Perfect Hannukah Gift: Hamsa Hand

November 26, 2013

3 Comments

It’s no secret that the Hamsa Hand has become somewhat of a fashion statement. I’ve spotted it on sweatshirts, necklaces, bracelets, rings, bags and more….however many people don’t realize it’s cultural significance is way more ‘in’ than the trendy symbol itself!

After a little research I discovered the ‘Hamsa Hand’ represents good luck and protection. It is there to protect you from evil spirits and bad luck and anyone who may give you the ‘evil eye’.

When you have a ‘Hamsa’ either hanging in your house or your wearing one, it’s expected to be a symbol of good luck for years to come.

How does this help you pick out a last minute Hannukah gift for your friend, relative or anyone else? Easy…hello get a Hamsa!

Here’s a round up of my top 10 Hamsa Hand inspired gifts that are sure to bring good luck and protection for years to come:

My One Stop Beauty Shop: Ulta

November 25, 2013

4 Comments

Every girl has her go to store for all things beauty. Some gals are devoted Sephora fans others opt to head to Bloomingdales or Saks, however personally, my fav go to beauty store is Ulta.

It’s the perfect place for a girl on a budget, they always have coupons, sales and free gifts with purchase and what I love most? They have amazing customer service and go above and beyond to accommodate their customers!

Ulta has all the brands you love: Estée Lauder, Calvin Klein, Bareninerals, Paul Mitchell and more, all at affordable prices and with experts who can match you with the products that suit you best.

Another thing I truly love about Ulta, their return policy. How many times do you try a new shade of foundation or a certain lipstick and realize it just isn’t for you? What do you do? Eat the cost? Attempt to return it and the store not take it back? Give it to your sister? Well at Ulta they will take anything and I mean anything back if your not happy, even if you lost the receipt and the package is open they will give you a store credit and can even look up the purchase on your credit card or Ulta rewards card which leads me to my next reason on why I love Ulta…the rewards.

Ulta has one of the best rewards programs around and trust me I looked into Sephora, Bareminerals etc. 4 times a year Ulta sends you a rewards booklet with the level you reached based on your purchases for that particular time frame.

You can score shampoos, lipsticks, mascara or even a flat iron, blow dryer or curling iron! The rewards never expire, although there is an expiration date the managers always accept them past that date and they will help you find whatever you need.

If I haven’t convinced you to check out Ulta I’m not quite sure what will, but like I said, you have nothing to loose with their happiness guarantee and their unbeatable prices!

Shop Ulta

Ulta also has tons of great specials going on for the Holidays! Whether your shopping for yourself, a teenager, a pre teen or even a man in your life, Ulta has it all at great prices!
