are scorched by the brazen blaze of the crystal, powerful, white light. Unabashedly, three elements collide - the water, the earth, and the sun – tantalizing the senses into perfect, harmonious solstice. (Translation - Smells like the first breath of air when you walk your dog in a forest....but better)

Joie De Noel

In a centuries old tradition, darkened hearty cut spices, woody strands of aged rosemary, fragrant spruce and delicate hemlock boughs are mulled with caravan herbs and thickened honey combs in a blackened copper kettle over an open cherry wood flame: an unspoken welcome home anytime throughout the year. (Translation - It smells like marshmallows, hot chocolate, cookies, and eggnog & rum....but better)

Any of these candles are sure to be a hit for a secret Santa gift, co-worker, friend, or just yourself! Picking the scent is what will be difficult but with descriptions like these, it should be a breeze!
