Walmart has one of the largest, most affordable selections of holiday pajamas that I have yet to see this year. Whether your family has a tradition to wear matching holiday pajamas or if you just want to gift them to a girlfriend, I highly suggest checking out Walmart’s online selection of cozy essentials. Not only are both pairs of pajamas pictured above cheap (under $16), they are insanely soft! I am not kidding when I say they are softer than most of my higher name brand pairs so no need to worry about sacrificing coziness here!
When it comes to gifts, Walmart has already started their Black Friday deals so there’s no need to wait for offers to get better. Forget the stress of waiting to battle the crowds during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness and do all of your holiday shopping early this year! Keep in mind, if you are interesting in purchasing any holiday gifts or pajamas from Walmart, don’t forget that they offer free next day delivery on orders over $35 for qualifying purchases.

Last month at the RewardStyle Conference, I had the opportunity to meet with the Garmin team and learn all about their smart watch, the vívomove® HR. I instantly fell in love with it’s chic look and had to have my own. Since getting mine, Mama Adams has oohed and ahhed over it every time that I went home so when the time came, I knew exactly what to get her for Mother’s Day. I let her open her gift a little early this year so that she could be in these pictures with me and I’d say her face says it all of how excited she was to receive her own.
While Mama Adams has had a smart watch before this one, I have personally held off getting a smart watch up until now because frankly they just weren’t cute enough. With being in front of the camera 24/7 I didn’t want to invest in something that wouldn’t look good with every outfit. The whole point of a smart watch is to wear it all day, everyday to track your life so finding a watch that would look with everything from pjs to business casual was a must have. The biggest selling factor for me with the Garmin vívomove® HR is that it at first glance it looks just like a normal, fashionable watch but when instructed to “come to life”, the smart watch display transforms to give you all of the smart capabilities that it houses.
Garmin vívomove® HR can honestly do it all. Some of it’s features include tracking your steps, calories, distance, heart rate, and stress. Since it is able to connect to your smart phone, it can also alert you of incoming calls, text messages, calendar reminder and even social media notifications. Mama Adams is a pilates and golf lover so she is excited for all of the capabilities revolving around her active lifestyle whereas I was sold on the fact I could still be “connected” without constantly having my phone in my hand. There are so many times I will get a text message while working and then somehow I fall down a black hole of opening Instagram, scrolling my feed, watching stories, and then an hour later I realize I’ve just wasted an hour of my life all because I opened my phone to check a text message!
I could go on and on about all of it’s amazing features but I’ll just leave you with one more. The battery life on these watches is crazy good. They can last up to 5 days! This is almost unheard of with other smart watches and was another reason why Mama Adams made the switch. In fact it’s one of the main reasons that we are already looking into one for my Grandmother as well. Although it is a smart watch, it has been extremely easy to navigate and figure out which is why it would be an excellent gift for all ages.
With Mother’s Day in less than a week, I’m excited to share that Garmin is currently running a $50 off promotion so some of the vívomove® HR smart watches are as low as $150. Mama Adams opted for the Sea Foam with Silver Hardware watch (currently $150) while I have the Rose Gold Stainless Steel Case with Gray Suede Band(currently $299). The hardware and band are fully customizable depending your your lifestyle and preference. They ship in just 1-3 business days so you still have time to pick one up for mom, grandma or any other special lady in your life!

It seems like every year no matter how well I think I’m ahead of the game, Christmas sneaks up on me and I’m scrambling last minute to buy gifts! My house is conveniently located across the street from a Francesca’s and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it has saved me on many occasions. I can always count on Francesca’s for some of my favorite gift items such as the oh so popular Volcano candles. I don’t know a single girl who does not squeal when they open up a Volcano candle gift! It’s a fool proof gift for all ages. It’s seriously the gift that knows no bounds!
One of my favorite parts about Francesca’s gift selection is that they have funny and unique gifts which is always a safe bet to give someone who is extremely hard to buy for or that already has everything else! Whether you are looking for the cozy lover, beauty lover, the girl who has everything or your sister who is impossible to buy for, I promise you there is something for everyone at Francesca’s! Just a heads up that today is the last day for FREE standard shipping before expedited shipping costs start to occur. You have until 11:59 CST!

If you are wondering what happened to day 6, it got away from me on vacation! Don’t worry there is still a new giveaway but I am still working on catching up on gift guides! The day 6 giveaway is for a T3 curling wand trio! This is the curling wand that I use every day and get tons of questions about. I recently did a tutorial on how to curl your hair in less than 5 minutes using this wand! Find it here. It is a splurge item so I am excited to be giving one away. Enter the giveaway HERE.
The day 7 giveaway is for the wine lover. I am giving away a 3 month subscription to Winc wine club as well as a $75 gift card to The Daily Tay’s graphic tee shop. Enter the giveaway HERE.
As cliche as it sounds, no guy or girl can pass up a new coffee mug, especially if they are a coffee lover! My personal favorites are the ones with funny sayings or my initial.
2. Work bag
Most working ladies don’t want to carry a purse and laptop bag so a larger tote is usually a good compromise. Check out some of my favorites below.
3. Desk necessities
From one 8-5er to the next, there are a few desk necessities that after being in the office for a few years I can’t live without. Some of these items include picture frames (let’s make it a little homey in the office!), ceramic tray (for rings and other jewelry that might get in the way of a keyboard), and a docking station (to charge phone/ipad).
4. Wrap
For some insane reason that I will never understand, office buildings are always the equivalent of the North Pole temperature year round. I always keep a few different colored cardigans/wraps at work for this purpose.
