Dress up that hair tie with a simple and teen approved silver, gold or rose gold plated Skinny Elastic Holder Bangle.  Not only is it pretty but no longer will your teen or tween walk around with those tight hair elastics strangling their wrists!  PS  Great for the Mamas too!

It’s candy nirvana!  Filling this one under the Teens and Tweens category but who are we kidding, Project Candy Box is perfect for everyone on your gift list with a sweet tooth and not just for Christmas.  We can’t help thinking this would be a “sweet” gift to send to all those College kids away from home for the very first time.  Why is it so wonderful?  Well, because it’s a box of candy and chocolate delivered to your house every single month! Yes, with your subscription every month you can expect a candy box with a fun theme as well as a bunch of imported items from all over the world.  Each box contains at least 10 different full sized items. ARV $30.00 (discounts if you sign up for multiple months)

Vellabox

My oldest daughter has been asking for just one thing for six months.  Permission to have candles in her room.  Perhaps this is because her Mother has them all over the house?  In the dining room, the family room, the bedroom and the kitchen.  Quality candles can change the entire atmosphere of a room,  Vellabox sources the highest quality candles hand-poured by American artisans and combines them with a bonus lifestyle gift and a unique packaging style to create a memorable unboxing experience each and every month.  Subsribtions start at just $10.00 per month.  For that price, Vellabox will be delivering for the teen, the tween, my Sister, Mom and myself every single month!   Be sure to find Vellabox on Instagram.

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale.

All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
