bomb! facial mask

I picked up this exfoliating facial mask a couple of weeks ago during the Credo Beauty sale (20% off everything!) and have been following the directions. Can I say lov-ing it?!?!? A little goes a long way and the tingling sensation you get on application let’s you know it’s working. And the results? Immediate glow but also better absorption of my other products… WINNING ~ and just in time for the holidays!!

3 tips for holiday #selfcare

You need to be the best version of yourself because people are counting on you but it seems like “me time” is the first to go.

So when I happened upon these lovely monogrammed travel jewelry cases I had to share! Although I won’t be gifting them this year (I already have my girlfriend gifts secured….), they are the perfect, inexpensive favor. Why stop at the holidays? They’re perfect for birthdays too!!

Holiday Finds

holiday party uniform

The last three years or so I’ve taken to creating a “holiday uniform” of sorts ~ last year, everything I wore to various functions centered around a pair of Vans glitter hi-tops! This year, my holiday party uniform will be jeans + sparkly sandal/heel + dramatic top….(thanks to Man Repeller). The shoe options are endless between Badgley Mischka, another Badgley Mischka (which I think will be my choice this year!), Sam Edelman, Miu Miu, and Schutz. For dramatic-entrance tops, I’ll

how to be a good friend and gift-giver

Over the years, I’ve had to figure out what to get my gaggle of friends. I started out buying special gifts for each person and, frankly, that became time-consuming and expensive. Over the last few years, I’ve stuck with monogrammed gifts and that’s a hit ~ who doesn’t love to see their name or initials on something?!
