Amazon Prime Now: The Ultimate Destination for Thanksgiving Prep

As we are gearing up for our Thanksgiving feasts, wanted to call to mind that Amazon’s Prime Now service can deliver all Turkey Day essentials to customers’ doors in just one hour!

We can all relate to being in the kitchen cooking the biggest meal of the year and realizing you forgot the cranberry sauce, pie crusts or the roasting pan. Prime Now can bring customers these items and more in an hour or less so they can skip the trip to the store and continue spending time with friends and loved ones.

Beyond the food, customers can also find hostess gifts or “family fun” items, including the most popular board games that have been delivered in one hour through Prime Now: Pie Face Game, Connect 4, Catan and Taboo.  We also have localized shopping data for all Prime Now cities available upon request.

In Baltimore, Prime Now is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, and will be operating on Thanksgiving Day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to help account for anyone that’s forgotten the butter, paper towels or other essentials. Two-hour delivery is free and one-hour delivery is available for $7.99. All Prime members can download the Prime Now app, available on iOS and Android devices, and will be notified when the service is available in their zip code.

Michael Antonio Brighton Dress Boots – Octer.com

Knee High Boots are now considered a wardrobe staple. This accessory transcends the average winter boot (or bootie) because it provides instant leg warmth.

img_0475

Selecting a pair of Knee High Boots can be intimidating but they’re very functional. For example, some boots help repel water and others give ankle support.  This accessory also comes in a variety of colors, textures, and heel heights.

I had the opportunity to order a pair of boots through the online site Octer.com Originally shipped from the department store retailer JcPenney, The Michael Antonio Brighton Women’s Dress Boots arrived quickly and was true to the product photo.

The cranberry hue and faux suede texture will be the perfect complement to my winter wardrobe.

Dryel At – Home Cleaner – Wardrobe Solutions

Let’s face the reality that it’s chilly outside and time to laundry our cozy sweaters. This is a delicate task because the wrong technique can ruin your favorite fashion piece.  Personally, I know this first hand from shrinking or burning a machine hole on a beautiful wool sweater.

fullsizerender-82

We are in good hands because Dryel (At-Home Dry Cleaner) has taken the headache out of laundering sweaters or denim. This product has a three-step system to help us properly clean clothing that requires dry-cleaning services.

The first step is to take the sweater and lay on a flat surface while searching for any stains.  After completing the process of stain removal, place the item inside of the fabric protection bag with an ultra cleaning cloth.

Let the sweater tumble inside of the dryer (on low) for about twenty minutes.  Once the dryer has stopped, remove the item and place on a satin padded hanger.

It’s a very easy process and your household budget will thank you later!  For more instructions click here:  Dryel Own Your Look

Get The Look: Rita Ora in Rimmel London at the Nocturnal Animals Premiere

The Look: Bold and sultry

The Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung was inspired by the singer, actress and Rimmel London Ambassador’s dramatic black Tom Ford tunic, opting for strong bronzed eyes, bronzed cheeks and a pale lip.

How to Get the Look:

SKIN

To begin, Kathy applied Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer to prep and prime skin for makeup. She then used Rimmel London Hide the Blemish Concealer in Light Beige to conceal dark circles, brushing Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in Light/Medium on top, gently patting and blending the two together with her ring finger. Next, she applied Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation in Sand, blending into Rita’s skin with a makeup brush and a damp makeup sponge. Kathy then set Rita’s foundation with a light dust of Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige and finished by applying Rimmel London Kate Sculpting Kit in Golden Sands to her cheeks.

LIPS

Kathy prepped Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Lip Conditioning Balm by Kate to add moisture and to prime lips for color. Next, she lined Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner in Innocent and finished by applying Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in First Class Nude.

EYES & BROWS

The base of Rita’s strong eye was the NEW Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Palette in London Calling. Kathy applied a matte beige shade to the browbone and a deep bronze to the lid and crease, blending outwards towards the temples. Along the upper and lower lashline, Kathy drew a thin line with Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner in Back to Blacks, smudging it into the lashline. Next, she used the same liner to line the inner rims of the eyes. To lift the outer corners of the eyes, Kathy applied a flick of Rimmel London Colour Precise Eyeliner in Black. To add a touch of bronze to the lower lash line, she applied Rimmel London ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bad Bronze. Finally, Kathy finished Rita’s eyes by applying a few coats of Rimmel London ScandalEyes Mascara in Black to upper and lower lashes.

Kathy enhanced Rita’s brows by applying Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Sculpting Kit in Blonde, brushing her brows into place, filling and shaping them.

Where to Find Them: Rimmel London products are available at chain drug stores and mass retailers nationwide. Visit www.RimmelLondon.com for store locations and to try the newest products with Rimmel London’s exclusive Virtual Makeup Tool.

AMI Clubwear – Ready To Wear Collection and Style Options

AMI Clubwear re-launched their Ready To Wear Collection online. The company asked me to share a few style options and I immediately accepted the challenge.

Fashion is a form of self-expression and I wanted to project my personality through the following pieces.  The Sheer Cut Stripe Print Dress is a great party option that can be dressed up (with a pair of heels) or down (wearing a denim jacket.)  Red is also a power hue and compliments most skin tones.

The romper (or jumpsuit) trend is a must-have item for this season. A well-fitted Romper can be worn to brunch, a meeting, or date night. Purchasing a Classic Trench Coat can be another versatile piece; either styled alone or accessorized with a blanket scarf.

AMI Clubwear is a trendy e-commerce site and a great option for the girl who’s seeking fashion on a budget!

Daisy is fresh and feminine, with a playful innocence. The heart of it is floral with vintage edge of violet. Sophisticated, with a touch of whimsy, violet captures the eclectic, timeless flavor.

This intense and energetic scent with top notes of bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper and mandarin will warm you right up. Its heart notes of Ceylon tea, iris and bluebell add a soft floral texture, while the white musk, vetiver and cedar wood give depth to this sensual fragrance.

 
 

Burberry Eau De Parfum Spray ($36.99, Fragrance.com)

This perfume is distinguished by its sexy base note, which is composed of sandalwood, amber, cedarwood, and musk to give it its soft, sensual appeal. The top notes of peach and apricot bring out the fragrance’s femininity, and a tone which can only be described as exotic.
