This year, ABLE’s Holiday Gift Guide is all about beauty – and how to use some of our favorite products to feel extra luxe this season. Instead of focusing on established brands you already know and love, we want to introduce you to our favorite up and coming names. The Sephora Accelerate Program selected these companies from thousands of beauty startups to represent the new face of beauty this year, and ABLE believes 100% in the power and products these female-founded businesses are sharing. From stellar formulas to beautiful packaging to the philanthropic components of each of these brands, these items will make you – and everyone on your shopping list – glow.
The ultimate in multitasking luxury, this award-winning cleansing oil effortlessly lifts away impurities and makeup while restoring skin’s natural moisture barrier and pH balance. This non-stripping, clean-rinsing formula features papain, a fruit enzyme that helps to exfoliate and soften, and a natural Vitamin B complex to detoxify and tone. Designed with dry, dehydrated skin in mind yet concentrated enough for all skin types, Vitamin B Cleansing Oil + Makeup Remover is ultra-effective when used alone or as the perfect first step in any double cleansing routine.
Skin Dew Coconut Water Cream helps to combat dehydration and promote balanced, moisture-rich, and healthy-looking skin. This powerful, plant-based formula is crafted with mineral rich Coconut Water to hydrate and nourish and Cupuacu Butter to help neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging. It benefits all skin types and is especially good for dull, dehydrated, and combination skin. Intensely moisturizing, yet surprisingly lightweight, this cream absorbs into the skin within a minute or two and layers well with other products. It’s also perfect to help your makeup glide on smoother!
Cat Eye 101 is a long-lasting liquid eyeliner with a traceable rubber edge attached to the lid. Cat Eye 101 was designed to provide you with comfort and ease when creating a symmetrical cat eye, solving the eternal question “will my wings ever be even?” Just line, place & trace your way to becoming your own beauty expert!
Primary Pencil is a wood pencil eyeliner with a twist! On top of the soft, jet-black formula, the cap has a built-in sharpener in the lid and a soft blender brush on the end, making it easy to achieve the perfect smoky line. Dermatologist approved for sensitive skin and with a long-lasting formula, Primary Pencil will give you the look you want while protecting the delicate skin around your eyes.
The Eyeliner Duo Set includes ABLE’s hero product Cat Eye 101 and newest innovation, Primary Pencil. With these two products in hand the sky’s the limit – create a classic cat eye, a smoky line, or combine both to create a dramatic smoky eye look with jet black wings!
This handcrafted, porcelain diffuser was designed with aesthetics in mind. It features ultrasonic technology, a safety-off switch, a runtime of up to 7.5 hours, and an optional light for creating ambiance.
Sourced from Spain, our Rosemary Essential Oil has an herbal and slightly woodsy aroma. It also doubles as a hair strengthener—we like to add 1 drop to our brows before bed.
It may be cold outside, but kaia naturals is bringing the heat. What better way to unwind this hectic holiday season than with a long detox hot bath? The Takesumi Detox effervescence hot bath makes the perfect stocking stuffer. 100% cruelty-free, vegan, natural, and non-toxic.

A little while ago Mini Reviewer, Izzie (5), won a book token at school and so off we went to our local bookshop where she picked out a new book all by herself. It was Isadora Moon Gets in Trouble by Harriet Muncaster. We read it together and that was it, she was hooked and wanted to read the whole collection.
This is book about Isadora Moon. She is a bit of vampire and a bit of fairy. In this story she gets into a lot of trouble with her cousin. They make themselves small with a potion and her best friend, Pink Rabbit, is made really small because he jumped into the potion. They also make a dragon and it goes to school with Isadora. She gets in lots of trouble at school and is sent home.
My favourite part in this book is the dragon because he breathes out stars and glitter, not fire!
I am now going to read all the Isadora Moon books!
Isadora Moon goes on a school trip to a castle. The teacher didn't think it was haunted but it was. Isadora found a ghost called Oscar and when she showed the ghost to her friends they all screamed and ran away. Oscar was a friendly ghost and so he was sad. Then they found a suit of shining armour and put Oscar in it. Isadora took him back to her friends and they all made friends with Oscar. Then Isadora Moon took Oscar's helmet off and they didn't scream. Oscar was happy.
