GIVEAWAY! 6 MONTHS OF ROCKSBOX!

I normally am someone who likes to give a tangible, in person gift...but sometimes a gift can actually be more thoughtful when it's not something you give in person. I'm talking anything from magazine subscriptions (bridal mags for a friend who gets engaged near the holidays!) to those healthy-snack subscriptions for my paleo-no-gluten-whatever friends who still like to pretend like they are eating snacks like the rest of us.

All of this babble is to assure you that sometimes giving a gift that will continue to surprise someone month after month down the road can be seriously awesome...I mean...who doesn't love getting real mail?

------
My subscription suggestion this Holiday season shouldn't be a shock to anyone.
Yup, you guessed it, a Rocksbox subscription. 
Gifts start as low as $29, which basically gives them a month of Rocksbox + $20 to spend on jewelry!

Rocksbox is a one-size-fits-all gift that is sure to please anyone with any taste, since they have jewelry options that are over-the-top sparkly as well as simple, clean, and minimalistic. I mean, aren't you sick of your go-to gift for your friends being candles and mugs? Give one of these subscriptions and you don't have to wrap anything, or worry whether or not they'll like it. If your friend/mom/aunt/sister/girlfriend wears jewelry....she'll like this!
 (To learn more about Rocksbox, check out the information posts I've written here, here, and here.)

So now, about the giveaway..the sweet ladies at Rocksbox are offering up 6 months of Rocksbox for FREE.
Yup.
SIX. MONTHS. FOR. FREE. 
Like, actually free. No sneaky lame fine print. 6 months to either give as a gift or KEEP for yourself!! That means 6 months of designer jewelry to wear as much as you want, for $0. 
Want to win?
Click  the link HERE to enter!

Giveaway details are within the link above- good luck!

If you want to try Rocksbox now because you're impatient like I am, just use code "beautyandbeardxoxo" at checkout through November 30th for your first month FREE!

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR JEWELRY LOVERS (FEATURING UNCOMMONGOODS!)

You all know how much I love jewelry, which is why I am SO excited to share some sparkly holiday gifts from UncommonGoods! If you haven't heard of UncommonGoods, they're a site that basically has everything under the sun you could imagine getting (or giving) as a great gift...including jewelry (like all these handmade pieces!). 
holiday gift guide for jewelry lovers!

I know jewelry can get to a place where it's a cliche gift, but that's why UncommonGoods is so great. There are pieces with real personality (some of which you can personalize) that show you really thought about them when picking out the perfect item! There's such a variety that it's easy to shop for multiple people with different tastes - whether they like big glitzy jewelry or simple, handmade pieces (like these).

I've featured mostly necklaces (like these) in this post because that's my favorite type of jewelry to wear- plus they're one size fits all- so they're easier to buy than rings or cuff bracelets that aren't adjustable! A few necklaces I have to call out below include the amazing amethyst piece on the top row (need!) and the astrology locket right next to it. Having such a subtle detail on the locket makes it seem really personal, without being over-the-top. 
holiday gift guide for jewelry lovers!

Does the lady you're shopping for already have enough baubles? Get her a jewelry holder (like one of these) to store it all in! I personally think the cup that holds makeup brushes is genius.

TAKE A SIP: CRANBERRY ORANGE COSMOPOLITAN

That's kiiiind of a deceiving title...because if you've ever made a cosmo, you know it has orange liqueur in it...but this one has a splash of orange juice in it too- so it's extra orange-y!

I used to be a bartender back in college, so I've made about a billion cosmos- but this one just basically trades out the lime for some orange. Still refreshing, a little less sour.
easy cranberry cocktail- great for thanksgiving dinner or holiday parties!
What you need to make it happen:
- 1 ounce vodka 
- 2 ounces cranberry juice cocktail
- 1/2 ounce triple sec
- splash orange juice
-ice
- orange and cranberries for garnish
easy cranberry cocktail- great for thanksgiving dinner or holiday parties!

How to make it happen:
Step 1: Combine all ingredients (except your garnish!) in a cocktail shaker (or large glass) with ice. Shake (or stir) until chilled.
Step 2: Strain into a glass, garnish, and enjoy!

This drink is super refreshing - and would be excellent at a Thanksgiving dinner or a Holiday Party!

LIFE LATELY: MISSY ELLIOTT & LEAF GRADIENTS

Welcome to week two of the new Life Lately.
Let's get right into it, shall we?

1. PERSONAL LIFE:
1. I can't post about Paris. All I can say is to remember everyone handles tragedies in a different way. Some cry, some go silent, some avoid it altogether and focus on happier thoughts. Don't think that because someone mourns in a way different than yours that their way is any less valid. Instead, focus your energies on ways to help those who have been affected the most.
2. On a lighter note, I discovered Jane the Virgin on Netflix this weekend (honestly, to hide from the news) and I know it's corny, but I really liked it.
3. I. Am. So. Ready. To. Go. Home. For. Thanksgiving. I get to see all my amazing cousins and my parents and my sister and my friends and gahhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait!! 
(these are the leaves I pressed for the Thanksgiving tables!)
gorgeous leaf gradient

2.  GREAT LINKS:
1. MISSY. ELLIOTT. HAS. A. NEW. VIDEO. So catchy. Love me some Missy.
2.The newest Matt Bellassai video. It's not my favorite one he's done, but there are a few great lines in it. BUT no matter what he says I still love blue cheese.
3. For anyone who is interested in Retail like I am, this article talks about how brick-and-mortar stores we all know are doing.

