28on27 New Years Competition!

December 18th 2012 On January 1st, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season comes to a close. .. Extended shopping hours end, family members go home, and you can finally listen to the radio in peace, knowing that for at least another 11 months, you won’t have to hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” one more time. But with each New Year comes a new start. And here at 28on27, we want to help. On January 3rd we’re holding a New Year’s resolution competition! Send us a picture of you and your resolution via twitter (@28on27), facebook, or e-mail and the best entry will win $100 worth of 28on27 “funny” money to apply to keeping that resolution! (new kicks anyone?) Here’s a list of our top 10 resolutions to help inspire you: 1). Gain Weight.. (hello juan) 2). Get organized and keep the house clean 3). Spend less, save more 4). Take more walks on the beach 5). Stop watching Housewives 6). Learn something exciting 7). Quit smoking 8). Join the Gym 9). Find Love 10). Spend more time with family Whatever your New Year’s resolution is, we want to hear about it. For example, what better way to conquer your fear of claustrophobia than taking a trip to Mexico’s Cave of Swallows for a base jumping lesson? Or what about traveling to Russia to find the biological parents you’ve never met?  Or what if you just want to fall in love, even if it means attending Saturday Night Speed Dating until you find “The One?” The more creative, heart-felt, or funny the resolution, the better! Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. -Oprah Winfrey 28on27 is looking forward to reading your 2013 New Year’s resolutions. We wish you a fun, happy, and safe New Year!

28on27's Perfect Gifting Cookies!

December 6th 2012

During the holidays, most people stress about gift giving...... Shopping for immediate family members is hard enough, but when you throw in the added pressure of buying a gift for your daughter’s dance teacher, the next door neighbors, and the only barista within 25 miles who can make your perfect cup of coffee, things can get intense. It can also get expensive. Here at 28on27, we believe that cookies solve this problem. Nothing says “I appreciate you” more than soft little balls of sugar, chocolate, and flour. Cookies are inexpensive, delicious (hopefully), and they show the receiver that you care enough about them to sweat and slave in the kitchen all day. For the “cookie gift” to work, however, they must be homemade. Not giving a gift is better than handing over a box of Oreos. Place the homemade cookies on a festive paper plate, wrap the plate in cellophane, and deck it with a bow and personalized gift tag. Wrapping the cookies will not only make the cookies look prettier, but it’ll contain any crumbs, sprinkles, or frosting as well.  We’ve included 28on27’s popular family favorite, Hershey’s Candy Cane Blossoms. They’re sure to please anyone on your list! If you decide to bake them, please bring them to your photo shoot. We’d love to taste them! 28on27 wishes you happy baking! Candy Cane Blossoms You’ll need: 48 Hershey’s Kisses Brand Candy Cane Mint Candies ½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons milk Festive sprinkles or red/green sugar Directions 1.    Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from candies. 2.    Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended. 3.    Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sprinkles, red sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar or a combination of any of the sugars. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. 4.    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes. Press a candy piece into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Yields about 4 dozen cookies. Delish!! Thanks to! Contributing writer Julia Kirsten

28on27's Holiday Party Guide

November 27th 2012

Contributing Writer  Julia Kirsten IT'S DECEMBER THE JOLLY...... time of year when you’ll attend more social gatherings in one month than you did in the other eleven combined. Whether you’re watching football and eating Bonbons with Grandpa Joe, clinking champagne glasses with your boss, or accompanying a date to their family’s 20th annual white elephant party, holiday etiquette isn’t just important. It’s necessary. Here are 28on27’s top 10 Do’s and Don’ts of the holiday season: 1). RSVP as soon as possible. And on the day of the party, don’t arrive too late. Generally, any later than 15 minutes after the start of the event is unacceptable. 2). Bring a gift for the host. A great, inexpensive gift could be a bottle of wine (unless the host doesn’t drink alcohol), lightly scented candles, a picture frame, or a hard-covered cookbook. 3). Pick a good “plus one.” If your friend Kimmy is known to bust out her killer Lady Gaga dance moves on every wooden surface she comes in contact with, it might not be the best idea to invite her to your company’s holiday extravaganza. If she acts up, you can bet you’ll take the blame. 4). Have your glass in your left hand, so you can shake hands with your right. This tip can nix the awkward fumbling of hands and can potentially avoid you the embarrassment of spilling your drink all over yourself. Or on someone else. 5). Make the host aware of your dietary needs ahead of time. However, if you’re on some sort of Atkins’s diet, South Beach, or whatever, you need to ditch the diet for the night. Don’t be that guest. If you’re a vegetarian or have food allergies, please speak up. Give the host plenty of time to meet your accommodations. 6). Meet new people. It’s a party. Talk to people! 7). Avoid drama. Even if you’re still upset at kleptomaniac Aunt Agatha for sneaking your silverware into her purse over Thanksgiving, the party isn’t the time or place to bring it up.   8). Don’t over eat, over drink, or over dance. Just because it’s all you can eat, drink, and dance, doesn’t mean you should. This is especially true for a company party. Remember, most people will judge you.   9). Wear appropriate clothing. Dressing “festive” doesn’t mean whipping out the Sexy Santa costume. Women should avoid anything that shows too much leg or cleavage. If you have to ask yourself if it’s inappropriate, it probably is. Men should dress professional, jeans are a no-go. Remember, it’s always a good idea to be dressed up than dressed down. 10). Send a handwritten thank-you card to the host. The only exception to this rule is if the host is a close family member. If that’s the case, tell Mom and Dad thanks, and give them a hug. Everyone else needs a card. Preferably one with a little sparkly reindeer on it. If you absolutely can’t do a card, a quick e-mail is sufficient. And the biggest “do” of them all, have fun! We wish you a happy holiday party season!
