The holidays are right around the corner and we can all agree one of the most important people to shop for is mom. Mom's do so much for everyone else. If you're a mother, you know this. This time of year, we need to make sure mom feels extra special. She deserves it! These picks are sure to make mom jump for joy. The best part? They are all handcrafted by small businesses. If you make a purchase from any of these companies, I can GUARANTEE that each owner will do a happy dan

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? What better way to celebrate the holidays than with desserts.... or dessert-like goodies? I know I'll be eating way too many cookies this season anyway, so I may as well match my accessories with my dessert. 1. Chocolate Doughnut Earrings by Jewels For Hope 2.

I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky.... that any moon goddess will love these gifts! This is one of my favorite gift guides I've put together because I personally would love every single item here. Actually, I plan on buying some goodies from some of these shops for the holidays since my sister is the perfect recipient of any of these beauties.... and of course I then get to borrow everything. Win/Win. 1. Moon & Star Ring by Bonfire Design 2. Moon Earrings by Hope o

Give me all the puppies! Nothing makes me happier than when I see an adorable pup walking towards me. Really! I usually break into a huge smile and start talking {in baby talk, obviously} to the cutest little baby in the world... and then to it's owner asking if I can please pet them. Please. If you're a dog lover, you understand what I'm saying. If you're not.. then you may think I'm a little crazy. Either way, you probably know someone who's a dog lover, and if so- these ar

Men are difficult to shop for. I know, I know, they will say the same thing about women, but this is my blog, so my opinion is what I'm going with right now, haha. Men are tough. I can easily find gifts for my sisters and my mother in half the time it takes for me to find a gift for my dad. If I can even help one woman spend a little less time finding the perfect gift for him, I'll be thrilled! I know you'll look through this list and find the perfect gift. Tell me if you buy

So today, lets say thank you to all the musicians out there. Sharing their souls with the world and evoking emotions in us all. 1. Music Gets Me Right in my Soul Bracelet b

After graduating The Fashion Institute of Technology (many moons ago), I know fashion is completely subjective. I love that about it. You can make it all your own. You can choose to be someone new every day just by the armor you're wearing. There are certain outfits that make me feel like a million dollars. For all of the fashion lovers out there, it's not about the price tag or the label, it's about how special this piece is to you. What you can make of it. Fashion can give

This has to be one of my favorite gift guides ever. I come from an Italian family, so when it comes to food, you know we like to eat. I LOVE trying new and exciting foods and just love the foodie vibe altogether. Whether it's getting into cooking shows or just learning to cook (both of which are me), I feel like the term foodie is so broad that any food lover can join in. I should warn you... don't view this gift guide hungry. I can't be held accountable for what will happen
