A Christmas Book to Put Me in the Spirit

Guest post written by Winnie Craig

     Even though if I had it my way I would be reading a chapter of a book a night at home, but my life doesn't really allow that because by the time that I've gotten home from work and tended to the kids, I barely have the energy to put them to bed. But around Christmastime when there are the few moments that I can actually breathe and enjoy myself, I like to take a break to sit down and actually read some.

     This year though I'm trying to get a little more of that holiday reading in early, so I thought that I could motivate myself to do that by going ahead and buying a Christmas book. As I was online trying to find one, I came across the website www.clearwirelessinternetservice.com/clear_4g_technology.html and after I read that, I ordered one of the home internet packages on it.

     Well, out of all the books that I came across that were kind of what I wanted, I found one Christmas book that I thought would be perfect. I was looking for one that would be heartwarming and just the first chapter seem to be going in that direction.

Beautiful Sunset

      My husband sent me an email yesterday and I was really surprise upon seeing this photo. He told me that he took this photo few days ago. My husband loves red sky and so he immediately grabbed his camera and took a picture of our small house. As you can see the christmas lights were on and you can even see our christmas tree by the window. I love this photo..

It's Supposed To Be a Secret Present For Christmas

      There are so many things you can give to yourself this christmas. You don't have to go to the store in order to buy what you want or need. I don't like big crowds and fighting for a parking space. When most people are in the store shopping, that's the least time I don't like go on shopping. I like staying at home and browse the internet. In fact, I already bought a pair of jeans and something for my husband this christmas. It was not a watch nor a New Balance shoes. It 's something not expensive yet the quality is good and it is very useful to him. 

      You may think it is absolutely weird when your husband asked you what you want for christmas and you told him that you want a black walking shoe, size 8 1/2. Then when I came home one day from work, I found a shoe box next to our bed. He told me to try the shoes on if I like it and it fits. I love the shoes but unfortunately hubby told me to put it back to the box because he is going to wrap it and put it under our christmas tree. I was laughing so hard because of the fact that I already knew what's my gift from him. It really doesn't bother me at all if I know what present I am going to receive from him this christmas. It is the thought that really counts. Material things can be bought any time of the year as long you have the money. In fact I love to have a BB Dakota Lamarr coat in brown color. I can use it this winter season and also in our upcoming trips. I have to start saving now OR maybe I will tell my husband about it. He may buy it for me this christmas and if he will, I will definitely will tell him that zappos.com has this coat on sale. So I better tell my husband right away before the sale will end.

Christmas tree jewelry

Guest post written by Stevie Kimball

     My favorite part of my wardrobe would have to be my jewelry. But I just don't buy jewelry I actually have a little jewelry making business and sell the stuff to my friends and family. I also sell some of it on Etsy too. But that means that I also have a lot of random pieces of leftover jewelry making supplies that I can't really do a whole lot with, but I thought that maybe I'd use some of those to make some Christmas tree ornaments!

      I went searching online with my Cleartvbundle to find a little inspiration for holiday shapes that I could try to recreate in a chic way with all of my jewelry supplies.

      Well, I found a lot of DIY beaded ornaments ideas, but a lot of them were made with stuff that wasn't as nice as the stuff that I had to use, so I got a little more creative with my stuff and made a few wreaths with mismatched beads. They're so adorable and they do look just like jewelry for my tree.

Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven

      It was my husband's idea to buy a toaster oven because I am leaning towards buying a deep fryer. At first I was not happy when we got the toaster oven because of the reason I just stated.  But I started to like it because it is very convenient especially for us as a couple. My husband discourages me to fry my favorite chicken wings. Instead he wants me to bake it. I am not a healthy conscious person and my husband is the opposite of me. He's been encouraging me to try to watch what I am eating since the day he found out that I especially just love to eat fried foods because he is concerned that it may catch up to me someday. 

       Having this Hamilton Beach Toaster oven let us cooked small meals and snacks faster compare to our old  conventional oven which is about to be replaced soon because there are parts of the oven that are not functioning well. Since I am very lazy to fry my chicken wings especially when I have to work, the toaster oven is a great help for me. Baking or broiling the chicken wings are not as good as deep frying. It is just a start for a healthy way of living. More baking and broiling means less frying.....less frying means less fats...less fats means a healthier me...
