SheSpark HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Holiday Greetings from Audrey & Thea! Some of you may already know us as the co-hosts of #Over40Chat on Twitter. We started the monthly Twitter party knowing that we wanted to meet like-minded women who wanted straight talk about style, beauty and wellness issues. We made some great friends as a result. We also found that small businesses have a lot of valuable information to share and products that solved our most stubborn (and sometimes embarrassing) problems. Creating the SheSpark Holiday Gift Guide is the next step in connecting women with the experts, products and services that you won’t find in traditional media. We love these brands, writers and artisans because they each represent our values in one way or another. Throughout our pages you’ll see words like Organic Cruelty-free Made in the USA Socially Responsible Employment Practices Fair Trade Recyclable Environmentally friendly Pay It Forward That’s because we know that buying a product can make us look good, but we want to feel good buying it. We hope you like the featured blog posts and products as much as we do! Please support these rising stars through word of mouth and sharing the SheSpark Holiday Gift Guide with friends and family. Have a sparkling holiday season! World Peace, Audrey & Thea @CremesComeTrue @Over40Style

KEEP MAKEUP PRIME AT PARTY TIME By Audrey Stefanik, CremesComeTrue.com During the holiday season, I typically drink more...than usual. At parties and gatherings, I like to have a cup of cheer. And I rarely stop at one cup. At some point in the evening, you know I want to touch up my makeup. Over the years, I've learned something about myself: The more drinks I've had, the more makeup I apply. My judgement is impaired. I start to think crazy things like, "You know what I need? Three more coats of mascara! And some more blush, too. I'm gonna look awesome!” READ

THE 21-DAY GRATITUDE CHALLENGE By Kimberly Montgomery I’ve seen tons of chatter this season about coping with the holidays. Tough times at family get togethers. Office parties that go bad. (who ever thought putting their butt on a photo copy machine was a good idea?) Shopping pressure, long lines and money worries from over spending. All the extra work the holidays bring, on top of everything else we have piled on us. It can be a lot. READ MORE
