Holiday Gift Guide

Hi Everyone ~ I wanted to pass along some great holiday gift item picks. You can give these gifts to your mom, a teacher, a friend, a sister, daughter, babysitter or anyone on your gift list.


First up ~  Ciate Nailpolish gift set… who doesn't like a new set of nailpolish. This pick is adorable in individual ornaments, so you could give someone the whole kit, or separate them and pair it with another small gift such as a candle or a lipgloss and you have 6 difference gifts!




Lip gloss ~ a great stocking stuffer! My pick is the Lancome Juicy Tubes




Perfume ~ I love buying the roller ball sets, they are cheaper, and are so much more convenient. You can try out multiple fragrances for half the price of a full size bottle. It is also nice that you can throw them on your purse too! My pick is the Marc Jacobs Trio Set





Candles ~ This is so hard to pick one, there are SO many kinds of candles I like. But since this is a Holiday gift guide, I am going to pick a beautiful and festive candle, and that is Nest Holiday Scented Candle. It is a classy, gorgeous, festive and smells of the holidays.




Hand Cream sets or Bath and body sets… my pick is… Philosophy The cookie exchange, how adorable and fitting for the season,  who doesn't like to smell like frosting :)! As a girl who likes to bake a lot  ~ I know I would find this gift so "SWEET."



My hand cream/ lip balm pick is Bliss Mistle toe musts… How cute is this hand cream / lip balm duo! Great products for on your bedside table, moisturize your hands and lips before bed!

Hope this was helpful, have fun shopping! Happy Holidays!

Natural Beauty tricks





I have really gotten into the natural side of beauty, products in my pantry that can produce results even better than high end skin care products. It is also nice to know you are using natural products free of all the yucky chemicals.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a great toner for the skin, it is antibacterial and will balance the skins PH level, it is also great to use it full strength when you have an active break out. Coconut oil is also a wonderful spot treatment for acne. I know, why would you put oil on acne?  It works, trust me. I have a post on Coconut Oil.. read that for more information.

 Baking Soda is wonderful for exfoliating the skin. Mix it with your favorite cleanser or make a paste with some water and scrub the dead skin away.

For a nice body scrub, mix some sea salt along with baby oil and brown sugar. Scrub away for a spa like shower experience at a fraction of the price!



Your next beauty treatment is just as far as your pantry!
