5 things that put you in the holiday spirit!

Here are my top 5 things to put you in the HOLIDAY SPIRIT!

1) GO SKATING UNDER THE TREE!

Yes, it is a bit cliche. So is opening gifts, and you still do that! There is something about being under a giant tree, ice skating, and New York City that is all so magical!

2) ELF YOURSELF!

It makes you laugh to see yourself as an elf...and it makes your friends laugh! So do it! Watch mine here

3) Get a holiday drink at Starbucks

Nothing makes you feel more Jolly in the office than a Peppermint Mocha Latte...and if you are really in the holiday spirit...buy one for the person behind you!

4) Go to Santacon

3,000+ people dressed like Santa...enough said!

5) DONATE

Nothing puts you in a better holiday spirit than helping others less fortunate. You can donate your time at a food shelter, donate blood, donate toys, or donate to The world Race (hint hint)...The point is...This is the season to give! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

AS GOOD AS ITS GUESTS

Bead for life helps women in Uganda

Beads for Life Jewelry

BeadforLife eradicates extreme poverty by creating bridges of understanding
between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens.
Ugandan women turn colorful recycled paper into beautiful beads, and people who care open their hearts, homes and communities to buy and sell the beads.

The beads thus become income, food, medicine, school fees and hope.
It is a small miracle that enriches us all.

All profits from BeadforLife are invested in community development
projects that help people work their way out of poverty.

Partying for a Cause
Every summer my boyfriend holds a summer party to bring everyone together and have a good time. This year I came up with the idea to raise money for Memorial Sloan Kettering. Vitamin water helped sponsor the event and it was a great success. Check out the photos below, and if you would like to send a donation or host your own event please email asgoodasitsguests@gmail.com.