3. FAVORITE POSTS:
1. This weekend I tried making this Orange Cranberry Margarita from A Beautiful Mess (Photo: Elsie Larson)
2. I got some serious travel envy from Carly's latest post in Maine. 
3. I am so down with ANYTHING that has pomegranate in it. This Pom Sage Fizz from Domestikated Life looks awesome.
4. Anyone feel like sending me this dress that Fran is wearing in one of her latest post? Please?
B&B Best posts of the week

4. RECIPE THROWBACK:
I'm really in the mood for this Nutella Reeses cake.  Nom.



5. SALES!
1. J.Crew Factory has 40-60% off everything.  My friend Emily owns this jacket and for $150 bucks off the original price, I might have to copy her and get one too!
2. 40% off PLUS free 3 day shipping for order over $75 at Gap. This grey marl sweater looks like it would go with just about anything...


What's new with you?
Tell me something good, people!

TAKE A BITE: BAKED CINNAMON SUGAR CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

This isn't the first wonton recipe to grace this lovely blog. I've gone spicy with the sriracha wontons, and I've gone savory with the blue cheese & cranberry wontons ... and now it's time to go downright sweet!

I bring to you:
such an easy recipe! baked cinnamon sugar cream cheese wontons with a tangy raspberry dipping sauce!

Like the other wonton recipes I've shared, this one is so dang easy. You only need a few ingredients and a few minutes!

What you'll need to make it happen:
For the wontons-
- Wonton wrappers (I get nasoya from Target)
- Olive Oil Spray
- 1/2 brick of Cream Cheese 
- 1 tsp cinnamon + 2 tsp granulated sugar (to mix with cream cheese)
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon + 1 Tbsp granulated sugar (to top wontons with)

For the sauce-
- 1/2 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh)
-  1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Water
such an easy recipe! baked cinnamon sugar cream cheese wontons with a tangy raspberry dipping sauce!

How to make it happen:
Step 1: Mix together your cream cheese, cinnamon & sugar 
Step 2: Scoop about 1 Tbsp of your cream cheese mixture onto a wonton shell, and after wetting the edges, fold the shell in half, pressing the edges closed.
Step 3: Spray lightly with olive oil spray and sprinkle with your remaining cinnamon sugar mixture
Step 3: Bake in a 350 degree oven for 6 minutes, flip, and bake for another 6 minutes or until golden brown!
Step 4: Eat while still hot (just don't burn your mouth!)

While your wontons are baking, throw together your dipping sauce:
Step 1: Put your raspberries, sugar, and water in a microwave and heat for 30 seconds at a time until the raspberries are fully softened.
Step 2: Mash your raspberries together with a spoon until mixture is well combined.
If you want a smoother sauce, throw it in the blender or food processor until the chunks are gone!
such an easy recipe! baked cinnamon sugar cream cheese wontons with a tangy raspberry dipping sauce!

Ugh these are good. I'm a bigger fan of savory things than I am of sweet usually, so I can only eat a couple of these- but the tangy raspberry sauce really helps balance these out!

3 WAYS TO GET THE ROCKSBOX ITEMS YOU WANT!

If you're new around here, you can read about how Rocksbox works from my past posts HERE and HERE .

(Also, if you don't want to hear me blab and you just want the free month- just go to Rocksbox.com and use code "beautyandbeardxoxo") 

I don't work for Rocksbox (although that would be saweeet!), but I promote it because a.) I genuinely like it, and b.) the perks. Anyone who has a Rocksbox membership can refer friends (just like any other subscription service), and when you do, you get $25 to spend on Rocksbox jewelry. This doesn't just apply to me! If you signed up today, you'd also get a code that you could pass onto your friends and you get the cash monies. Easy. Simple. 

So, enough babbling. The main question I get from people is HOW to actually get jewelry you want. It's also the center of complaints from people who have tried it- that they didn't get what they hoped for.
The long & short of it is this:
You need to be firm and clear about what you want.

Don't think you're being pushy or rude, you're not. You're paying for a service, you deserve to get what you want!
Here's how to make it happen:
Step 1: Actually take the style survey and be honest.
I'm not gonna lie, some of the questions are kind of vague, like "what outfit inspires you?!", but the ones at the end are good. If you don't wear bracelets- you let them know that. If you HATE gold jewelry, you let them know that. The more clear you are, the more likely you are to get exactly what you want. The last question is open ended and you can be as specific as you want.
free month of rocksbox with code beautyandbeardxoxo
Step 2: LEAVE. FEEDBACK. 
Why do we have an issue giving feedback? Why do we feel bad to tell someone that something wasn't what we wanted? When I first started Rocksbox I felt bad giving feedback because I didn't want to be rude or hurt the stylist's feelings...which is so  dumb. I started giving clear, constructive feedback, and ended up getting better and better items. I shouted from the rooftops that I wanted Loren Hope, and I got it!
free month of rocksbox with code beautyandbeardxoxo
Step 3: Keep your Wish List short
I know, there are a million magical styles on Rocksbox, but if you have a few that you really have your eye on, keep the list short! I normally keep about 15 items on my Wish List, or maybe more if the style has a few different colors that I like.
free month of rocksbox with code beautyandbeardxoxo
So get out there. Try it out! Just use code beautyandbeardxoxo for your first month totally FREE!
Still have questions?
Send them to me at : beautyandbeard(at)gmail(dot)com
Enjoy your new baubles!
