Sorority rush-ready hair.
When my daughter was preparing to participate in sorority rush/recruitment four years ago, she wanted a Dyson Airwrap. Lucky for her, I had one I had only used once or maybe twice. I was just an old dog who couldn’t learn a new trick, so I gave it to her. She loved it, and she used it…still does! It delivers beautiful curls or beautiful straight hair without as much heat damage as lots of other hair tools. It’s also faster than using multiple tools, because it dries and curls (or smooths) at the same time. It also has a hefty price tag, but Shark makes something similar that’s on sale right now.
If you or someone you know wants the Dyson Airwrap, you can get it at Amazon here. My daughter loves hers, and if it suddenly stopped working, I’m sure she would want another one of the same brand.

However, I have a friend who purchased her daughter the similar item from Shark brand, and her daughter loves the Shark. The regular price for the Shark brand item is about $350, but right now (at time of writing), you can get two versions of it for $199. That’s a huge savings for a great product. It would make a great graduation gift or birthday gift. Or maybe you are already doing holiday shopping! It would make a great gift for Christmas or Hanukkah. Purchase here.

Happy Shopping!

Necessity is the Mother of Invention.
Over the past month, I have suffered…and I do mean suffered…with sciatica. I cancelled two vacations because of it! Anyone who knows me knows I never want to cancel a vacation.
Today, I got a cortisone injection in hopes of making it better, and just in time for a trip! I’m leaving this weekend for my first ever trip to Palm Springs, and I’m excited! I can give my checked bag to the skycap at the airport…that problem is solved. As for my carry-on? I was concerned about lifting a carry-on. And I have to have one with spinner wheels for the airport. I searched and found a solution…a rolling carry-on bag that will fit underneath the seat! Let’s gooooo!
If you need a rolling carry-on that will fit underneath *most* airline seats, this could be the one for you! Or it would make a great gift for someone who needs it! Maybe your mom or your grandmother or someone you know with back issues (like me!). Mine will arrive just in time for my trip!
Get it from Amazon here. It’s offered in lots of colors!

EZVALO Bedside Dimmable Lamp with Wireless Charger and Bluetooth Speaker. Y’all this is a great gift for anyone on your list. I have been using one of these for months. I got one for my college-age daughter last Christmas, and I liked it so much that I got one for me too! It’s a great addition to the nightstand, because it provides just enough light when I need a little light to get to the bathroom (I’m 58, after all) in the middle of the night. It has the wireless charger for my phone, and there have been nights I have drifted off to sleep while listening to a soothing audiobook through the speaker. I love it. This is a rare HIGHLY RECOMMEND item for lots of people on your list: moms, college students, high school students, Grandma…virtually anyone. Purchase it for anyone on your list who has a smartphone. It’s offered in Wood Grain or White for under $35 on a Cyber Monday Deal with Amazon. Get it here.

My favorite Advent devotional.
The holidays can be hectic, but I have found it helps to sit down and focus on the reason for the season. Bestselling author and fine artist Anne Neilson beautifully captures the angels’ essence in this devotional designed especially for Advent. Gorgeous, original art showcases Anne’s timeless angels, which are accompanied by daily devotions, that will guide you into the sacred beauty of the Christmas season.
It makes a great Advent gift for family and friends. I have ordered six of them for my own loved ones (and myself), and they will ship in September. If you’d like to bring peace and focus for the holidays to yourself and others, this is a great gift. The artwork is guaranteed to be beautiful, and the daily devotionals can be a calming moment during a busy season.

My favorite dupe handbag. * I receive commission for items purchased through my Amazon links.*
I have always loved handbags, and I especially love a good dupe. This one is inexpensive and cute, so I love it. It comes in several different colors, and I have four of them. At these prices, if they get messed up, just buy another one! Purchase here. They pair great with some dupe shoes you can purchase here.






My favorite wallet.
*As an Amazon Associate, I receive commission on items purchased through my links.*
For the past couple of years, I have been carrying a wallet I purchased on Amazon. I suppose it’s a “dupe” of a designer brand, but I didn’t get it because of that. I got it, because I think it’s cute, and because it has everything I need: RFID protection, folded bills space, ID window space, and plenty of credit card sleeves. I love it, and often, someone will ask me about it, so today, I decided it’s time to share the link. It comes in several colors. I have had the green one, like I said, for a couple of years, but I just ordered myself the red one. I’ve also given these as gifts. Purchase it for under $18 here.

If you’re looking for something smaller, something that simply holds credit cards, my daughter has a smaller version that’s just a credit card holder with RFID protection. Purchase it for under $18 here. (Right now, there’s also a 10% off coupon on you can use on Amazon. Just tick the box before putting the item in your cart.)

At these prices, you can buy one for yourself and buy some for gifts too! They make great gifts for recent high school or college graduates…or just for a friend who would like it!
