Joining the party? Then you can't show up empty handed! Check out these cute and quirky hostess gift ideas that are sure to show your appreciation this holiday season!

Are you ready to ring in the new year?? This is one of my favorite times of year, not only because I get to dress up, but also because everyone seems to be in great spirits! Speaking of spirits, I'm sure plenty of you (including myself) will be indulging in a cocktail or two. In the effort to keep you and your new year goals in line I've whipped up two fresh and delicious drinks to keep you celebrating all evening long.

There is no better feeling than being able to make a list and check it twice! The unfortunate part about this is that my list(s) tends to always be a mile long, especially around the holidays. With a cocktail party in the works I knew that there were a few things that had to get done, the first of them being to start with a clean slate. I've never been one to pawn off my dirty work* on someone else but, this year I could use all the help I could get; luckily TaskRabbit was on board to help. Prior to this I had yet to use the service, so I was a bit apprehensive about a contract or lengthy sign up process, but TaskRabbit is neither of these.
