Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Ninth Giveaway sponsored by:

What better gift than the gift of rejuvenated, younger eyes? I know right! This is how to 'stuff' a stocking. Beauty products have always been a personal fave as a stocking stuffer pick with me and my besties. And I'm sure that will never change!

When I was in my twenties, I was a die hard skeptic about the value of eye cream. I just didn't believe in the claims that any of them made. I am pretty much genetically pre-disposed to dark circles. My dad had them, I have them. I thought for many years that the battle of the dark under-eye circles was always going to be a losing one. Much like the battle of the frizz, but that my friends is a story for a different post.

Aside from the dark circles, my eyes have been taking a beating this holiday season. To meet deadlines, I've been working much longer hours and spreading myself pretty thin. The first place this shows up on me is my eyes. And that does not make me happy. I have beautiful eyes, I say it un-abashedly as they are my favorite feature. They are a beautiful Hazel color with perfect flecks of Gold, the happier I am, the greener they look. As pretty as they are, they don't look good with dark circles under them.

Because this has been a year of 'pro-activity' (OK, writers license, that may not be a real word) I have been actively trying to address things that bother me. And this under-eye circle thing, has quite frankly been bothering me. I am no longer a teen, and late nights definitely show!

Thankfully, the blogging Gods were listening, and I was contacted to try to an under-eye cream. I will admit, my inner skeptic skoffed at the idea. But my racoon eyes embraced the idea and forced me to immediately break open the package and get started.

I will tell you I have seen marked improvement using Exuviance. And I went into it very doubtful. I do notice on mornings when I am in a rush and skip out on using it, people notice, because I always get the dreaded 'Do you have a cold?' or 'Did you get enough Sleep Last Night?'

The Perk, when I use it consistently I always get more compliments on what they should notice, my eye COLOR! :)

Thankfully no crows feet or fine lines to contend with yet, but I figure getting into the habit of using eye cream will help me prevent them! I do have some un-even pigmentation on the upper eyes, and have noticed more even pigment on the upper eye as well as the lower eye using Exuviance Age Reverse Eye Contour. As I already know I am NOT going to be happy when I run out of this, you know that means I definitely recommend it!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at NeoStrata Company, want to stuff not just one, but THREE winners stockings with Exuviance Age Reverse Eye Contour this holiday season! And we thought we'd have some fun with this one. This time around  we will have a winner per channel!

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Eighth Giveaway sponsored by:

I am very happy to say that I discovered Le Mystere WAY before Oprah did! I had hit a point where I wasn't happy with the same old same old. You know, the same old lack of style, the same old lack of support, and the same old lack of availability in my size. My weight had changed and so had my size, I knew it was time to go 'pro'. I decided to get a professional sizing done. I set out to Macys in New York City and didn't have to do much work. A very wise woman with tape measure and a fantastic eye saw me looking like a deer caught in headlights in the bra section and she instantly knew I needed help!

In a series of amazingly fortunate coincidences, after she measured me and gave me my true new size and asked several pertinent questions about my expectations (like having the girls at least appear to be pointing upward at all times). She ushered me to the Le Mystere section. I already liked the name, I felt like a secret agent of breasts. I actually did a double take as we got closer to make sure no one was following us. There was a rep from Le Mystere there filling the racks and watched us approach. The Macy's fitter and the Le Mystere rep spoke a bit and I kept hearing the word 'Tisha' being bandied about.

At first I thought she had forgotten my name, but then they both waved an assortment of bras that oddly resembled Mickey Mouse Ears when lying flat at me and said pick a color and try one on! I grabbed the black (yes I am a New Yorker you know!) and went into the fitting room. I tried on my first Le Mystere Bra. And lo and behold the girls were pointing in the right direction again, there was no bulge, lumps or bumps to be seen, and when I threw on a thin summer weight cashmere twin set over it I was super happy with just how well everything looked. I was elated. Except for one thing. I found that the band was a super perfect fit, and I asked them both if I should size up. And they both smiled and said 'NO' in unison. (Scary like the twins from 'The Shining' movie unison.) They told me the band is supposed to be a perfect fit because that is where the support actually comes from with Le Mystere bras, which after having worn them for many years now, I believe, is the key to why they hold up so well. They are not solely relying upon the straps to provide you the support you need.

