Happy Holidays from a Working Girl

Working on the Friday before a holiday week is torture in the most inhumane way. Only way to survive is to plug in the Lady Gaga Pandora station and try not to stare longingly at the clock.

If you're at work right now here's a list of things you're probably doing to make it to 5 o'clock

1. Social media - as if you don't do that everyday
2. Participating in an office-wide gif e-mail battle. You know the e-mails that never end due to people posting random/funny gifs they find. 
3. Going to bathroom or getting water. That wastes a good couple of minutes. 
4. Refreshing your mail and getting nothing new. Duh! Everyone else is already on the holiday break. 
5. Thinking about the alcohol you will consume once the bell tolls 5. 

As a fellow working girl, have a very pc Happy Holidays!

Gift Giving Guide for Guys

So here we are. The holiday season is in fully swing, and the credit cards are swiping right along. I dread present selection for the holidays. Why you ask? Because boys are impossible to buy for. Their presents are boring, and I get tired of always giving my boyfriend a shirt. Practical and predictable. Where's the fun in that?

Here's a quick cheat sheet of ideas I've garnered for my own needs. I am sharing with all those lost and confused females that aimlessly wander up and down the aisles of Academy in search of something.

• Video games ($50) - While some are a little pricey, I know my boyfriend becomes gaming-obsessed during his free time. Don't know what game the guy in your life would like? They really do have a game for everything. Sports, fantasy, war. Call of Duty and Assassins Creed are two very popular options. 
• Cologne ($50-$55) - This present is a little riskier. It's hard to guess fragrance for guys, and I've come to learn that all men are extremely particular. Yet, if you feel confident, go for it! Not to mention you'll benefit from it also. Soak in the musky aroma. 
• Ball Caps ($15) - Every guy could use a ball cap. Think it's a little generic? You can always get it customized by a shop at your local mall or online!
• Beer Brewing (varies) - For men of legal drinking age, what better gift than beer. Not only is it probably one of his favorite past times, but he'll feel important since he's the one in control of his brew. I purchased the Beer Machine in the past, and it really works great!
• Sporting tickets (varies) - Whether to a minor league baseball game or an NBA game, sporting events are a great gift idea. Not to mention, if you get two, you'll get to go! Look at it as a different way to spend some time together.

Well that's the list to get your idea train started. Let me know if you have any great ideas! I'm always looking for new guy presents. Why can't they just be easy and like nail polish?