I like the front cover of this book because it's all sparkly and I like the pictures because they are all pink and black and white. My favourite character in this story is Oscar because he is friendly.
I think it is clear that Izzie is an Isadora fan, so when we discovered there was going to be an Isadora Moon Halloween Party at Waterstones with Harriet Muncaster, the creator of the series, we couldn't resist popping to Manchester to see what it was all about.
We are so glad that we did as it was a fantastic afternoon of activities and games. Our favourite part was meeting Harriet and learning to draw some of the Isadora Moon characters including a bat, Pink Rabbit and even Isadora herself!
Izzie loved the opportunity to meet Harriet and get all her books signed. She even won a prize in the fancy dress competition together with Poppy who was an uncooperative, but very cute Pink Rabbit! Their prize was a new Isadora book of course and so we are now currently half way through Isadora Moon goes to the Ballet and I am sure Izzie will be ready to share her thoughts very soon.
From a parent's perspective, I think the Isadora Moon series make perfect first chapter books for children of around age 5 and up. As Izzie is not quite reading independently, she reads a bit (with help when needed) and then I read to the end of the chapter. Reading together like this is really building her confidence and she is delighted to be reading "big" books! The stories themselves are fun and full of magic but also with an important underlying message, it's ok to be a bit different, after all Isadora is half fairy, half vampire, totally unique!
Harriet's eye-catching pink and black illustrations throughout the books make them very special indeed and I think it was the sparkly cover that initially made Izzie pick up the first book in the bookshop.
I also want to mention that Mini Reviewer, Theo, sometimes enjoys listening to these stories too so they aren't just books for girls! He also enjoyed the Halloween event and was very taken with the miniature Isadora scene Harriet had created and he could name all the characters, which I thought was pretty good going considering he is still only three!
Thank to you to Harriet and also to Waterstones for hosting such a great Halloween party. Harriet is appearing at a few more events in November 2017, you can find out more about the events and all about Harriet on her website or take a peek at this fabulous interview with her over at With Love For Books.
There are currently six books in the Isadora Moon series and the seventh book Isadora Moon Goes to the Fair will be released in March 2018. So we have a little time to read the others before then and I'm sure we will!
Thank you, her wings were not the best but it's amazing what you can do with a bin bag!!
Thank you Kate and thank you for hosting #TriedTested - off to do my commenting now!
Glad you all had a lovely time.

Scholarship applications for LGBTQ students in Charlotte metro area are open today. Click here to learn more and submit an application.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Pride announced today the establishment of its new Charlotte Pride Scholarship for LGBTQ and straight ally high school seniors or college students from the Charlotte metro area. The new scholarship marks a continued focus by the organization on intersectional and collaborative programming benefiting a wide range of Charlotte’s LGBTQ community.
Charlotte Pride may be best known for its annual LGBTQ Pride festival and parade in Uptown each year, which attracted more than 130,000 visitors over the course of the weekend event in 2016. Since 2013, however, the organization has undertaken new strategic initiatives to offer collaborative programming and community support throughout each year.
The stakes for the LGBTQ community’s well-being couldn’t be higher, especially in the aftermath of HB2, the anti-LGBTQ law prohibiting local LGBTQ-inclusive non-discrimination protections and specifically targeting transgender people. Additionally, Charlotte continues to face city-wide struggles over the lack of economic opportunities among the most marginalized and disadvantaged. Recently, a report from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Opportunity Task Force included access to college and career readiness for all students as a key recommendation for improving the community’s well being.
The Charlotte Pride Scholarship will award up to $2,000 over four years to LGBTQ and ally students from the Charlotte metro area. Funds may be applied toward tuition, fees, on-campus housing or books at an accredited two- or four-year college. In order to be eligible, applicants should have a significant, unmet financial need and should have a high school GPA of at least 2.8 on a 4.0 scale. Multiple applicants will be selected and the scholarship will be renewable for up to four years.
