Deck the Halls with these Holiday Favorites!
This month I am featuring items from holiday stocking stuffers and gifts to events to spend time with family and friends! Plus VERY exciting news with a recent Ford Campaign my teammates and I have been working on.
1. Go Further GV Campaign: First and foremost to those who follow me on social media, I apologize for blowing up the newsfeed with big tree photos and links but this is a must see story that my team and I are so excited to be a part of. For a quick summary of the project view my previous blog post, Sneak Peek of Grand Valley Ford Team. Over the past few weeks we began our social media campaign and have reached over 4,000 views on our YouTube video, countless articles in media publications around West Michigan, tweet recognition from countries such as England and United Kingdom, as well as a huge opportunity to see our video be a part of the official Ford Go Further series. But we need your help. There are only 5 days left in the competition and we want to top 5,000 views. This means you, family, friends, and friends of friends need to share, share, share our video on an media platform possible! Let's grow further to go further.

2. Beaded Silverware: As you may know the past few years I have created beaded silverware and wine glasses for various weddings, gifts, and party favors. So since I will be on the east side this holiday season I would like to inform you I will be taking requests for gifts this holiday season. The featured images featured above are a holiday set I created with a miniature fork and knife with matching plate, and a rosemary cheese ball recipe! On the right are champagne flutes I created for a wedding reception. These items make great holiday gifts for family, Chinese exchange, or for yourself as a house party addition! I would be happy to design upon request. Feel free to contact me if you are interested! Thank you.
3. Mary Poppins: Looking for an evening out with friends? Check out Mary Poppins at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre! My close friend Jon Calkins is a member of the cast and I am ecstatic to see it next week! It's a show that is enjoyable for all ages. It has been a SOLD OUT show for the last few performances so get your tickets fast because the show only runs until December 14!
4. Chocolate Peppermint Coffee: Who doesn't love mint hot chocolate? But what about coffee for that extra little pep in your step? Now, it's the best of both worlds in one! The lovely coffee combination is available at World Market with locations in Grand Rapids, Grandville, and Lansing but have no fear you can order online, simply go to their site and search 'chocolate coffee'. The entire site is filled with great stocking stuffers, unique gifts, and free shipping during the holidays. Thank goodness for online shopping.
5. The Skimm: As a learning PR student, staying up to date on the news is difficult when trying to balance school and sometimes a social life. Now with the Skimm, they do the big reading for you. Everyday morning I wake up to an email from Skimm giving me the quick concise headlines of major news. It allows me to get a quick recap of news and click for more information if needed. They are good conversation starters and allow me to get my news quickly from one source. So, next time you'll have the answer for 'Hey, What's the Skimm?'
I want to thank you all again for continuing to read and share my stories. I wish you all a very merry holiday season and don't forget to take time this month to do something for yourself. YOU are the most important part of your life. Spend it any way you choose. #TisTheSeason
