    Hot In The Hive: Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan

    It's a sad, sad day when you realize there's a chance you might be too old to go trick-or-treating. This realization either comes in the form of a too-high number of slammed doors during the previous year's Halloween activities, or a shift from fear of cavities to fear of calories. Eeek! Luckily there are still plenty of ways to make the most of your annual sugar rush and they don't involve dipping into the kids' stash (bad!) or going to town on the office candy bowl. This Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan turns an ordinary box of Halloween Funfetti cake mix into a haunted mansion (with the help of some sprinkles, gumdrops, and fondant), and is way more exciting than an endless influx of bite-sized Snickers bars. We know- it's not free like trick or treat candy is, and it's not exactly handed to you, but try to accept it as a part of growing up. Still feeling bitter? Be that person and hand out toothbrushes and sugar-free candy. Muahaha...


    Price: $36

    Gotta Getaway? Stay In A Castle At Ireland's Adare Manor!

    While the 18-hole championship course situated within the 840-acre estate of Adare Manor is any golfer's dream come true, you don't need to be an avid putt-putter to enjoy the unbelievably romantic expanse of the castle resort accommodations. The 5-star hotel draws visitors from all over the globe with its gorgeous manor architecture and nearby villas, fishing and equestrian activities, wine tasting, historical tours, and of course, fine dining at its sophisticated Oakroom Restaurant. But despite its luxe lodgings and offerings, I have to admit what's really luring me in -- actually staying in a real castle in the middle of that lush Ireland scenery would be like living out my wildest fairytale fantasies I've had since childhood! Take a look at the slideshow to be further tempted to book a flight to Ireland for your next princess-worthy vacay!

    Enjoy The Romantic Tuscan Countryside During Your Stay At ...

    Famed Florentine poet Dante (famous for The Divine Comedy) was exiled in the early 1300s to a little hilltop village called Gargonza. While you may not think being exiled is the best thing to happen to you, the serenity of the Tuscan countryside is worth it! If you're looking for a getaway with you and your sweetheart without the crowds and noise of other destinations, staying at Gargonza may be just right for you! You can rent an entire house for 2 people or stay in a hotel-style suite with bed and breakfast service. Enjoy the swimming pool surrounded by olive and cypress tress and discover the Tuscan countryside with fine wine, olive oils, and even shopping with antique markets and nearby brand-name outlet stores (hello Gucci!). Maybe you're planning a destination wedding? Rent the other houses (some can fit up to 10 people) and get married in the nearby church! Unlike Dante, the best part about Gargonza is that you can leave whenever you want to (though that might be hard to do). Click the slideshow to see more!
