Happy Monday! Jumping right in on this gloomy day...<br />
<br />
<br />
HOLIDAY<br />
I sure can relate to <a href="http://bit.ly/1ulLD7W">this</a>! The video is interactive, too (click on an item and info appears)!<br />
<br />
Notice any familiar faces <a href="http://bit.ly/1xPohtQ">here</a>? Third Eye Chic Studio did a great job capturing the festive fun at the Boston Blogger event at Wayfair last weekend!<br />
<br />
Make sure your home is winter-ready with <a href="http://bit.ly/1xIdErI">these</a> tips!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
BEAUTY<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/11k54DF" target="_blank">This post</a> accurately outlines certain mascaras that have passed the "cry-baby" test. I'll be needing this net year for wedding season!<br />
<br />
A <a href="http://bit.ly/1xIe5Cu">round-up</a> of some great picks for fall nail polish colors is a great resource for that ever-so-important life decision at the salon.<br />
<br />
<br />
LOCAL<br />
Did you know T. Swift makes house calls? She <a href="http://r29.co/1u1EcPG" target="_blank">stopped</a> by a fan's home in CT (right by my alma mater!) last week to surprise an influenced fan and her family.<br />
<br />
Our city gained a <a href="http://bit.ly/1u1Hti5">new juicery</a> as of today, on School Street downtown.<br />
<br />
Where does Jimmy Fallon <a href="http://bit.ly/1qOYjAG">dine</a> while in Boston? The North End, of course!<br />
<br />
Check out what is sure to be a <a href="http://bit.ly/1A7KcPq">hit gift</a> this year, created by a kid in the Bay state.<br />
<br />
The Rowes Wharf <a href="http://bit.ly/1BJnLSo" target="_blank">skating rink</a> is coming back as of Saturday!<br />
<br />
<br />
MISCELLANY<br />
The inner language geek in me found this interesting, there was a <a href="http://r29.co/1xenVNp">new font</a> created for those with dyslexia, designed to help them read.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I mean, anyone out there with #RBF knows how true <a href="http://bit.ly/14zhdqH" target="_blank">this</a> is!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Into <i>Serial</i>? Well, <a href="http://r29.co/1vkGAYw" target="_blank">here's</a> your new fix.<br />
<br />
I love the fluidity of Vogue's witty questionnaire. The latest is with <a href="http://bit.ly/1ycXUfH" target="_blank">Amy Adams</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
SELF<br />
An interesting read (and preview for a post to follow later this week!) on <a href="http://theatln.tc/1ERwRZr">why millenials aren't saving money</a>.<br />
<br />
Are you an introvert? <a href="http://bit.ly/1zwcy2D"><span id="goog_1912138789"></span>Here<span id="goog_1912138790"></span></a> are some great tips on networking.<br />
<br />
Okay, you're an adult, right? Now, be sure your fridge <a href="http://r29.co/1ulMN3s">organization</a> reflects such!<br />
<br />
<br />
SHOPPING<br />
I've bookmarked <a href="http://r29.co/1uyxBBH" target="_blank">this</a>, and you should, too! Refinery29 will be updating the page up through next week for Black Friday sales.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We hope you have a great week! Be sure to check in every day, we have a big surprise in store!!<br />

Traditional deodorants are full of chemicals. And sure, these chemicals prevent sweat and keep your underarms smelling fresh for a full day, but did you know these deodorants also:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Have aluminum, which has been loosely <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-antiperspants-do-more-than-block-sweat/" target="_blank">linked to Alzheimer's. </a></li>
<li>Have parabens which which has been <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3383393.stm" target="_blank">found in breast cancer</a> growths.</li>
<li>Have artificial fragrances which contain allergens, and unknown chemicals as part of an <a href="http://wellandgood.com/2010/08/10/ingredient-intelligence-what-you-need-to-know-about-fragrance-inskin-care/" target="_blank">FDA loophole</a>.</li>
<li>Stains your clothes - your natural sweat does not cause pit stains - <a href="http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/men/sweating-odor/antiperspirant-stain-clothes.htm" target="_blank">deodorant does</a>!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Why are we rubbing this poison on our skin everyday when there are so many great, chemical free options?! These four have been tested and approved by the JUGs. For newbies, we highly recommend Lavilin and Soapwalla because they last the longest. Other brands are effective, but require more frequent applications.</div>

