Always Hit on the Wingman...and 9 Other Secret Rules for Getting the Love Life You Want

One of the perks of being a Glambassador is surprisingly getting a new product in the mail to review and promote. These unexpected gifts always brighten up my day! Well last week I received Glamour's new dating advice book, Always Hit on the Wingman...and 9 Other Secret Rules for Getting the Love Life You Want, written by Jake, Glamour's male dating columnist.

I have to admit, I'm a sporadic reader since I never seem to have enough time. Seems like the best time for me to get a good read in is on the beach, at the pool or when I'm just home, sick with a cold like I am now.

I've only read two chapters so far, but it's a great book to read from a male perspective, especially if you are a single woman constantly confused by men. The book includes great tips, collective wisdom and ten rules to help you get the love life you deserve. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn:

- You've got to broadcast your personality. If you're a nerd, let your nerd flag fly.

- The best men don't send expensive flowers.

- For great sex, save a few tricks for (much) later on.

- Keep dating other people longer than you think you should.

The book just launched this week so add it to your book list! Get your copy here!

Social Exposure Media's Winter Glamour Party Sponsored by Kansas Clean Distilled Whiskey

On Wednesday, January 25th, I attended the Winter Glamour Party at the J Sisters Salon inside the Limelight Market Place at 656 6th Avenue. I had only been to the event space once when it was Avalon, and before that I hadn't been there since my Limelight clubbing days years ago so it was interesting be back.

The party included a whiskey tasting sponsored by Kansas Clean Distilled Whiskey, glam inspired cocktails and candy bar by Hpnotiq Harmonie and expresso vanilla martinis made with Real Beanz Coffee and Voli Vodka. See below for some more highlights from the party.

M&M'S® Chocolate Candies for All Occasions

When I attended the M&M'S® Chocolate Candies Open House, I was introduced to M&M'S® entire assortment, including the new M&M'S® Brand Snack Mix, available in three varieties: M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies with mini chocolate chip cookies, peanuts, mini pretzel twists, M&M'S® Dark Chocolate Candies mixed with raisins, almonds and mini pretzels and M&M'S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies mixed with mini shortbread cookies, almonds and mini pretzel twists. I just love salty & sweet snacks!

My newest obsession though are M&M'S® Coconut Chocolate Candies! I can't believe I have never tried these before! I do have yet to try M&M'S® Almond Chocolate Candies, too.

Aside from what you'll find in stores, you can also customize M&M'S for any occasion on their website, with a special message or choosing certain colors. You can learn all about M&M'S at mms.com.

Here's a look at what I checked out during the M&M'S® Chocolate Candies Open House:

Learning about cocoa production - 80% of cocoa is grown in the Ivory Coast, specifically in Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon.

Entertaining is delectable and simple when M&M'S® are added to the recipe. Next time you decide to make some treats try adding M&M's to mini cannolis, marbled biscotti, caramel popcorn, chocolate caramel apples, triple chocolate petit fours, mini cupcakes and popcorn brittle. You can even shave some DOVE® Milk Chocolate into hot chocolate or Chocotini, adding a little sweetness to your drink!

M&M'S® make for colorful, edible decor at a dinner party or event, by placing them in glass canisters. You can celebrate the Superbowl with blue and white M&M'S® or celebrate Valentine's Day with red and white ones.

Party Like a Rock Star: A Celebrity Party Planner's Tips and Tricks for Throwing an Unforgettable Bash by Jes Gordon and Jessica Baumgardner features inventive ways to plan a party. The book even includes a tip or two on using M&M'S®!
