Gift Guides and Blog Awards and Back Pain - OH MY!

I am getting onto the Holiday Gift Guide boat a little late, but I finally made one up and figured that anyone who hasn't finished their fashion-y Christmas shopping would like to take a peek! :)

Here's a shopping guide for the fashion-ista in your life (if this is you, subtley email this to your friend, brother, sister, mom, husband, whatever ;). I tried to think of the sorts of fashionable things that I would like to receive for Christmas and bring them together in a simple format. First it just started with clothing and jewelry...and then I got more Christmas and fashion-y thoughts as I went on; including shoes, handbags and accessories, burgundy nail polish, organic lip balm, a compact mirror, et cetera...

Behind each of these items is a great company with tons more stuff of equal merit, so be sure to click and check out the whole site! I hope I've given you a few ideas - kick back and enjoy the fun! :)

Also, on a personal note, I could really use some prayer. I have been experiencing some pretty bad back pain since early this week and, instead of fading away or getting better with stretching/exercise (which is usually the case), it has worsened. This is NOT fun and comes at a bad time when I am trying to do lots of things for Christmas and work. I have an appointment with our chiropracter tomorrow and I'd really appreciate if you could pray that it will help, or that God will grant me miraculous healing. Or that if He wants me to just take it slow for some reason, I will be patient. :)

P.S. If you haven't entered the 3 Weeks of Christmas giveaway, there's just a few days left and no entries! ;)

Thanks and God bless you all!
