Kathy's Calm To Chaos Life Top Ten Holiday Gifts For Girlfriends - #10 Starbucks Caffee Verona Gift Set

This year I've decided to create a top ten series of the best gifts for girlfriends this holiday season! I've asked fellow girlfriends what they think is the best gift to give a fellow girlfriend along with my person choices of things I both love to give and get, and have compiled the list! Hope  my followers enjoy this series and discover the perfect gift for one of the girlfriends!

#10 on the list is a coffee and mug set! Having coffee with a girlfriend is not just American, but it's something you see going on all over the world. To me coffee and girlfriends are meant to be together. I love going over my sister's house for coffee and just catch up on the things we've missed in each others lives. It's these memories and good times, along with follower input that has put the Starbucks Caffe Verona Gift Set Christmas 2013 2 Mug Gift Set into the #10 spot.

As you can see the mugs are just so adorable and very holiday-ish with their red color and Starbucks village scene. The coffee is the Dark Caffe Verona blend! Can we say yummmy in a cup! This #10 girlfriend gift can be purchased right on Amazon for $25. It is also Prime eligible which would give you free 2 day shipping! If you aren't a prime member you can sign up for a 30 day trial, which includes Prime eligable purchases, such as this great gift set, free 2 Day shipping.

Buy your bestie this cute little coffee and mug set this holiday season!

Training Tip Tuesday: Crate Training 101

Training Tip Tuesday: Crate Training 101

Where does your dog prefer to nap - under a table, desk or coat? Dogs feel secure in a small, enclosed space; it’s like a den to them. You can recreate that feel – and develop a healthy training environment – with a crate. The Principle Behind Crate Training Dogs like small, enclosed spaces because of the security it offers them. Crating is not “jailing” your dog, and the crate should never be used for punishment. Instead, it draws on your dog’s preference for small spaces and allows you an extra measure of control over your dog. If you practice preventative training, your dog will spend time in the crate when you aren’t around to set boundaries.Crates are also helpful when working to housetrain your dog.

Get Fit with Fido!

Thinking of having your dog join in your fitness routine? Here are some tips to help you and your dog out!

Get Fit with Fido!

Exercise can help your dog family live a happy, healthy life together. So, get off the couch and get fit as a family! Grab a ball and play a game. Throw a flying disc in the backyard or go for a swim. Make an after dinner walk your new family tradition. Get creative and find activities that you enjoy doing together. Not only is an exercise routine good for your health (and waistline), spending this extra time together will strengthen your bond as a family, too! Tips to Remember: • Always have your dog checked out by a veterinarian before you start any new and demanding activity with your dog. Some breeds require extra care when exercising. Once you get the go-ahead, have fun! • Start out slow. As with any new...Read More

Beautiful Beaches & Hot Nightlife Aruba!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aruba Tourism Authority for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been looking around for the next best vacation spot that has all of the things I'm looking for. Nice beaches, shopping, activities, special events, local attractions, a nightlife, and of course shopping!! While on my search I stumbled upon Aruba. Honestly, I never gave it much thought until I read more about Aruba. I love warm places where I can walk with my shoes off and feel the sand between my toes, then take a walk and do a little shopping, and finish off the night with a few cocktails dancing the night away! Now that is my theory of a vacation. Aruba travel has all that to offer and then some!

Look at the beautiful pictures above the scenery is just gorgeous. But I want a vacation spot that doesn't just boast beautiful skies, sandy beaches, and activities - what I want is a nightlife. I'm naturally a night owl and where ever I vacation I make sure there is a nightlife that is talked about. I love being out at night on a warm evening enjoying myself with friends of my other half. After reading about Aruba nightlife it definitely has everything I'm looking for. It offers Vegas-style revues with a carnival like atmosphere stemming from dancing in costumes to upscale bars and everything in between. Like to enjoy yourself at a beach bar? No problem, Arbua has plenty of those for you to enjoy. There is a bar, bistro, and restaurant along the main strip to fulfill everyone's entertainment need.

You can easily get in and out of downtown on their bus service and taxi services have set rates. Want to rent a car and check out the local attractions on your own? You can do that too and guess what, parking is always free. Less spent on parking means more in your pocketbook to shop, spend on local activities, or check out the nightlife. 

As the video says ..."Aruba - One Happy Island" I think I agree!

Head on over to Aruba.com and check out everything this amazingly beautiful and full of life vacation destination has to offer! Then come back and leave a comment on this post why you too would love to go vacation in Aruba. 

Derek Cardigan Designer Eyeglasses For Less

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Coastal.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
In today's world almost everyone wears glasses. Whether they are for fashion or because you truly need to wear them to correct your vision. I wear them for both, during the day I seem fine, but at night I have to have my vision correcting glasses on to drive at night sometimes I like my glasses to be fashionable, however what I do not like is the hefty price tag that comes along with those fancy frames.  For the past few years I've been getting both my prescription glasses and fashion glasses from Coastal.com. Coastal.com is the largest online retailer in North America for purchasing glasses. YES, you can purchase glasses online from your home, office, or mobile device and save money too. Coastal.com offers many varieties of Designer Eyeglasses at the fraction of the cost you would pay in a brick and mortar store.

Make A Difference Glass Dharma Earth Day 2013 + GIVEAWAY

Earth Day 2013 is just a few months away and this year's campaign theme "Make A Difference" has already launched. Glass Dharma, the makers of the original glass straw, is determined to indeed make a difference. They are going to be giving away 1000 glass straws this year in hopes that people will help the planet and start to eliminate the use of plastics by using their glass straws instead. If all of you remember they were my very first giveaway I ever hosted when I started up Kathy's Calm To Chaos Life. Over the past year and one half I've used their straws in all sorts of drinks such as cold drinks like  sodas and iced teas, cocktails, and even warm or hot drinks. I'm strange, I like to drink my coffee out of a straw maybe it has something to do with eliminating the coffee stains on my teeth because the coffee doesn't hit the front of my teeth when using a Glass Dharma straw. Glass Dharma straws have never let me down and they have gotten a lot of compliments and attention from anyone who has seen them in my drinks. Below are the straws I received a year and a half ago, they are still in near perfect condition and are used regularly! No wear or tear on them at all... and also very easy to clean!

Are Your New Year's Resolutions Still On Track?

Every year as the New Year approaches we all do it, create that long list of New Year's resolutions. Some resolutions seem to hit that list year after year after year. But, question is do you stay on track with all your resolutions or are you one that throws them out the window a few weeks into January? I wanted to wait to write about my resolutions so I can compare to where they stand now, if they've deviated from the original, or if they are totally off the list! You will see how the first resolution leads into the second, the second into the  third, and so on. All of my resolutions may have little changes in them, but they all fell right in a row like ducks leading into each other. This was not my intention, it just happened that way!

To all of my followers! Thank You for your patience while we went though a rough patch there the first few weeks of the New Year!

Survey - Baby/Child Products & Enter to Win 1 of 10 $25 Visa Cards

If you have a few minutes to share your feedback on the ingredients used in personal care products (think lotions, body washes, shampoos, etc.) for babies and kids, please check out this survey from my friends at The Motherhood: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R3QHRFF

They want to know if you trust the ingredients in traditional baby/child care products, whether you're reading product labels for personal care products the way you might read food labels, and other important and interesting topics.

There’s an option to submit your email address at the end of the survey – anyone who completes the survey and provides an email address will be entered to win one of 10 VISA gift cards worth $25. (The email address is just a way to notify the gift card winners and won’t be shared.)

Thanks in advance for your help! If you’d like, you are welcome to share the survey with other moms and dads, too!!!
