Jessica Alba was spotted earlier this week carrying a cinda b tote while on vacation in Mexico w/ her family. What’s special about this tote is that it’s stylish, roomy, and has a removable bottom. I love a chic tote bag because it allows me to carry additional items that can’t fit in my purse.

I’m a sentimental girl that likes to show my unique style through clothing and accessories. For me, jewelry is an extension of fashion; allowing me to be trendy or classic. Pandora bracelets, necklaces, rings, and charms are no exception to this rule.
Made from 14K Gold, Sterling Silver, and Precious Gemstones, Pandora provides beautiful craftsmanship in every design. I am a huge fan of their jewelry because it allows every woman to pay tribute to special moments in their life. According to the company, one can start their Pandora collection by selecting a bracelet, purchase charms that are personal to you, add clips to keep the charms in place, and use a safety chain.
I received my first Pandora bracelet as a Valentine’s Day gift from my husband. The bracelet was a Lobster Clasp with Swarovski Crystals and Pave Charms. It was unique to me because my favorite color is pink. Luckily, my second bracelet was a Barrel Clasp with Murano Glass Charms. I paired each bracelet with a Michael Kors Watch, Tracy Reese Bracelet, and Tag Heart Bracelet from Tiffany & Co.
From a fashion stand point, there are several ways that one can style their Pandora jewelery. Many women like to wear pieces everyday (from the office to soccer practice) and some for special occasions only.
The bracelets and rings can be stacked (worn together) or a single bracelet on each wrist. I also discovered that you can switch out the charms on each bracelet for a different look. For example, my first bracelet came with ten charms; I removed four of the charms and added them to my barrel clasp bracelet.
Pandora also run campaigns with the change of every season such as the Essence Collection or Pre Autumn Collection. This allows customers to select specific pieces to enhance their previous purchases. Lastly, to receive the quality and longevity of owning Pandora jewelry make sure you purchase from an official Pandora retailer. There are several duplicate retailers and you want to ensure that you’re purchasing the Pandora craftmanship.

My Review:
I have been a fan of Teen Vogue for several years. The magazine provides the latest in fashion, celebrity style, and entertainment. The Teen Vogue Handbook is the perfect extension of the brand because it gives an insiders guide to careers in fashion. I suggest this book for up and coming fashion professionals as well as those working in the industry.
The handbook is divided into content chapters according to careers such as Designers, Editors, Digital, Stylist, Models, Beauty, and Photographers. Of course I turned to the Digital chapter first, which features media moguls such as Leandra Medine, Natalie Massenet, Michelle Phan, Sophia Amoruso, and Robin Givhan to name a few.
In addition, The Teen Vogue Handbook shares how to start a career in fashion and the daily responsiblities associated with each job. For example, designer Jenna Lyons shares “one day is never the same as the next; there are so many pieces and parts. Most of the time, I go from one meeting to the next and don’t really get a break in between ” (Astley, 41.)
The handbook ends with the Career chapter giving tips on how to apply for internships, create a resume, social networking, and dressing to impress. The Teen Vogue Handbook is a must read for the fashion intern or brand account manager. Fashion is constantly changing and one must stay abreast of the latest trends (beyond accessories and style.) Anna Wintour stated, “people have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand – that’s the right, healthy way to do things. If you’re an overnight sensation, you can be yesterday’s news in no time, whereas building something slowly and carefully that has value and quality, that’s what’s going to have legs” (Astley, 114.)

I like to give holiday gifts to my kids teachers and special friends in the community. Unfortunately, the budget doesn’t always allow for expensive gifts. I would love to purchase (everyone) something special from Bloomingdales but that’s not always realistic.
Being a true southerner, I come from a family that loves arts and crafts and this time of the year inspires me to pull out the ribbon box. I search for inexpensive gift ideas such as baked cookies, mason jar trinkets, or gift baskets.
Honestly, anyone (whether they love arts and crafts) can add a special touch to gift giving. The trick to DIY gift ideas is figuring out what inspires you and those people in your life.
Below, you will find ideas from Pinterest that can be prepared in 10 minutes or less.
Steps for DIY Inexpensive Holiday Gifts:
1. Create a budget for the project.
2. Make a list of supplies.
3. Locate your favorite craft store and ask for assistance (if that’s needed.)
4. Set up your holiday craft station and create!

For the last three years I have made an attempt to purchase a Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System. This professional face and body polisher was a priority because I’ve seen wonderful results in magazines and blogs. To my surprise (and excitement) I was able to test this product for the first time last night!
I opened the package and received a total of 5 attachments that connects to the waterproof device. As previously stated, yes…this product is waterproof and can be used in the shower, bath, or sink. The Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System was a major plus (and not just because this is a product review) for various reasons. Number one, the speed of the skin care system was appropriate for use on your face, legs, or feet. Number two, its battery operated which means there’s no need to charge the device prior to use. Number three, the size of the Spa Sonic Skin Care System is suitable and not heavy in weight.
I decided to use my Spa Sonic Skin Care System with Pevonia Skin Care Products and received great results. My face felt smooth and hydrated with the appearance of leaving a day spa. Overall, I suggest this product to anyone that’s incorporating a new skin care regimen and looking for a product that’s affordable and easy to use.
Spa Sonic is hosting the following deals through the holiday season:
Nov 1st – Dec 30th: $39.99 (Reg $74.99)
