Archives for December 2015

The weather outside may be frightful, but I have found a few products this month that have been making it quite delightful. The cold weather has been messing with my skin making it WAY drier than usual. To combat the intense cold and wind, I have been using First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream and it has been amazing. Lightweight, quick to absorb and great at taking care of those itchy, dry spot right under my lips. Another cold weather favorite of mine has been the Formula X System To Go Party Edition. It’s the perfect mini set for an at home manicure. I love that it’s an easily transportable set of everything I need, from nail cleaner to top coat. When it gets cold outside, I’m all about the warm sweaters ad preferably adorable, like this one from J.Crew Factory. It makes me feel like I should be on the slopes or in a cabin with a big mug of hot chocolate. Check out some of the other products I have been loving this month below.

The Lush Christmas 2015 collection is here and I’ve bene so excited to test out each and every new product. Some old favorites like cinders and golden wonder are back again and they’re just as good as you remember. Cinders, made with cinnamon oil and crackling candy, makes you feel like you’re warming up by your fireside. My two new favorites from the collection have been The Magic of Christmas bubble bar and the Yog Nog bath bomb. The Magic of Christmas, made with clove, star anise and cinnamon is one of the most festive bubble bars that I have seen come out of Lush. Seriously, it just smells exactly like spicy, cinnamony Christmas scent. I’ve already used it three times and it’s not even close to being done yet so well worth the money. If you haven’t already, definitely head to Lush to pick up some of their Holiday collection. It’s the perfect excuse to treat yo’ self.

With all the chilly weather we’ve been having in San Francisco and a few pretty rainy days, I’ve been crazy excited to finally pull out my Hunter rain boots to pair with some of my favorite cozy weather sweaters. My favorite sweater lately has been this ski scene sweater from J.Crew Factory. Besides being super warm and cozy, the overall ski mountain scene that covers the front and back is beyond cute. It makes me feel like I should be hitting the slopes instead of heading to work in the morning. The sweater pairs well with a ton of my favorite cold weather looks, including this rainy day look that worked so well as we went to pick up our Christmas tree. I paired it with the ultimate in rainy day wellies, my Hunter ‘packable’ red boots and Hunter fleece wellie socks.  

Along with picking up the perfect Christmas tree, I was excited to also pick up a Christmas wreath to hang on our red door for the holidays! It came with a big red velvet ribbon and was only $7! Home Depot, you rock.