Now I will tell you with all honesty to that point in my bra buying history, I'd been purchasing a popular 'boxed' brand that are often sold on sale in chain stores. So while my brain said 'BUY, BUY, BUY in EVERY COLOR', when I took a gander at the price tag, I realized I could only afford one. With my normal brand, that amount of money would have netted me three bras. My inner frugalista argued that 3 bras in the box are much better than one, but I knew that this time my inner frugalista was WRONG! Gasp, yes I said it, frugality was actually NOT the right choice this time.

That very next day I wore my new bra and because it is super supportive, I noticed and so did everyone else a marked change in my posture. PERK!

I noticed that nothing you don't want to see poking out if the room is cold or it's a chilly day out, remains well concealed with this bra. Again, PERK!

And fast forward five years later, Le Mystere is my ONLY bra of choice. No other bra has been able to deliver the same quality results. And I love that I can find it in various colors in my size. Which is many times a challenge with other bras.

Le Mystere recently took a good thing and made it that much better by adding lace to my beloved Dream Tisha Style Bra. So now I've got the same function, with a touch of cute girly fashion, it's a match made in lingerie draw heaven. I can wear the cute lacy Tisha with it's matching panty, and always feel like I'm keeping a super sexy secret during the day when I'm wearing them!

I actually have very mixed feelings about Oprah discovering MY Bra. Yes I said it, MINE!!! Now everyone knows just how great Le Mystere is and just how fantastic the Tisha style is. OH NO!!! I sometimes have trouble finding them, especially when Ms. 'O' re airs that episode on finding the right bra. I know it's good because it's helped the brand grow, but sometimes her love of my perfect bra makes it harder for me to get my hands on it!

Today I get the honor of playing Oprah for a day and sharing one of my ultimate favorite things with YOU. The Dream Tisha Bra and Panty set! Once you try this Bra, I can guarantee that you will never go back to the bargain bras in the box. They are literally THAT GOOD.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and Le Mystere, would like to provide 1 Ascending Butterfly Follower with a Dream Tisha Bra and Panty Set!  ARV $98

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Seventh Giveaway sponsored by:

Do you have someone on your list with discerning taste, one who is not easy to please? A lady with a very classic style. One who you instantly recognize because of her signature jewelry?

Do you have a yoga enthusiastic or a body, mind, and soul girl to shop for this year?

My jewelry style is bold, statement pieces. I'd rather have one substantial piece that reflects my style than a ton of 'smaller' jewelry items. And it's not so much the price, as the quality and the style. I like meaningful, eye-catching jewelry. And as I've mentioned before, I know I have an instant affinity for a piece when I am constantly touching it. Somehow I just can't help it. And it doesn't just happen with gemstone jewelry either.

I found a new statement piece that I LOVE for holiday parties this season. This is just the right jewelry to wear with the perfect little black dress. It's bold and yet so very feminine all at once. It's the Golden Entity Cuff Bracelet by Satya Jewelry! And it expresses my style perfectly! It has a beautiful Lotus design on the front and simple bar detailing on the side and is adjustable so you'll get just the right fit, and you won't have to worry about it falling off or being too tight.

This Lotus Flower is definitely not a wall flower, and WILL draw attention. So don't wear this one if you want to go un-noticed! One of my favorite things about the lotus design is that the lotus flower represents infinite potential, renewal, and transformation, and it is one of the many reasons I love butterflies as well, they represent a soul that is transforming, new layers that are emerging. This bracelet became an instant favorite for many reasons! If you want to dazzle someone, with not just pretty, but MEANING, this is that piece that will make her eyes sparkle and heart melt!

You know I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't scope out a great deal, With any purchase of $150 or more you can receive the silver infinite lotus amethyst necklace FREE! That's a $78 retail value! The lotus flower represents infinite potential, renewal, and transformation. Amethyst is the stone of spirituality and contentment, bringing serenity and peace of mind. Sterling silver. 18" chain. Remember this offer is available only while Supplies Last! Add this necklace to your cart and at checkout and enter code: Holiday10

So you can buy yourself something and use this as a gift, or purchase gifts for others and keep this one as a stocking stuffer treat for yourself! Pretty cool right?

As you know one of the many reasons I love working with Satya Jewelry is that they are a company that cares, they give back in a variety of ways and they are currently working with @crowdrise to send love to Haiti. Share your blessings and get a lovely gift in return! Learn more here: http://tinyurl.com/23pqfyl

Today's Words of Inspiration - Are you in process?

