February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Your Bestie


2013 Holiday Gift Guide- Gifts For Your Bestie

There is nothing in the world like having a bestie—a girl who has your back no matter what. She is your shoulder to lean on and to cry on. She lets you know when you have lipstick on your teeth, toilet paper on your heel, and when your outfit is a no-go. There’s no one out there like her, and for that, you are eternally grateful. When it comes to your bestie, she deserves the best because she brings epicness to your friendship.

This year in my 2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Your Bestie, I’ve curated six gifts I think that most fabulous and glam girls would love and appreciate. The gifts are all $100 and under and have been handpicked by moi. Here we go!:

Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette

Urban Decay Vice 2

Urban Decay Vice 2 Holiday 2013

I previously reviewed the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette here. It’s a fab collection of 20 new eyeshadow shades from the makeup brand known for making amazing eye palette collections. With this set of colors, your bestie can play nice in the office and be a vixen during a fun Girls Night Out. I love the options this palette presents—with it, your bestie can create a variety of looks and virtually never get bored. What’s more, with the holiday season fast approaching, this can be an item you can give to her beforehand so she can knock ’em dead at all of the holiday parties, dinners, and soirees.

You can purchase the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette at Sephora (here) and other leading retailers. $59.

OGIO Hampton’s Women’s Tote Bag

2013-07-09 13.36.47

Digital Styling with OGIO Hampton's Women's Tote Bag Back

Your best friend is probably a woman on the move. So she would appreciate a bag that helps her tote all of her technology while looking fashionably fabulous. The OGIO Hampton’s Women’s Tote Bag does just that. As I previously reviewed here, this bag is multifunctional and durable. It’s a great bag for travel, meetings, and taking to the office. $70, OGIO (click here to purchase).

 FORMULA X For SEPHORA The Twenty-Two

Formula X for Sephora The Twenty-Two

In October, Sephora released their new line of nail lacquers called Formula X. These colors are tauted as being haute, cutting edge, and long wearing. You can give the gift of the twenty-two colors in the collection with the Formula X for Sephora The Twenty-Two set, which, you guessed it, encompasses twenty-two mini lacquers. This collection is so awesome, you may want to gift it for yourself as well. $55, Sephora (click here to purchase).

Luxe Faux Fur Scarf from Restoration Hardware

Luxe Faux Fur Scarf from Restoration Hardware

This scarf is everything! I purchased it last year for my Aunt as a Christmas gift and she loved it (and so did I). It’s perfect for the cold winter surely to invade during the winter months and makes a fashion statement. Your bestie can dress it up or down, and it’s available in five colors. And to top it off, this faux fur scarf is only $29! So you can get one for her and one for yourself. Oh, and it doesn’t shed, so no worries! Click here to purchase.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote w/ Tiffany Blue Grain Leather Cover

Breakfast at Tiffany's Leather Copy

 

This is a quintessential bestie gift. What girl doesn’t love Holly Golightly or Audrey Hepburn in the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s? With this Tiffany Blue leather-bound edition of the original Truman Capote story, this a gift that is luxe and oh so glam. And since it’s from Tiffany, it is the real deal. $100, Tiffany.com. Purchase here.

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Home Candle

Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede

I first became acquainted with Jo Malone when I visited Nordstrom Saint Louis Galleria for an event this past summer. I was intrigued by the fragrance that wafted through their area in the cosmetics department, and have been a fan ever since. One of my favorites is their Peony & Blush Suede Home Candle. It smells simply divine and is something every girl should own. The candle isn’t cheap at $65, but burns slow and fills your entire home with lushness. I adore this fragrance and highly recommend it for the bestie who is into her home and decor. Purchase it here.

Best friends—gotta love ’em! I hope that my 2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Your Bestie gives you a few ideas for your Christmas gift giving list. I had fun putting it together for you!
