Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree: 21st Annual West Tennessee Healthcare Gala


Saturday, November 13th, 2010—  The Jackson community was full of the holiday spirit as nearly 500 guests attended the 21st Annual West Tennessee Healthcare Gala. This year’s theme,  “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” was a particularly merry event whereby guests were greeted by Santa upon arrival. Dinner was provided in the eloquent Carl Perkins Civic Center ballroom.

The evening produced over $100,000 in donations to the West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation. All proceeds will be given to the Ayers Children’s Medical Center and the Kirkland Cancer Center.

Fashionable and Functional: Stay Warm in Style

When it comes to choosing an outfit, you don’t have to choose fashion over function. This winter, stay warm in style with a few accessories that are sure to be favorites this season. Here are three practical, yet adorable looks for an adventure out into the cold. 

This ivory scarf is a great addition to any outfit. Throw it on over a plaid flannel shirt or a pea coat for an extra warming effect. Check out anthropologie.com for more fashionable winter accessories! 







Zip Leather Gloves from J.CrewGloves make a great winter season accessory. Check out these from J.Crew. The zipper detail and cashmere lining make any outdoor adventure feel extra luxurious. 


Say goodbye to the toboggan, and hello to this year's newest cold weather trend--the bomber hat. The inside shearling lining is indescribably soft. Keep your ears cozy and face warm this season with one of these classic looks from eddiebauer.com or llbean.com

Winterize Your Skin!


Even though the cold winter weather hasn’t quite reached us yet, it is never too late to winterize your skin! It is best to start exfoliating and moisturizing before the cold hits so that your skin is prepared. Here are some great products that will do the job and leave your skin feeling extra soft this winter season!


Kiehl’s Moisturizer
I recommend this moisturizer to everyone! It is light, but heavily moisturizes your face and body. It even has SPF 15 for those of you who will be outdoors or hitting the slopes. The best thing about Kiehl’s lotion is that a little goes a long way. One bottle of Kiehl’s lotion lasts an unbelievable long time.
