Twelve Days of Christmas gift-away: Day 10 & For the boys

Something nice for the boys from Soap & Paper Factory and Patch NYC.When I first started publically doling out beauty advice and sharing my musings on fashion, I just began posting about what I know. I am a girl, so I know about things for women. I never gave a second thought about writing about things for men.Well, I have just as many male friends as I have girl friends and shortly after I began broadcasting my knowledge, a number of them begin reaching out to me, and asking me about why I wasn’t covering topics for them.This wasn’t really news; I’ve worked in fashion and beauty professionally for years. Many of my friends, male and female alike, have often turned to me to ask for referrals for hair stylists, or questions about skincare, and to pick my brain for wardrobe ideas.However, this was the first time anyone had suggested that I make myself a resource to any guy who is searching for hair ideas, skincare advice, or style.Thank you, Boys, for trusting me to help you. (And thinking that other men want to hear what I have to say too.) I’m super flattered ;).Ask and you shall receive. Pass my Examiner Gift Guide for Men along to your girlfriends, wives, female family members or best gal pals, and enter my giveaways!(And if you are girl, you can still enter and keep it for yourself or surprise your favorite guy/ male family member/gay bff with it.)For the Boys I have two giveaways:First item is a fantastic candle and solid fragrance from the Soap & Paper Factory X Patch NYC collaboration. I have to say, I wouldn't mind having a few of these around my house. I love the vintage-chic look of the motifs on the glass containers.Such amazing character!Second item for grabs is this sporty Men’s Canvas Strap Military courtesy of Avon. That’s right… AVON. They’ve really kicked it up a notch over there. I’m really loving many of their fashion accessories these days, in fact, I’d probably rock this watch myself, if I wasn’t handing it over to you…Rafflecopters are below, enter one, or enter both, then scroll around and find the 9 other days of giveaways! a Rafflecopter giveaway
