Looking for that perfect ugly sweater, funky suit or dress for the Christmas party? What about getting a novel suit or dress for the New Year? How about something to wear for the football season or summer fireworks?
I got the perfect wrap dress from Shinesty for the holiday/winter season!
The Quality
I was very pleasantly surprised by the weight of the garment. It is a good thick material that I have no fear of people seeing through. The craftsmanship of the dress is on point. And with it being a wrap dress, I looks as if it’s tailor-made just for me. I thought this might be a one-time novelty item, but with the great quality and versatility, I will be able to wear this dress again and again.
My Verdict
I would highly recommend getting any of your holiday or novelty attire needs from Shinesty.
I will certainly be shopping with them again! Look for upcoming photos of me in the dress on my Instagram

In many cases, a lot of relationships can become strange experiences which are separate from the rest of the world. You can easily end up living in a kind of bubble together, and – while that can be nice – it can also be quite dangerous or damaging. Before you know it, you are too codependent, and you find that there is no room to breathe. There is a balance to be found here, and it is symbolized in the fact that such relationships will generally then need to seek out some outside help for their relationship to work as well as possible. In this article, we will look at some of the occasions when that outside help is going to be helpful in a relationship, and might be worth considering.
For Therapy
Sometimes, you will need therapy. That could be because something is going wrong, or one of you is unhappy without knowing why, or it might be that something huge has happened which has affected you both and therefore the relationship itself. If you feel that therapy is needed, then you should allow each other the space to engage with that – and if it is couples’ therapy you are looking for, then it is especially important to do so, and particularly to find a therapist that you can both be happy with. When therapy is needed in a relationship, it is important to seek it out, and to allow some time for things to settle as you do so. It could be the best thing you ever did as a couple.
After Separation
Even once you have separated from a person, there can often be the need for some outside assistance to make things a little easier. That will generally be because there is some kind of disagreement surrounding the terms of the separation, and that can be something that really gets in the way. If you have children, for instance, you might need to seek out an experienced family lawyer to help you work through your visitation and so on, so that is something to be aware of. Even after separation this kind of outside help can be really helpful, and in fact most couples need that more at this time than at any other time while they were together.
When Space Is Needed
Sometimes, people in a relationship just need space from each other. The truth is that this is a perfectly ordinary and healthy thing to need, and it is important to make sure that you can allow it for each other. But if you are struggling to do that, you might want to seek out the help of a good friend, even if it is a mutual friend, who can likely offer some advice and assistance. They might even be able to help by offering a place to stay for a while, should that be necessary. As you can see, there are many ways in which such a person might help, should this become important.

Moving to a new house can be a very exciting time. You’ll get to make a new place your own. You can host a house warming party and as they say, a change is as good as a rest. It can be refreshing moving into a new house.
But there is a great deal of stress that goes along with moving homes. There is a lot that will need to be sorted ahead of the move, and packing up all of the items that you own in the world can be both physically and mentally draining.
There may be times that you and your partner or family may bicker due to the stress that you are all under, and it can be hard to manage your feelings when it comes to the stress of moving.
The best way to avoid stress is to plan your move well. Here are a few top tips for dealing with your home move in the least stressful way possible.
Hire Someone To Help
Moving house is a lot of work. Everything that you own will need to get boxed up and moved to a completely different address. This takes a lot of effort and you may be worried about damaging things in transit.
Hiring a company like On The Go Moving will mean that you won’t have to do all of the heavy lifting. You will get a professional crew of movers who are experienced and quick and safely moving your furniture and possession without a hiccup.
Start Early
If you want a stress free move, the earlier that you can start to pack the better. This will allow you to get a good head start on the long slow process that is required ahead of your move.
Start by boxing up items that you won’t be needing anytime soon. The more you can do without until you move, the better. Be sure that you don’t pack anything that you will need until after you have moved.
Pack Carefully
There are two things that may really cause you to stress once you arrive in your new home. Firstly, not knowing where anything is when you start unpacking. And secondly, when you start unpacking and you find something that has broken along the way.
There is a way to minimize the risk of both of these stressful outcomes and that is to pack carefully and be organized as you do so.
Packing similar items together and marking up your box with what is inside will help you. Label the box with the room that you want it to be put into when you move so that boxes will go straight to the correct place.
Don’t overload boxes, particularly if you are filling them with heavier items such as books. You would not want them splitting as you carry them.
Delicate items should be wrapped up and the box should be labeled informing the movers to handle the box with care.

