Don ye now your gay apparel? Healthy skin, hair and nails are the best accessories. Look your best by taking care of yourself during this most festive of seasons.

Kiss Off

Looking for a great stocking stuffer for the fashionista in your life? Look no further, says Beauty and Wellness Expert Grace Gold, who recommends a must-have for this time of year to keep you kissable under the mistletoe: Lip blam. And not just any lip balm. Look for one that boasts packaging inspired by Pantone's Official Color Forecast , straight off the fashion runways across the globe. "It's just so cute that you don't even have to wrap these up, you can just give them to your giftee," says Gold. "This is the classic stick with the slant top that a lot of people really enjoy. It has an ultra hydrating slant formula, a soft vanilla flavor, a clear gloss finish, and SPF 15 which we all need this time of year. And it's very affordable at just $2.49."

Carmex is available in the checkout lines at Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Dollar General.

Great Health Hack

"We should all be taking multivitamins every day, especially during cold and flu season," says Gold. And this means the whole family. Look to Rainbow Light Energy Multivitamin to cover all the bases: All formulas are delicious, food-based and have daily nutrient support, says Gold. "And I don't know about you but when it tastes good I remember to take it every day," she says.

The Men's Gummy supports male vitality to give energy and protect the major systems of a man's body. The women's formula contains a healthy dose of biotin, the holy grail of shiny hair, glowing skin and healthy nails. "This is in addition to antioxidants for cellular support and anti-aging benefits, natural energy, mental focus and a healthy stress response, which during the holiday season I feel like women especially need since we take on so much stress, so it's great to have that support in your multivitamin," Gold says.

Or if you're interested in enhancing the mental focus or mood of the teen in your life? Consider a multivitamin formula for teens that promotes mental focus, healthy stress response and mental focus.

Get these multivitamins at rainbowlight.com and Whole Foods Market Stores.

Polished Performance

Freshly polished nails are the perfect accessory for any holiday look. Go with a classic glossy red nail, which not only plays off of any ensemble but also harkens back to the days of Old Hollywood, as seen on the delicate digits of Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, and Natalie Wood.

Santa-Approved Smile

Another good idea for a can't-lose stocking stuffer, according to Gold: A vibrating or sonic toothbrush, which cleans teeth and gums and creates the kind of healthy smile that is a MUST for every holiday get-together.
