Win My Favorite Lip Balms of All time


Forgive me for posting a Friday giveaway today. On the other hand, it’s a good way to brighten up a chaotic Monday, right?

It’s that time of year again. Time to talk about Fresh Sugar lip balm and why you should stuff stockings full of it and hoard tons of it for yourself. I did a search of our site to find an old review to link this to and discovered the history makes me look like a Fresh Sugar lip balm hustler. But whatever. I love the buttery soft texture, the tinted options, the Advanced Therapy nighttime version, and pretty much, just all of it. And all of it is exactly what you might win if you enter this giveaway for the Fresh Sugar Soiree Set with a mini version of each of their lip balms.

Enter here. Good luck! A winner will be drawn tomorrow.

Dallas Holiday Gift Guide: The Best Gift For the Ladder Climber

Because, apparently, wearing funky socks is the way to the top, I present to you these Hook + Albert dress socks from new Rye 51 in West Village. Quality socks are a great, if slightly clichéd, gift for three reasons. One, they’re a luxury item that don’t hit the top of the priority list for most men. Two, they’re practical. They’ll actually be put to good use. Three, if this gift is for someone whose feet you’re forced to look at often, they’ll replace a pair of dirty, hole-y socks that you hate. It’s a win all around. These Hook + Albert socks are made of breathable Peruvian pima cotton, have hand-linked toes for a comfortable fit, boast a “specialized arch support band” for increased circulation, and come in one size. Each pair retails for $30 at Rye 51.