We spend a lot of time in our cars, especially over the holidays as we travel to visit relatives. But how many of us have bothered to brush up on our technique since first passing our tests? Things are changing all the time on the roads, so refreshing your memory on best practice is massively helpful. It can also save you money, as a lot of safer driving techniques also use less fuel, making them good for you, your family and the planet. Safer drivers can also benefit from lower car insurance premiums, especially if you opt for ‘black box insurance’, which monitors your driving patterns using telematics software, installed via a GPS tracker or sometimes an app on your smartphone. It’s the same technology used by fleet management services for driver safety training, and can save you a lot of money. So, how do you make sure you’re driving safely this winter?
Stick To A Sensible Speed
Speed is one of the easiest factors for any driver to control, and it’s also the one that makes the most difference when trying to drive more safely and fuel-efficiently. Speed is named as the most common factor in fatal road accidents, so you must take care to alter the speed you do to take note of things like the road and the weather conditions. At this time of year, you’re more likely to be driving in challenging conditions such as heavy rain, sleet, storms or snow and ice, so really take a moment to adjust your speed down and if your vehicle has a speed limiter consider using that so you don’t accidentally creep up. It’s also a good idea to do a winter safety check on your car before setting off.
Minimise Distractions
When we pay attention to anything other than the road ahead, we are compromising our focus and introducing danger into our ride. Although driving while talking on a handheld phone or while texting are now against the law in a lot of places, research suggests it’s just as dangerous – although not illegal – to take a hands-free telephone call on the road. It’s a better idea to switch your phone into flight mode while driving so that you can’t be distracted by incoming calls. If you have small children, backseat squabbling can also be dangerous, so make sure to pack plenty of activities, games or a movie for them to watch on a tablet – you can get car activity trays for kids or tablet holders to stop them dropping it.
Take Regular Breaks
If you have a long journey to make, you need to ensure that you factor in enough breaks along the way. Research shows that the tiredness levels of a driver following just a few hours of night-time journeying has the same effect as being over the drink-driving limit. If you’re sleepy, your reaction times suffer and your decision making is impaired. So make it a priority to stop and stay hydrated regularly throughout any long journey.

Winter conditions can cause hazardous roadways. But forgetting to prep your car for the season ahead can cause some headaches along with some potential hazards.
Check the fluids
Make sure your car has all its fluids. Running out of oil can be detrimental to the car. Although, running out of windshield washer fluid can be just as scary when your windshield is covered with salt and sludge splashed across your window while traveling down a highway.
If you are unsure of what fluids are needed or where they go, stop by to see a local mechanic or visita full service has station. They can certainly help.
Check your lights
This might be a two person job… But be sure to check all of the lights on the car. Winter can bring dark nights, fog and snowy whiteouts. Replace any lights that aren’t working. And be sure your headlights are shine l shining as bright as possible. Use the headlight cleaner solution, or to bring your headlights back to peek condition look into headlight restoration wipes.
Check your tires
Check your tire tread before winter to prevent sliding. Using the penny test will help tell you if you need new tires. Insert a penny, Abe’s head facing dow into the tread, if you can see the top of Abe Lincoln’s head you probably need new tires.
Pack the trunk
Making sure the trunk has the usual… Spare tire, jumper cables, flares, extra fluids, etc is important. But in the winter make sure you also pack a blanket, gloves, snow pants, rock salt or cat litter, water and snacks just in case you get stuck somewhere. Some folks recommend a small snow shovel and tire chains depending where you live or travel.
Prepping the car for winter doesn’t have to be over extensive like, detailing the paint job or coating the under carriage. Those are personal preferences. But all cars need a little prep to help prevent certain potential hazards. Have a safe and happy season!