For those of you who have read blogs since the late 2000s, you know the veterans out there. Monika Hibbs of Vancouver is one of those trailblazers many bloggers have followed since discovery. She has a curated sense of style you just drool over, and it's easy to enjoy watching her picturesque adventures, most recently a trip to <a href="http://bit.ly/1oJgCvj" target="_blank">Vegas</a> with her husband. Her tasteful home decor DIYs and recommendations are my personal favorite piece of her strong brand. I could definitely stare at her <a href="http://bit.ly/1B5LhJ1" target="_blank">home tour</a> all the livelong day! <br />
<br />
It is not surprising she has been all over the <a href="http://bit.ly/11gnAxC" target="_blank">press</a> from Boston-local Style Me Pretty to HGTV to Glitter Guide, just to name a few. Don't forget about <a href="http://bit.ly/17qoSb2" target="_blank">Monika's shop</a>, too, which we hope is replenishing soon before we start rolling out our gift guides in the coming weeks, it's definitely one of my go-to resources. If Monika is what Vancouver is about, we better get there sooner than later!<br />

It's no secret that the JUGs love a good time, so when we had the opportunity to tour the <a href="http://www.budweisertours.com/z01/index.php/merrimack/overview/" target="_blank">Anheuser Busch Brewery</a> in Merrimack, NH we jumped on it. We were actually surprised to realize how close the brewery actually is to Boston - took us less than an hour to get up there, giving us plenty of time for beer tasting! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've seen a few breweries in our day - Harpoon, Sam Adams, and a few others, but we were awed by the sheer scale of the budweiser facility in NH. They make enough beer on site each day to provide 10+ beers to every seat in Fenway - and this is the smallest Anheuser-Busch brewery in the country! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next time you have a free weekend, or have visitors in town, we highly recommend heading up to the brewery. It is the perfect cold-weather activity.</div>

Am I the only one who's wardrobe goes solely gray and black in the winter? I can't help it, it just happens! But these are some staple pieces (as well as accessories) that I am totally dying over right now. Though they are black and gray I think they are pretty badass and cool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Dying for this <a href="http://bit.ly/1ooJlFD" target="_blank">J.Crew coat</a> but they are sold out of my size. Cross your fingers for a re-stock!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <a href="http://bit.ly/10Z7VTp" target="_blank">This shirt</a> is a must. Must I tell you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I have yet to attempt the cape trend but this <a href="http://bit.ly/1y9RGgr" target="_blank">Zara cape</a> seems like a good place to start.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I am so onboard with the resurgence of <a href="http://bit.ly/1vPID1N" target="_blank">Doc Martens</a>. And they seem like pretty good winter boots, no?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Dying to read <i><a href="http://amzn.to/1xkrzmE" target="_blank">Thrive</a></i>, by Arianna Huffington. Have you read it yet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I think these will be my <a href="http://bit.ly/1tMFZNn" target="_blank">earrings</a> for 2015. I love a simple shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. I am obsessed with Linda Rodin so I am dying to try her new product line, <a href="http://bit.ly/1vPJwHw" target="_blank">Rodin Skin Care</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. You gotta add a little pop if you're wearing all black and grey! Start with this <a href="http://bit.ly/1vPHze3" target="_blank">RMS Lip2Cheek</a> number in Beloved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What are you currently obsessing over? </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Oil pulling, charcoal teeth brushing, juicing - there have been countless beauty trends over the past couple years - all a little strange, but many effective. Our latest tested-and-approved beauty trend is dry brushing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I first heard of dry brushing from <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/2014/05/whos-that-gal-team-j-and-a.html" target="_blank">Jody and Ashley</a> as a way to continue the journey to good health after completing the 14 Day <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/2014/09/whole-food-detox-check-in.html" target="_blank">Whole Food Detox</a>. And, after spotting a selection of dry brushes at <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/2014/03/whos-that-gal-tara-holly-of-follain.html" target="_blank">Follain</a>, I decided to buy one and try body brushing for myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>WHY BRUSH: </b>Dry brushing daily before each shower promises to exfoliate, draw toxins out from the skin, activate the lymphatic system, smooth rough spots (elbows), and even help slightly decrease cellulite. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>COST: </b><a href="http://shopfollain.com/collections/body-tools-accessories" target="_blank">Sustainably-made sisal brush</a> from Follain: $10. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>ACTUAL RESULTS: </b>Starting out, I was nervous about over-exfoliating and irritating my sensitive skin, but so far, no problems. In fact, rather than being itchy or awkward, dry brushing is really soothing and comforting - like a quick mini-massage. As far as the other claims, let's go through them one by one. Does dry brushing...<br />
<i>Exfoliate? </i>Yes.<br />
<i>Detox & activate lymphatic system?</i> Hard to tell, but I feel great.<br />
<i>Smooth skin?</i> Yes.<br />
<i>Decrease cellulite? </i>No results in this arena yet, but I've only been brushing for about a month, and I hope to start seeing results in a matter of 6 months or so (before next bikini season)!<br />
<i>Bottom Line: </i>Dry brushing takes less than 5 minutes per day and the results are well-worth the time. Plus it feels great!</div>

