By request, I've compiled a little gift guide for the guys shopping for that special lady. So here are a few nifty things that the lady in your life may appreciate.

Ok, so: Does your lady take her phone's camera to new levels of photographic artistry? Get her this really cool clip-on lens to up her game. It's pretty cool.  Celebs sure wear a lot of fun necklaces, but they're all so expensive. Get the style without the price right here . She might love it.   You got a badass on your hands? This. Ever thought about getting your special woman a bag or a tote but feel like you have no idea what you're doing? Get this one. It's classic, fashionable, and notable.

So, as in years past, here's the deal- Some people (I'm sure you know at least one) are difficult when it comes to gifting. So to make it easy on you, I find random, nifty things that I think would make cool gifts and I share them with you. Buy one for yourself, buy one for a friend, buy one for a lover, buy none.

Easy Stovetop Chicken Breast, for everything

Chicken breast is one of the most versatile foods in the world. It works with almost every cuisine and can be dressed up in to any darn thing you desire.

Turn the stove on to medium and set the pan on the heat. In a ziploc bag, throw in the chicken, salt, and pepper. Toss this around a bit in the bag. After being on the heat for one or two minutes, the pan should be hot enough. Place the chicken breast on the skillet and let it cook without moving it for one minute. Turn the chicken breast to the other side and let it cook without moving for one minute as well. Now, turn the chicken back to the initially cooked side and turn the heat to medium-low. Co...
