Hot In The Hive: Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’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

Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhat is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I’m instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what’s even better — now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy’s Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it’s not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I’m pretty sure downing this won’t taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!

Price: $25

Hot In The Hive: Chanel Les Tissages ‘Tweed’ Blush

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageStyles and trends have been done and re-done over the years, and Chanel tweed is one of these such styles. While many others have tried to imitate, no one does it quite as well. Since it’s been established that Chanel tweed suits and clothing are second to none, they’ve taken the iconic textured fabric and transferred it to their cosmetics. Chanel has a new “tweed” blush, Les Tissages, a mixture of pink and beige tones on a palette of silky powders that help give you a naturally rosy glow all through winter and right into the summer months! It’s two shades of color intertwined to resemble the iconic Chanel tweed fabric and comes in a variety of selections so you can find one that blends to your skin tone perfectly. It’s perfect as a turn-to cosmetic for yourself, or grab an extra for a mom or sister as a pretty and practical gift for the holidays!

Price: $45.00

Hot In The Hive: Ice Cream Bench

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI have to admit that it’s a little too cold for ice cream even though I know plenty of people who love to enjoy a sundae on a chilly day. Most people love ice cream, but like any indulgence the high calorie count can catch up to the best of us. That’s why the Ice Cream Bench is so cool (hah, get it?). The solid foam bench features “chocolate” seat cushions covered in canvas and “vanilla” ice cream center covered with velvet. Ok, the price tag might buy you more than a couple edible ice cream sandwiches, but wouldn’t this bench be darling in a kids’ room or even as a perfect seat in a reading nook?

Price: $950

Hot In The Hive: Beer In A Boot For Father’s Day!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFather’s Day is a step around the corner and I never know what to get my dad! I crossed ties off the list many years ago (he made me), he probably has bathrobe and slipper sets to last him two lifetimes, and all those cool gadgets and grill tools that my brother and I were gonna go halfsies on? He’s already bought them for himself! So, I think this year, I will go for a gift that’s something fun mixed with something a little traditional. Most men like beer… maybe even borderline love. Men have loved beer throughout the ages so much that German soldiers would drink it out of their boots, rather than not drink it at all! So this Father’s Day, get your dad the gift of tradition and beer with a glass beer boot from HomeWetBar! These glass boots hold up to 18 oz of beer which is about half a liter. Not big enough? They also come in two liter boot sizes! Dad may be sick of getting house slippers, but here’s some footwear that he’ll love to get out and use again and again! At $20 each, get a pair of beer boots and join your father for a Father’s Day brewski!

Price: $19.95

Hot In The Hive: Urban Decay Rocks

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAs a big fan of Urban Decay for all my more indulgent beauty buys (glittery eyeliner, purple opalescent eyeshadow…), it came as no surprise to discover that the brand has recently released their own collection of stick-on crystals to bling out your makeup look! The Urban Decay Rocks kit comes with 24 tiny crystals (in gold, silver, and iridescent) and brush-on lash glue for easy bedazzling. Use on the outer and/or inner corners of your eyes, on your nails, or even along cheekbones if you’re feeling especially Lady GaGa-esque. While it’s certainly a bold beauty move, it’s a fun way to jazz up your New Year’s look — all you need is the confidence to pull it off and a steady hand!

Price: $18
