Baby It's Cold Outside: Holiday Tunes are in Full Force!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays (see song seven). Yep, NSYNC and Beibs are ushering in the chilly season quite well, but if you're not up for the boy band classics, we haven't forgotten about you. Tidbits from the Folk Angel album reflect wonderful renditions of Christmas favorites, not to mention, we included one of Lil' John's beloved carols (hint: number 6).

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listening?

Happy Thanksgiving! Can you believe Christmas carols are in full force after tomorrow? We thought we would ween you onto the holiday classics with a half and half playlist. We stole part of our music girl, Lauren Hall's, new iTunes jams, threw in a twangy top hit (think Miranda Lambert), oh and the best part…are you ready for it?? Justin Beiber Christmas!!! You're welcome.Photo

T Swift made this week's musical entourage…twice. And have you heard of Florence + The Machine? If the answer is no, press play. I predict a new playlist fave. P.S. One tune on this master list honors the newest (umm..can I call it a flick?) and the Country Artist of the Year. Can you guess what it is?

The Art of Tipping: Some Helpful Guidelines!

Giuliana Rancic from E! just came out with a handy dandy Tips for Tipping list on FabFitFun, and we couldn't help but share the wealth of knowledge. Rumors are always flying about how much to tip your fabulous hairdresser or what to leave the food guy who delivered a scrumptious meal to your door. Part of the problem: there are so many variables. The situation is almost never the same. But, if you abide by these guidelines and add a little common sense, you will be well on your way to being tipper savvy. Server: Gone are the days when 15% was standard. 18%-20% is now the norm, even more for exceptional service. Yes, you can leave less for terrible service, but remember that people have bad days and that a tip is actually part of the server’s salary.Bartender: $1-$2 per drink or 15%-20% of the tab. If you order a beer, it’s OK to stay on the lower end. If your bartender is mashing mint for your mojito, tip more.Food Delivery Service: Whether it’s pizza or a fancy night in, the delivery service guy deserves a good tip for braving the streets…not to mention the rain and snow that makes takeout so perfect. Think 10%-15% of the bill and no lower than $2.Food Pickup: 10% is a fair amount for those who pack up your dinner.Hairdresser: 15%-20% of the total is the standard. Yes, this can get expensive if you’re getting a cut, highlights, and a keratin treatment, but that’s the price we pay for beauty. If you have a separate hair washer, make sure to slip them $2-$3 as well.Manicurist: Again, think 15%-20%. If you have separate mani and pedi people, you should split the tip and give half to each person. And remember, cash is key. Many nail salons won’t let you tip on your card.Massage/Facial/Waxing: No surprise here — 15%-20% is the norm.Taxi Driver: 15% of the fare with a $1 minimum. Plus, if he loads your bags, add $2 for the first and $1 for each additional piece of luggage.Thanks Giuliana and FabFitFun!Photo
