Philippines wins Miss Universe title after Mix- Up

 After last night's Miss Universe competition, a competitor from the Philippines is this year's winner for the contested Miss Universe title, but for a moment, it looked like Colombia may have won the title, again. Colombia's Ariadna Arevalo was mistakenly given the crown, before host Steve Harvey apologized and awarded it to the actual winner, Pia Wurtzbach. This is the third time a female from the Philippines has received the crown. Women from 80 countries were represented in this year's competition.

I watched this story play out on the news and it's just painful to watch. The looks on Miss Columbia, Miss Philippines and Steve Harvey just leave you feeling for them. Miss Columbia, who is obviously a very classy lady, said it best, "Everything happens for a reason."

Totally Ripped: Jason Walsh Transforms John Krasinski

John Krasinski looks almost unrecognizable as he gears up to play a Navy SEAL in his new movie, "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi." Trainer and Rise Nation founder, Jason Walsh transformed "The Office," star with two-a-day workout five times a week focusing on burning fat while gaining muscle. 

A long time supporter of Jason Walsh, John Krasinski among a handful of other noteworthy stars attended the launch of Rise Nation in August including Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Eli Roth, Hilary Duff, Minka Kelly and more. The Los Angeles fitness hotspot features a 30 minute workout done exclusively on a VersaClimber machine and burns upwards of 600 to 800 calories a session. 

Jason loves the VersaClimber because it is virtually impossible to coast on. Meaning every moment of the workout engages your core, speeds up your heart rate and strengthens your muscles. Climbing on the VersaClimber mimics the motions of a crawl which aligns your body and reaffirms good posture and is zero impact. Unlike similar intense workouts, you can train at Rise Nation everyday because it's full body and you won't get hurt. 

Fans of Rise Nation include; Bradely Cooper, Ashlee Greene, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Ina Shayk, Ashley Tisdale and more.

On Saturday, December 12, 2015, The Frye Company at Ponce City Market helped shoppers celebrate the spirit of the season during a rockin’ holiday caroling event with The Whiskey Gentry.  The free, pop-up show starring one of Atlanta’s catchiest bands featured a high-energy, live acoustic show outside the store. Hundreds of shoppers enjoyed The Whiskey Gentry’s toe-tapping spin on favorite holiday tunes while Farm to Ladle at Ponce City Market passed out their coveted homemade chocolate chip cookies and Heath Bar cookies. Guests were also treated to Wild Heaven Craft Beers and sipped on gourmet hot chocolate and Apple Cider Hot Toddies featuring Decatur’s own Copper Pot Distilled Hellbender Bourbon Whiskey. Adaptation Floral Design was also on hand making beautiful holiday wreaths for shoppers that made a purchase from The Frye Company’s Holiday Collection.

I was doing a little bit of Christmas shopping and walked outside to the Ponce City Market courtyard to find a massive crowd gathering around The Frye Company. I meant to stay a "minute"... two hot toddies later... tempted by the Adaptation Floral wreaths and Farm to Ladle cookies exiting The Frye Company, I was tempted to enter. The crowd was almost as massive inside as it was outside. Wow, it was clear that the holiday season had arrived! Lots of good "boys and girls" will be sporting leather shoes and boots this year. AND from the looks of it, the Frye customer is a smart one because I witnessed many trying on Frye's for themselves. Of course!

Get your Frye on Atlanta at Ponce City Market! Happy Holidays!!

Last-minute Holiday Decorating Secrets

Designer & TV Personality Libby Langdon's Last-minute Holiday Decorating Secrets: Fast & Festive  

"December already?!  Suddenly it's the busiest time of the year and you are out of time but still want a home that feels festive and special for the holidays.  These are a few of my favorite last-minute design fixes to bring warm and welcoming holiday style to your home this season." Libby

Libby Langdon, designer, author and television personality known for her stylish and inviting design expertise shares last-minute holiday decor secrets from her clients'  and own home. 

The Holiday's are so busy and jam packed with things to do, so when it comes to flowers I like to keep it easy and elegant. 

Rather than trying to maintain real flowers throughout the season, display red silk Amaryllis (I got mine from Ikea!) in tall glass cylinders. Use miniature pinecones or moss at the base to camouflage the stalks. Wrap each vase with all sorts of ribbon combinations... from burlap to grosgrain!

An inexpensive, simple and stylish accent that creates height on consoles, buffet tables and wherever you need a cheerful, chic kick of color!

For the fastest, most fabulous holiday decor, simply fill your favorite vessels with ornaments!  Even bargain drugstore ornaments look special and sparkly when displayed together.  For extra impact, use several like material containers in one area featuring ornaments in a single color theme.  Multiple clear glass hurricanes and vases shining with all white ornaments or several shiny bowls brimming with various shades and sizes of green Christmas balls look elegant and modern...in minutes!  

A fun and fast holiday design fix are seasonal throw pillows.  There are so many fun styles and patterns that will work with each color scheme in your home, which gives you the chance to change up your regular day-to-day pillows with a cheerful message you wouldn't use throughout the rest of the year!  Stock up at the end of the season when they are on sale! 

Snake faux or real garland greenery down the center of your table for an instant, unexpected runner!  There are so many affordable options that already have berries and pinecones attached...no assembly required!  Or use greenery trimmed from your Christmas tree or yard and add in shiny ornaments, pinecones, candleholders, holly berries and ribbon and you've created a stunning tablescape design that you can leave out in between meals for everyday style throughout the season!

Spray paint is Christmas in a can!  For less than five dollars you can bring holiday shine to items you collect in your yard!  Give leaves and pinecones a coat of metallic color and incorporate them into your tabletop, railing and mantlepiece decor and floral displays. For a gorgeous garland embellishment, alternate sprayed and natural magnolia leaves in a rosette, add ribbon to the center and attach at the back with florist wire and attach to garlands.  Spray magnolia leaves or larger shrub leaves gold and tuck around varied height votives and hurricanes along with gold spray painted pinecones and arrange on a mantle, console or buffet table.  Attach a gold spray painted leaf to a name tag with ribbon for a holiday dinner place card.  Let your imagination run wild -- silver and gold make your season stylish and bright!