1. Rate the book A - F.<br />
<br />
2. Many comparisons have been made between this book and <i>Great Expectations </i>and other Dickens books - do you see the similarities? Are they significant?<br />
<br />
3. For most of the book, Theo is 13-15. Does that seem right? Does he seem wise beyond his years? Immature?<br />
<br />
4. Does the book seem to accurately depict the feeling of loss? People's reaction to Theo's loss?<br />
<br />
5. Theo meets many personalities throughout his young adulthood. Which do you like best?<br />
<br />
6. What advice would you give to Theo if you met him after his mother passed?<br />
<br />
7. Are there any good influences on Theo's life? What impact do they make?<br />
<br />
8. Why do you think such a sad story has become such a popular novel?<br />
<br />
9. Would you see a movie based on this book? Who would you pick to play each character?<br />

We lost a great one yesterday. Former Mayor Thomas Menino was our city's longest-serving leader, from 1993-2013. He epitomized strength long before the Boston Strong movement. Likely the Mayor that we JUGs will remember most since we all grew up in the area, he truly made a huge impact on the lives of most Bostonians. He has passed on as a legend and we send only happy memories and support to his family. We are glad he is no longer in pain and will continue to smile thinking of him and seeing his name sprinkled throughout the city, a visionary that changed Boston for the better.<br />

Yesterday a friend of mine Instagramed a picture of her new home office with the most gorgeous bright blue walls...and now I'm totally jealous! I can't get this vibrant color off my mind! It feels so cozy and adds such a dynamic pop to a room, don't you think? </div>

Did you just say you've never heard of <a href="http://thekindlife.com/" target="_blank">The Kind Life</a>?! AS IF!<br />
<br />
The Kind Life has been actress Alicia Silverstone's healthy living dairy for the past few years and even resulted two books - The Kind Diet and The Kind Mama. Alicia combines conscious, healthy living with environmental sustainability and animal rights to create a blog about how to do everything without hurting anyone or anything else. Though the overall blog is not political, she still manages to tackle the tough issues like fracking, climate change, and animal slaughter for leather production (seriously, did you know that many soccer cleats around the world are made of <a href="http://thekindlife.com/blog/2014/05/action-alert-nike-kangaroo-leather/" target="_blank">kangaroo leather</a>? yikes). Alicia also rounds up some great <a href="http://thekindlife.com/blog/category/delicious/" target="_blank">vegan recipes</a> like <a href="http://thekindlife.com/blog/2013/03/vegan-shepard-pie/" target="_blank">vegan shepard's pie</a> and <a href="http://thekindlife.com/blog/2014/10/thug-kitchen-sweet-potato-squash-black-bean-enchiladas/" target="_blank">sweet potato black bean enchiladas</a>. I definitely want to get a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Kind-Diet-Simple-Feeling/dp/1609611357" target="_blank">The Kind Diet</a> ....adding it to the Christmas wishlist ASAP - it is a perfect follow up to the <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/2014/09/whole-food-detox-check-in.html" target="_blank">J+A Whole Food Detox </a>I completed in September.<br />