We are working on gift seven in the 'Surprise-A-Day' Giveaway Countdown to Christmas, but we hit a small speed bump, so while we get things fixed, we thought we'd leave you with some inspiration. At least a moment of stillness in the chaos that is Cyber Monday! Don't forget to enter our active giveaways, there is a direct link to them on the upper right hand side of the page!

Are you in process? I am, however I prefer to say 'in progress' than in 'process' :-)

Did you snag a great Cyber Monday Deal that you care to share? I nabbed a totally great pair of Nike Sneakers today!

Sunday Moment of Gratitude

Photo Reads: 'I Believe in Gratitude Big' Credit: @Bing

On Sunday's, 'Today's Moment of Inspiration' becomes the weekly 'Moment of Gratitude'. While I do still live in Gratitude each and everyday, I decided to change this feature to a weekly to allow a full week of Inspirational messages and focused breathing meditations. We interrupt our 'Giveaway-A-Day' Countdown to Christmas to share some gratitude!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - I am grateful for Good Food, Good Friends and Family, the blessings of hearth and home this Thanksgiving!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Simple pleasures like enjoying the lights of my Christmas Tree under a cozy throw listening to the sounds of the rain hitting my window.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - The lingering joy of a food and dessert coma (And the extra days at the gym that are going to be needed to work it all off!)

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Sixth Giveaway sponsored by:

You are probably somewhere in the middle of a leftovers coma, exhausted from shopping, cleaning, decorating, hosting and entertaining. You probably just want to crash. But your mind isn't turning off at night and you toss and turn and fight with your pillow. Yet that never seems to happen when you are on vacation at that luxury five star resort. Are their pillows filled 'magic fluff'? Probably Not, but they are a lot different from the ones you are currently using!

I'm a bit of an insomniac and as a result often-times fight with my pillows. I went through a long period of sleepless nights where I swore if I just could find that magic pillow my sleep would just happen instantly and become better, more profound, somehow more...perfect.

I've learned the hard way that while the wrong pillow does indeed have a lot to do with lack of rest, my night habits before bed could use some improvement too. My bad pre-bed habits will probably take longer to change than adapting to this new pillow system will!

About The Luxury Pillow System

A revolutionary new pillow system featuring Tencel®, the new age fiber better than cotton. The Luxury Pillow System is supersoft and fully adjustable to your own comfort level, while providing ultimate stain, allergy and dust mite protection.

This Luxury Pillow contains extra, specially developed, microfiber filling which makes the pillow supersoft and fluffy. Each Luxury Pillow also has a unique zipper closure which allows you to adjust the amount of inner filling. By removing some of the filling, the pillow can be adjusted to exactly the right balance of height and firmness to suit individual preferences. A luxury pillow - luxury sleep.

First and foremost what I appreciate is the microfiber filling. I am allergic to down, which removes a ton of pillow and jacket options from my life. And for many years it also felt like I had to sacrifice comfort due to my down allergies. I truly missed my Down Pillows from when I was younger, UNTIL NOW. I am super happy to have the comfort of down, without the wheezing and sneezing. My advice, sleep on it, AS IS for a full week before you add or remove the extra filling that comes with it. The first night you will probably be under the assumption that regardless of what it says your head is going to sink into the mattress anyway, it won't. If you are a heavy stomach sleeper you may end up wanting to actually remove a little of the filling. If you are a back sleeper, you will be delighted that your head and neck don't just sink. And if you are a pre-dominant side sleeper you will find it refreshing not to have pillow in your nose!

About Protect-A-Bed’s® Luxury Pillow Protector

Protect-A-Bed’s Luxury Pillow Protector has a natural Tencel® surface which has a soft and silky feel, is hypoallergenic and antibacterial. The product also features the innovative Miracle Membrane® that provides a barrier for the pillow and the user to protect against allergens, dust mites and spills. Protect-A-Bed's® all new Breathe-A-Vent (patent pendling) ensures added comfort by allowing your pillow to breathe.

Again, because of my allergies, I'm very grateful for the Protector serving as a barrier to protect my pillow and my sleep! The fact that the protector still allows the pillow to 'breath' is very important. It allows it to also remain cool, so that you are not seeking out a cool spot even while sleeping which will allow for a much more profound rest.
