Toys for Tots Holiday Fashion Show - Hollywood!
The Toys for Tots Holiday Fashion Show at Tru Hollywood, presented by elite Fashion Academy, Los Angeles and Jane Owen Public Relations, was a huge success! As guests arrived to the event they were greeted by two handsome Marines. The Marines graciously took the new and unwrapped toys that each guest brought for entrance into the show. These toys will be delivered as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community - what a wonderful message of hope the Marines are able to give!
After arriving to Tru Hollywood and giving a toy the guests were ushered downstairs to enjoy cocktails, special music performance my Moi Navarro as seen on NBC's "The Sing Off" and a vibrant fashion show featuring clothing from the lines of Street Saint, Julia Clancy and VSL – worn by Fergie and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
I was honored to MC the event and fashion show, along with my co-host “Anoush LA”, benefiting Toys for Tots because I believe no child should ever have to experience a Christmas without a gift. Style LA TV was also on-site to film the event and in-between my MCing duties I was able to do a few stand-up clips for their show!
Overall the Toys for Tots Fashion show at Tru Hollywood was a hit and I can hardly wait until next year’s event so that once again Los Angeles can give back to the children of their community.
What is your favorite way to give back to your community during the holidays? Tell me on twitter @CortneyBailey

A Very Ghetto Christmas To You!
You may have seen Angela Wood’s gorgeous face on countless national commercials but this Country Music singer and songwriter will capture your heart through her lyrics “Something I Need” and will then have you hooting and hollering to her song “Sex in the Country.” She’s a little bit city, a whole lot of country with a dash of Ghetto. Check out Angela’s web-site at http://www.angelawoodmusic.com/ and buy her latest EP’s from the album “Knock on Wood” on iTunes.

Segway All The Way!
Are you looking for a fun activity to do outdoors that does not involve huffing and puffing? I would recommend you take a Segway tour! This is a leisurely outing that can be done alone, with friends or family. I took the Segway LA tour in Santa Monica, California but many major cities offer this exciting excursion. After you arrive at the Segway tour location of your choice you should receive a training session which lasts about twenty minutes. Once you are comfortable on the Segway you are off on your two-hour journey. Segway LA allows you to stay with your tour guide or go out on your own to explore the boardwalks of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. I started out with the tour group and then ventured out on my own with my friend and we had a blast! If you are nervous about riding on a Segway please don’t be! Trust me, after the first five minutes on the two-wheeled vehicle you will feel like a pro. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes and clothing and if you are riding in the winter, like I did, make sure you wear a coat!

Taylor's Famous Best Friends To Be Auctioned
Elizabeth Taylor may have been married eight times but it was her “best friends” that made the final cut. The late actress’ magnificent collection of diamonds and jewelry, fit for royalty, will be auctioned December 13 – 14 at Christie’s in New York. Taylor’s jewelry collection is slated as one of the richest in the world, valued at $30 million. “I never thought of my jewelry as trophies”, Taylor wrote in her memoir “My Love Affair With Jewelry”, “…When I die and they go off to auction I hope whoever buys them gives them a really good home.”
The above pieces of jewelry are just three of the several pieces that will be auctioned.
Which piece is your favorite…one from above or something different? Tell me on Twitter @CortneyBailey

Two-a-Days Triceps If You Please
Today's at-home exercise, can be accomplished by using fitness bands, will focus on the triceps. The bands that I use can be purchased on-line or at your local sporting store. My favorite brand is SPRI and they come in various colors that serve as the different levels of strength.
There are two different triceps exercises, that I will focus on today, that can be done by using the bands.
Exercise 1:
Stand, with your right foot, on one end of your band. Hold the other end of the band, right under the handle, with your left hand. Wrap the band behind your back. The foot left anchors you. Holding the band straight up in the air, position "A", bend your elbow behind your head, position "B". From position B return to A. Repeat this exercise for one minute then switch to the opposite side. If one minute is too much try 30 seconds on the right side then 30 seconds on the left side.
Exercise 2:
Stand on the band with both feet. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward as if you were going to ski down a mountain. Hold the band's handles in your hands and bend your elbow in an "L" shape so that it can act like a door henge. This is position "A". Straighten your arms backward so that your arms no longer are in the shape of an "L". This is position "B". From position B return to position A. Repeat these positions for one minute.
In no time you will begin to see shapely triceps develop!

Tumi-licious
During a recent trip I arrived at my hotel to unpack my Tumi suitcase only to discover that the zipper had basically unraveled. Yes, I know, how does a zipper unravel? I have no clue but that is exactly what it looked like. Not only was I upset that my extra expensive luggage was ruined but I was only staying at my current hotel one night before I moved on to the next location. For a moment I felt like a damsel in distress, ha! Should I ask the hotel for a large bag? Should I try and find an outlet store and buy a new suitcase? Or maybe I should see if there was a Tumi store in the city! Yes, that is exactly what I did. To my surprise buying an expensive piece of luggage paid off, literally. The sales person told me to bring in my luggage, they would ship if off for repair and give me a loaner! I went to the store and few moments after filling out a few forms I was off with a brand new loaner! Thanks to Tumi I was free to travel carefree. Thank you Tumi!!!

Up, Up & Away!
Purple and pink lights, pretty girls in uniforms, dance music, pop-up TVs and white leather chairs - this all sounds like the make-up of a trendy club right? Well, kind of but the so-called "club" is in the sky! That's right Virgin America is my favorite way to fly. The fleets are clean, the staff has been friendly on every leg I've flown and if you forget your ipod or other source of entertainment fear not the touch-screen TVs offer a large range of music artists to choose from, the latest movies and On Demand TV, etc. If you are seated far from your friends or if you spot that attractive person a few rows back introduce yourself by setting up a chat session. Next time you fly buckle up with Virgin America.

I recently took a trip to "Napa Valley" for a close friend's birthday celebration! Our group had a wonderful time touring the beautiful country side, eating at amazing restaurants and of course wine tasting. This is not my first trip to this Northern California destination however it was my first time to tour Jordan Vineyard and Winery, located in Healdsburg, CA. My family is a huge fan of Jordan so you can imagine my eagerness to take the tour. The experience at the estate was heavenly. The staff treated each guest as if they were entering their own personal home, in fact CEO John Jordan was on-site as well to personally say hello. The wine tastings presentation was carefully paired with a beautiful selection of cheeses and each guest was seated at an elegant dining table so that each could linger and savor the time. All - in -all I highly recommend to add Jordan Vineyard and Winery to your next excursion to Northern California but make sure you make your reservation in advance!