Applications are now being accepted for students who will start college or continue college in the Fall of 2017. Interested students should review eligibility guidelines at apply at charlottepride.org/scholarship/ by Monday, May 15, 2017.
ABOUT CHARLOTTE PRIDE: Charlotte Pride is the leader in LGBTQ visibility in Charlotte and the Carolinas. We present and collaborate on programs, projects, and activities, including the annual Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade, Latin Pride, and the GayCharlotte Film Festival, among others. Since its founding in 2000, Charlotte Pride has expanded its year-round programming and partnerships to better connect community members with its mission, vision, and values. It is one of the largest LGBTQ Pride organization in the American Southeast.

"I gave your receptionist my car keys so I couldn't leave," he said. My new patient was white as a sheet. His voice was shaking as he described his dreadful toothache that finally brought him to my dental chair. I soon realized that the tremor in his voice and pallor of his complexion was not caused by pain, but by his deep fear of dental treatment. As I glanced at his chart, I was astonished to see what he did for living. Sitting in my chair was a policeman who not only worked as an undercover drug agent, but was a member of the bomb squad, as well. This man could fool a drug dealer or calmly face a live, ticking bomb, but was afraid of me.
It is a fact that nearly one half of all Americans rarely, if ever, go to a dentist. Anxiety about dental procedures seems to be the primary reason for avoiding dental chair. Unfortunately, people who avoid the dentist often end up in up in a dental office as an emergency patient with the same amount of pain this man was experiencing. The treatment then becomes more complicated and expensive because the problems have become extreme.
My new patient described a terrible childhood experience in his dentist's office when a cavity was filled without enough Novocain. This event kept him away from dentists for thirty years. To help relieve his fear of dentists, I gave him the following five tips to help overcome dental anxiety. Maybe they will help you, too.
1. First, appreciate the central role your mouth plays in every day life. So many of life's pleasures involve the mouth, from eating and drinking, to laughing, talking and kissing. When we have discomfort in our mouths, every aspect of our lives is affected. And then, of course, there is appearance. A person's smile is one of the first things people notice. Embarrassment from unsightly teeth can significantly lower self-confidence.
2. Know how much the dental profession has changed. New inventions have completely revolutionized modern dentistry. Amazing new materials and technologies allow today's dentists to make your teeth look great, last longer, and function better than anyone could have imagined even a decade ago. And, dentists can work miracles on teeth quickly and quietly while the patient is completely comfortable. Some of the high-tech goodies available include: computer controlled Novocain, laser treatments, "air abrasion" to fill cavities without needles or drilling, the intra-oral camera so you can see for yourself how your teeth look, and ceiling TVs to distract you with videos while the dentist works.
3. Find a dentist who will give you the time and attention needed to calm your fears. The staff should add to the supportive atmosphere of the office by knowing your name when you arrive and being happy to see you.
4. Relate your fears to your dentist because verbalizing these concerns is the first step in overcoming them. It also enables the dental team to provide the specific attention you need.
5. Have your dentist clearly explain the procedure he plans to use to solve your dental problem. By understanding what is going to happen, your fears will be diminished. Your dentist will also help you avoid future problems by showing you how easy it is to take good acre of the teeth you have.
I am happy to relate that my new patient, the police officer, is now an old patient and an office favorite. His dental problem was cleared up, and his fear of dentists is finally gone. He comes in regularly to have his teeth cleaned and checked. I fully expect him to celebrate his 90th birthday by flashing a winning smile as he orders steak and corn on the cob for dinner.

In my search for a fun present for Shelley I have been looking at Electronic Drums.
This appears to be manufactured by http://www.medeli.com.hk and branded by several suppliers. The models in the range are the DD501, DD502 and DD505 and the above DD516. Others brands for the same items are, Session Pro, Techtonic, Technote and Medeli.
The various brands of the same kit are all available on ebay.
Edit: Shelley liked them so much we have added better quality individual drums to her set. She likes the Roland drums.
