  The weather outside may be frightful (sorry, bad pun!) and the last thing you want to do is get out of bed, but that doesn't mean you can't bring a little glam into your life. Take this opportunity to chill out, relax, and take some time off of your busy schedule. Steal your favorite men's shirt from your dad or boyfriend like the long sleeve crew shirt from James Perse and slip on a pair of slim fit fleece pants. Grab a soft faux fur throw and cashmere slippers and you're ready to go! Make some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and escape to warmer weather by reading books set in exotic locations. Or beautify yourself with some home spa treatments. Find out what to wear without looking like a total slob by checking out my slideshow!

  Give A Double Dose Of Holiday Goodwill With Gifts That Give Back

  

  Anna Yu on Dec 17, 2008 2:22 PM PST
  

  We've always been told that it's better to give than to receive and that's totally right, especially when we can give twice! I'm not talking about buying double the presents- instead, I'm encouraging getting gifts where the proceeds go towards charitable causes. Take a look at iconic handbag maker, Coach. They launched a Coach Cares program where 20% of the purchase price will go towards causes chosen by celebrities like Mandy Moore, Jessica Alba, and Halle Berry. In the mood to beautify your family or friends? Proceeds from the Lush Charity Holiday Box gift set will go towards funding for animal rights, environmental protection and humanitarian concerns. One thing is for sure, giving these gifts will definitely put you in Santa's nice list this year! Click on the slideshow to see more gifts that give back.
