Jewelry is one of my favorite items to shop for because wearing jewelry can make you look terrific as well as be an instant conversation starter all at the same time!  I've always been drawn to unique jewelry because I love to make a statement and I've recently discovered a very original line of handcrafted jewelry from Waxing Poetic.

At Waxing Poetic, they believe that faith, risk, hope, and joy are inextricably bound, and never mutually exclusive. Their jewelry is fabricated by an incredible batch of Balinese crafts-persons who devote themselves and their lives to beauty, both in action and intent.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, it's time to reflect on what our own moms (and dads) have sacrificed and given to us from the moment they became parents.  I never truly realized just what it takes to become a parent until I had my only child, Riley.  It's a relentless job that requires all of your time, patience, love, compassion, guidance and discipline, each and every day without fail.  The benefits are innumerable and immeasurable, but so is the devotion and dedication required.

So how can you celebrate the years of devotion and dedication that all parents give to their children?  Is there a gift that encompasses the comfort and support moms everywhere have shown each day?  This Mother's Day, give the gift of a Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress Set and improve mom's life by providing her a quality night's sleep for years to come.  The new Hybrid series combines the perfect blend of cooling gel memory foam and titanium-alloy springs for the gift that keeps on giving!

Birthdays are a constant reminder that time is tick, tick, ticking away.  I will be turning 37 in just a few days and that upcoming milestone has me looking closer and closer in the mirror.  Unfortunately, more and more fine lines and wrinkles seem to be staring back at me which is why I am ever vigilant about finding top of the line skin care products to help slow the hands of time.

HTY Gold is a unique, patented formula that converts natural oils into an innovative creamed oil that conquers dry, wrinkled, crepe-paper skin.  This revolutionary combination of lipids and nutrients has emollient properties, which protect, replenish and nourish the skin, leaving it moist and radiant.  HTY Gold promises to be the all natural answer to aging skin, so of course, I was dying to give it a try!

Have you ever experienced the pure luxury and comfort that comes from standing on a GelPro anti-fatigue mat?  If you haven't, prepare your feet for an amazing experience.  GelPro's high-quality mats are the perfect addition to any kitchen because they ease your tired tootsies and release the stress from your back and legs while you stand to prepare a meal.

While the original GelPro anti-fatigue mats look great in the kitchen, their overall "rubber mat" appearance didn't make them an attractive option in other rooms of the home.  Now, GelPro has solved that dilemma by creating the new Ergo Comfort Rug collection.  This line combines the good looks of a designer rug with the plush comfort only GelPro mats can offer, for the ultimate in floor decor.

The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes horse race held annually in Louisville, Kentucky on the first Saturday in May, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival.  The race is known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports" or "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration, and is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner.

In addition to the race itself, a number of traditions play a large role in the Derby atmosphere.  The mint julep, an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint and a sugar syrup, is the traditional beverage of the race.  This event attracts the rich, the famous and the well-connected and the women appear in fine outfits lavishly accessorized with large, elaborate hats.

Ruth's Chris Steak House is celebrating all things Derby with their annual Big Reds & Bourbons Dinner.  This elaborate dinner occurs in 74 locations across the country on May 2nd (May 1st in Houston, Texas).  To make this special dinner truly amazing, Ruth's Chris has partnered with cookbook author and celebrity TV show host, Joey Altman, to create a southern-styled menu that will make anyone's mouth water.

Just look at the delectable drinks and 5 course menu that awaits at the Ruth's Chris Steak House Big Reds & Bourbons Dinner:

I don't mind brushing my teeth.  It's one of those tasks that has become so much easier and enjoyable thanks to my high-powered electric toothbrush.  Unfortunately the ease and enjoyment comes to a screeching halt once it's time to floss.  I always feel like a mini-contortionist with a piece of dental floss because I am constantly stretching and manipulating my fingers so that I can try and get in-between each and every tooth.

Because flossing is always such a chore, I find myself doing it more infrequently than I should.  Thankfully, Philips Sonicare has created a way to bring flossing into the 21st century, right along with our electric toothbrushes.  It's called the AirFloss and literally makes flossing as easy as touching a button.  Keep reading to find out more about this little dental gem!
