Give Day 23: Give What You Can

Donate coats, shoes, eyeglasses… whatever you can.

With only 2 days before Christmas it becomes more and more apparent how lucky some of us are and how hard it is for others.

Give what you can this holiday season.

After all, giving is better than receiving.

Give Day 22: Give Style & Win!

Here I am in Elisabetta Rogiani at the Arnold 2011.

I am loving the giving spirit this season!

With Christmas literally 3 days away I want to share an amazing coupon with you. My friend, and celebrity fitness designer, Elisabetta Rogiani, has generously offered a $20 coupon to be used on her site between now and the end of January. Perfect timing for 2012 resolutions!

You've seen Elisabetta Rogiani's amazing clothes on tons of Oxygen covers, as well as on the likes of your favorite fitness girls like JNL, Alicia Marie, and more. Don't miss this!

The first 3 people to comment will win!!!

Give Day 21: Give a Designer Touch (& Winners!!!)

I love the new look that can come from rearranging your furniture. It's a cheap and cheerful way to spruce up your home. Help somone jazz up their living space with a bit of your energy and creative talent (I know you have it). It's fun and the results are immediate.

Years ago before I began my writing career with Oxygen I was an interior designer and my tip for you is... always arrange things in multiples of 3. Put your candles and poinsettias in groups of 3 or arrange gifts in piles of 6 for a balanced and colorful holiday grouping.

What are your quick and easy home interior tips?


Most importantly here are the winners from Week 3:

Give Day 20: Give Magazines (and Win!)

Stuck for gift ideas? How about setting up your loved ones with a subscription to Oxygen or Clean Eating? It's a gift that inspires health and Eating Clean all year long! There's nothing better than that.

Today I'll be giving away 3 subscriptions to Clean Eating and 3 subscriptions to Oxygen to the first 6 commenters below.

But the giving doesn't end there....

 As some of you know I am the cover girl for for January's Oxygen. I was really happy to be offered the spot again, but it was a lot of work to prepare for it, especially with all of the ups and downs 2011 has brought. Inside I share the reason why this cover was so important for me. It's been a tough year in our house, but we've all pulled through together as a family and with your incredible support.

As a thank you, I will be giving away 3 signed copies to ???

Give Day 19: Give a Spa Day!

The holidays are quickly approaching and with that comes the stress and strain of getting things organized and ready for family gatherings, trips away from home and lots of food (healthy, clean food of course)! 

On Saturday, I encouraged you to "kidnap" a friend for the day and today's GIVE follows along the same theme of taking some quiet time to enjoy with the ones you love. Today's GIVE is also all about pampering in the midst of the busy-ness. 

Take that friend or another or a family member of your choice to your local nail salon and treat them to a mani and pedi. Can't get to the spa? No problem! Do your own treatment at home. You can set the scene with candles and calming music. Don't forget the foot and hand massage! What a special gift that doesn't cost much either. 

Today I am treating my girls to manis and pedis at home. It's a great way to spend time with my girls who are home from university. 

Who will you treat today?

Give Day 18: Give Beauty (and win!)

Want to look and smell beautiful this holiday season? Gloss your lips and bath your hips (and other parts) with natural ingredients from my beekeeping artisanal friends, Stella & Sheldon, at Sweet Pure Honey.

You can read more about their incredible mission here in a special guest post they did for me. I just love their honey and beauty products!

Today we'll be giving away some of their delicious products to the first 3 commenters below who tell us their favorite beauty secret.

Mine? It's simple... Eat Clean! My skin has never glowed as it does now with a clean diet.

And here is a clean Honey-Drizzled Hot and Spicy Pizza recipe care of Stella and Valerie Howes at Reader's Digest. Delicious and perfect for glowing skin and hungry tummies on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy!

Give Day 17: Give the Day

"Kidnap" a friend for the day and treat them to your favorite drive, museum, coffee shop, hike or quaint little town.

Spend the whole day "off the radar".

I do this with my mom and sister as much as I can. It's the best!
