One of the best parts of the holidays is seeing family and friends, though one of the worst parts, in my opinion, is actually traveling far and wide for the visits.  Since almost all of our loved ones live in Texas, we typically get in the car and drive for hours on end.

Now while adults find this type of travel rather boring, children tend to find it excruciatingly dull.  And when a child is bored, believe me, the entire trip suffers.  Thankfully, One Step Ahead has two affordable travel essentials that will keep your kiddos happy and entertained throughout those long car rides.

During the holidays, unhealthy (yet delicious) food choices abound!  From the ooey, gooey desserts to the fresh baked breads and decadent side dishes, the pounds seem to pile on with each passing minute.  Although a healthy diet always consists of a bounty of vegetables, there are so many other tasty options available during the holidays, that our veggie dishes typically take a back seat.

This year, let Country Crock help you have a healthy holiday with plenty of fresh vegetable side dish ideas to please your family's palette.

The holidays are a time to see and be seen.  With all of the holiday gatherings, office parties and family dinners you'll be attending this season, it's definitely a great time to look your best.  When I step out for a night on the town, I like to do a little bit extra with my makeup, especially around the eyes.  I love playing with new styles and shades of eye shadow to really make those peepers pop.

That's why I was thrilled to learn that H-E-B had selected a whole lineup of top cosmetics from Revlon to be the beauty picks for December.  Keep reading to learn more about how Revlon and H-E-B can help you get your holiday glam on!  :kiss:

My husband isn't one for wearing cologne that often, that is, until we go out for a night on the town.  While he doesn't wear it much to the office or while lounging around the house, he always smells great when we paint the town red.

Now, I'll admit that while I like the cologne he currently wears, I don't necessarily love it.  So when Michael ran out of cologne recently, I wanted to surprise him with the perfect holiday gift for the special man in your life: the Nautica Aqua Rush 4-Piece Gift Set.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had a landline phone in my house.  I just couldn't see paying almost $30 a month for a phone which RARELY got used, though at times, I still miss having one.  For instance, what do you do in the middle of the night if there's an emergency, yet your cell phone is sitting on the charger downstairs, very much out of reach?

What about if your child wants a phone line of their own, yet you do NOT want them to have a cell phone yet?  Or how about having a second way to make or receive calls if you're like me and get poor cell phone reception in your home?  Thankfully, netTALK has invented a cost-effective solution for all of these everyday problems with the netTALK DUO WiFi.
