A hot pick this holiday season for tween and teenage girls is the Style Lab Jewelry Design game by Ubisoft for the Nintendo DS. Testing out this game made me seriously jealous that I wasn't a girl in 2009. I can only imagine how much fun a young girl would have playing this game.

Users design their own jewelry pieces by mixing and matching various beads and charms on the game. They can create a bracelet, necklace or earrings. Use the stylus to drag and drop your choices into your design.

When the results of a study were recently published scientifically demonstrating that women with more glowing skin are universally regarded as prettier, was anybody surprised? Gals like us have known for years that a flawless complexion--plus that little extra attention-grabbing je ne sais quoi that results from flushed, lit-from-within cheeks--is the key to beauty nirvana. You'll look younger, you'll look happier, you'll look more well-rested, and you'll definitely look more beautiful.

The insider's secret to a gorgeous glow? There's one particular blush--beloved by makeup artists, beauty editors, bloggers, and 'real' gals alike--that is talked about, praised, adored and fawned over repeatedly : NARS blush in Orgasm ($25). That's right...Orgasm.

Just in time for the holiday season, designers are rolling out plenty of heels that are like works of art. Visually intriguing, splashed with color or unusual details (and often both), these shoes promise to make dressing for the season's parties easier than ever. Here are a few we're eyeing:

Multi-platinum superstar Nelly is the mastermind behind Apple Bottom jeans, which are created to cater toward trendsetting women of all shapes and sizes. Designed with a woman's natural curve in mind, Apple Bottom jeans accentuate many different silhouettes, including plus size and curvy fits. After all, not every gal happens to be a size 0.

Take it from Nelly himself, who says, "A woman should not try to fit the clothes; the clothes should fit the woman!"

Amen, brother. Check out a few slimming styles we've had our eyes on:

Outdoor cooking doesn't cease just because it starts to get chilly in the northern latitudes; it's still warm in the southern parts of the country. And, in both cool and warm parts, tailgating is just coming into its prime.

You can't hold a decent tailgate party without some freshly grilled goodies. Enter the outdoor cooking stove.

Christmas decorations come in many shapes and forms, but one of my favorites is the ultra festive Santa sack. I was introduced to these a few years ago and have bought personalized Santa sacks for my kids. You buy them once and you will have them forever. Similar to Christmas stockings, Santa sacks are great because they help to keep everyone's goodies organized and it makes it look as if Santa personally delivered the sack through the chimney. My Santa sacks are personalized with my children's names and they love seeing them filled to the brim on Christmas morning.

2009 is coming to a close. How are you going to ring in 2010? Some like to get all dolled up in a holiday dress or sport a handsome tuxedo and head to a New Year's Eve party while others like to keep it a little low key at home.

If you are planning a New Year's Eve party, you don't have to break the bank. Here are some festive party supplies under $20:

I really enjoy the sights of Christmas, particularly the tree ornaments. Nothing sets off a nicely decorated tree like bright Christmas lights.

LED -- light emitting diode -- lights are state of the art lights that have minimum replacement and maintenance requirements, are impact-resistant, and feature very low temperature gain during operation -- cool to the touch. That makes them ideal for Christmas lighting.

After the jump, LED Christmas lights.

Slimmer than your skinniest skinny jeans, leggings bring us into new territory this season. They're a throwback to the 1980s, when many women embraced the stretchy garment as everyday wear and paired it with a loose-fitting top (strategically placed t-shirt clip optional). In this modern age, many '80s-inspired looks have experienced a resurgence, but it's the legging that has really caught on most ubiquitously, thanks to a host of severe, bold updates (think studded, bright and animal-printed styles that flaunted the runways).

To make the most of this versatile piece, it's best to wear them as a complement to the overall outfit, much like you would a pair of tights. Balancing the form-fitting legging with a roomier top is essential; pair them with long, sleek blazers, boyfriend cardigans, tunics and dresses, to name a few. The key is to choose a top that covers your hips and bottom for a flattering top-to-bottom silhouette. Check out a few styles we're eyeing:

Florals are so intimately associated with springtime that they're usually not highly considered during fall and winter. Not necessary, we say, especially given the influx of fun floral prints dominating perfectly cold weather-appropriate attire at the moment.