So I've only seen three of the five aired episodes to date, but I'm already prepared to say that I am a huge fan of CNN's new show, <i><a href="http://cnn.it/1rPBdtX" target="_blank">This Is Life</a></i>. Renowned reporter Lisa Ling (who, fun fact, delivered my college commencement address!) produces and hosts the investigatory program that focuses on various life choices, often questionable and unusual, within sub-cultures of the US. Her journalism is raw, with an early episode diving into the serious stuff right away, painkiller addiction within affluent Mormon communities in Utah. Needless to say, the topics are incredibly real and moving. I'll leave everything to your own interpretations, but there is no doubt that this show will open up your mind and awareness to the candor shown. I find <i>This Is Life</i> a great outlet to expand horizons and to learn! New episodes air on CNN Sunday nights at 10pm, with past episodes available on demand.<div>

On Monday, a fabulous group of bloggers, friends, and entrepreneurs gathered at <a href="http://www.shakethetreeboston.com/" target="_blank">Shake the Tree</a> in Boston's North End to celebrate a night out hosted by your's truly! We had an absolute blast shopping at our favorite clothing, jewelry, and decor boutique while sipping on sangria and munching on arancini from <a href="http://www.bacconorthend.com/" target="_blank">Bacco</a>, quesadillas from <a href="http://www.urbancantinaboston.com/" target="_blank">Urban Cantina</a>, wraps from <a href="http://www.goingbananasboston.com/" target="_blank">Going Bananas</a>, and sweets from <a href="http://breadbutterboston.com/" target="_blank">Bread + Butter</a> (yeah, we definitely exceeded our calorie goal for the day, sorry <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-of-pact-app.html" target="_blank">PactApp</a>)! And we know that shopping can be stressful sometimes (hmmm should I get two of these cute stackable rings, or three?!?!?!?!!!)...luckily, <a href="https://boston.exhalespa.com/boston-battery-wharf" target="_blank">Exhale</a> was there to provide back massages and mini reflexology sessions.<br />
<br />
It was a full house, and it was great to see some of our fellow Boston Bloggers in the mix, including <a href="http://www.anniewhite.ca/" target="_blank">Annie White</a>, <a href="http://thebostondaybook.com/" target="_blank">Boston Day Book</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/DJDiG" target="_blank">Danielle Kempe</a>, <a href="http://dearfriendblog.com/" target="_blank">Dear Friend</a>, <a href="http://www.elizabethcraneswartz.com/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Swartz</a>, <a href="http://www.faithtowersdesign.com/" target="_blank">Faith Towers Design</a>, <a href="http://www.feathersandstripes.com/" target="_blank">Feathers and Stripes</a>,<a href="http://fenwayfashionista.com/" target="_blank"> Fenway Fashionista</a>, <a href="http://lifestyleofafashionista.com/" target="_blank">Lifestyle of a Fashionista</a>, <a href="http://notesonlifestylebygeorgina.com/" target="_blank">Notes on Lifestyle by Georgina</a>, <a href="http://www.primandpropah.com/" target="_blank">Prim & Propah</a>, <a href="http://rentwhich.com/" target="_blank">Rentwhich</a>, and I am probably missing a bunch more (please let me know in the comments)!<br />

Nashville gal Mary Seng of <i><a href="http://bit.ly/1t4uyk1" target="_blank">Happily Grey</a></i> is one who exhibits a natural ease. Her style is simple and she is seriously a pro with showing an idyllic juxtaposition of high and low items into one photo shoot-worthy look, ironically, full of color! Mary has grown her brand to new levels in such a short amount of time! She can rock a cape, a tomboy baseball hat and the highest of heels like no other. <i><a href="http://bit.ly/1t4uyk1" target="_blank">Happily Gray</a></i> is sure to be the next blog you bookmark as your daily read!<br />

Looking to dress to kill-it with the boys? Sandy is always a trusty costume for those not looking to break the bank. Bust out your pleather leggings, some heels, a cute black top and red lipstick and you're done! Acceptable costume attempt for the lazy gal, and totally hot. </div>

Need to dress up but show zero skin and play it super safe? Rosie the Riveter is a great option and basically just requires you to make a Canadian tuxedo look a little bit more girly. This outfit is a favorite of mine for any corporate party where the last you want to do is look inappropriate or like you don't know how to have fun.</div>

And lastly there's Katie, the hot girl from <i>Wet Hot American Summer</i>. This costume shows off your humor and taste in movies, all while contributing minimal effort and zero dollars. If you don't want to be Katie but have some other camp-y uniform ideas, really anyone from this movie's cast will be a hit at the party. </div>
