“Live every day like it’s your last” is one of the rules I try to adopt in my life. This includes being adventurous, taking risks, and living without regrets. I often apply this to travel. This travel bug I currently have has me searching flight deals at least once a day, whether it’s for a last-minute adventure or planning a winter getaway for my birthday. Speaking of my birthday, it’s December 27th, in case you wanted to book my next trip.

When I first started blogging it was a simple hobby that, unbeknownst to me, would soon become a full fledge business. During the inception of xojohn.com in 2009, people’s perception of bloggers were very low and I recall hearing naysayers saying things like, “Bloggers sit at home in their parents’ basement and talk crap about people.” Or “They don’t have a real job!” Blogging today has become a major part of how you, the readers, get your news. All of the major print publications have blogs now, although some like to shy away from the word, but let’s face it. It’s a blog.

5 Tips for Treating Dry Skin in the Winter

by xoJohn

With the lower temperatures and drier air comes dry, chapped skin. Biting winds, steamy showers, dipping temps, and indoor heat are just a few seasonal hazards that can cause skin to go haywire. Not only is dealing with dry skin uncomfortable, but it can even cause breakouts.

“Dehydrated skin cells turn over more slowly, causing a buildup of dead skin, which can clog pores and lead to acne flare ups.” says top NYC Dermatologist and Founder of Schweiger Dermatology, Eric Schweiger, MD.

Yes Way Rosé’s Thanksgiving Tips

  • In addition to the delicious dry taste, we drink rosé year round because we love how it can elevate the most casual occasion, like the way the perfect handbag can turn jeans and a white t-shirt into a pulled-together outfit. Pop open a bottle of rosé champagne this fall when you’re having friends over for a dinner party, ordering take out, or even watching football and instantly make any moment worth celebrating.
  • Dry rosé champagne is especially good for Thanksgiving dinner because it pairs well with a wide variety of foods. We recommend serving Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte’s Brut Rosé with the classics. The dark www.cheapativanpriceonline.com/ fruit flavors like raspberries and blackberries make it the perfect match for turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, butternut squash soup, roasted brussels sprouts, or any of your mother’s signature side dishes.
  • Use the beautiful color of Rosé as inspiration for table décor. Pale pink roses and dahlias both make gorgeous accents to autumnal flower arrangements.
  • For a fun pre-dinner treat, welcome guests with an adorable, mini One Fo(u)r bottle of the Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rosé. This year we’ll be serving them on a tray with straws. The minis can also be used as place cards (simply write your guests names on the bottles) or gifted to your guests so they can take home.
  • Substitute traditional champagne flutes this Thanksgiving for stemless wine glasses like they do in France. It will give your table a fresh, modern look and as a bonus, they are less likely to get knocked over while passing food around the table.
  • After you’ve finished dinner, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte’s D’Luscious, a demi-sec rosé, is a delightful beverage to serve alongside desserts. Fresh berry notes and a delicately sweet finish make it a great pairing for salted caramel pie, lemon bars and spiced chocolate mousse.

Let us know how you plan to incorporate these tips into your Thanksgiving plans. Always remember to drink responsibly.

I’ve been a nerd my entire life. Not so much the math science or history type but more of a pop culture enthusiast. Despite my self-proclaimed nerd status this was my very fist year attending New York Comic Con. Just as fashionistas must eventually find their way to fashion week, every nerd must someday venture to the amazing spectacle that is Comic Con. Not just for comic book fans, the event encompasses all things pop culture with exhibits that range from cosplay makeup to original artwork. As a noob to the scene, my first venture into the convention was a true learning experience. I’ll break it down into five simple rules:

With 2014 being hours away, many of us are reflecting on the past year and resolving to make positive changes. The majority of us hit the ground running at the turn of a new year, but unfortunately burn out in just a few months or even weeks. CouponCabin.com reports that 80% of those who join a gym quit within the first five months. To make matters worse, according to Statisticbrain.com, 67% of people with gym memberships never use them at all!

When a hot date is looming, there is nothing more depressing than a face full of spots looking back at you in the mirror. Great looks start with great skin, so finding a way to brighten the complexion and to fight off spots is something we’d all like to do. Wouldn’t we?

So, what’s the latest news on keeping skin scrumptiously soft and smooth to the touch? It’s vitamins. Yes, vitamins! So simple, and oh so easy. Buying some at the Canadian Internet Pharmacy can get you ahead of everyone else in the race for healthy skin supremacy.
