Christmas is the season of giving (and of course, getting is nice too!) and what better gift to give (or get) than the gift of beauty?  Today's post is all about beautiful ways to treat someone you love to something special they may have never known they needed. 

Unlike clothing and personal style, beauty products always fit just so long as you match the ritual to the recipient.  Have a friend who craves her beauty sleep?  Try gifting her this pretty little pink silk sleep mask that will keep her dreaming those sweet dreams and waking up to some gorgeously refreshed eyes.

Anyone on your list have an envy worthy head of hair?  This shampoo and iconic boar bristle brush might be just what she's wishing for to help keep and care for those silky strands.

How about the high-end friend whose skincare obsession leaves your head spinning?  This intensive overnight treatment will not disappoint.  I love how hydrated and cushy feeling it leaves my skin the next day.  And, don't forget the homebody who loves to make her home a haven.  This candle (or any of the lusciously intoxicating scents) will make her day every time she lights it.

Beauty gifts truly feed the spirit and are some of my absolute favorites to give.  I hope you find something to fall in love with for you and for them.  Hope you're having a lovely day!

Hello friends! Mid-December is such a special time...wrapping presents, celebrating special moments, enjoying the magic of the holidays and reflecting back upon the past year.  We all know this year has been a doozie but I always like to look for the silver lining.  And that's what today's post is all about.  With all the unexpected challenges we all took on in 2020, these items helped get and guide me through so many of them as they made my life so much easier while making me smile along the way.  From major purchases to small treasures, I can say thank you 2020 for bringing them tome.

This is maybe my best purchase of the entire year, my MacBook Air.  If you're like me and enjoy the mobility while having life at your fingertips, then this little powerhouse is for you.  I was able to get mine for an amazingggg price at QVC in the gorgeous color I wanted as well as a bunch of super useful aka necessary accessories to go with it.  So good, the sold out the day I got mine but I believe they may have since restocked.  I highly recommend checking it out.

We all got way into cooking this year and even though I've always channeled my inner Ina Garten, this year took things to a whole new level.  One of my favorite kitchen appliances to use daily is this toaster oven.  From nachos and apps to cakes and cookies, this oven does it all.  If you live in an apartment you won't want to be without it as it completely allows you to for go your oven for cooking and use it to get your Carrie Bradshaw on, haha! Just kidding...about the storage part that is, hehe. I'm also loving this immersion blender for smoothing sauces and pureeing soups in the pot with zero mess.  It's a must-have.

Other, smaller purchases I made and loved this year include The Always Pan (see details about cooking above, haha), this hands-free soap dispenser because 2020, this rose mask which my skin can't live without, this peel in a jar that makes my derm doctor miss me and these hair and skin supplements that are addicting and great for you.

These are the standouts that helped me navigate life this year.  How about you?  I'd love to hear more from you guys about your favorites.  The rest of those pictured above are each linked in the thumbnails below in case you're thinking about adding any of them to your life too.  Let me know if you try something and love it...and I promise there is something here you will!  Enjoy!

Who would have ever dreamed that the beloved beauty phrase of "I'm doing a mask" would have morphed into an entirely different meaning here in 2020.  Before when someone mentioned that they were having a glass of wine and putting on a mask on a Sunday night, I knew it was in reference to a bit of lovely self-care.  And now...well, we all know the connotation at this point.

But, that does not mean that the love of a really great skincare mask has wained.  These beauties are still the way I love to end my weekend.  And they come in all varieties made to pamper and satisfy all of our skincare needs.

This one from Tatcha is perhaps my most favorite tried and true.  First of all, is there anything that this brand can't do perfectly? I love them for so many reasons as you already know if you have read some of my beauty posts before.  The reasons I enjoy this sheet mask so much are the hydration it imparts and the nutrition that it provides my skin.  Both of which I can see and feel immediately after using it.  It is also important to know, that this mask provides a superfood rich dose of serum directly to my skin.  K beauty you slay me.

Speaking of K beauty, I cannot be without this life-changing lip mask.  I first received it as a gift two Christmases ago and have not gone a day without it since.  The color and scent are both so appealing but beyond the aesthetics, I am obsessed with the soft, plump and pillowy lips it gives me.  Even with a daily indulgence, it lasts forever.  If you have never tried it, I highly recommend!

This next one made Sisley famous.  I mean, it isn't like the luxe brand had any problem gaining a notable following but this little tube made them iconic.  So what's all the fuss about?  Well, black rose and instant youth might have a little bit to do with it, haha.  Anytime I've used it, my skin comes away soft, glowy, completely revitalized and perfectly refreshed, Yes, it's a bit of a splurge but well worth the investment on something so highly effective that you can do right at home.

I also love this clean beauty detox option from Caudalie.  If your skin is looking lackluster and feeling the effects of too many environmental stressors, I suggest giving this one a try.  I love how the natural ingredients work in sync with my skin to gently resurface the top layer, tighten pores and remove impurities without any irritation at all.

Beauty regimes and self-care are such a crucial component of any well-rounded routine.  These are a few of my much-loved favorites for the results they produce.  I've linked them all along with some other great options down below.  I'd love to know what you all are enjoying when it comes to taking care of your skin.  A girl can never have too many options, haha.

Have a beautiful Monday everyone.

Happy Monday girls!  Anyone in need of some new neutrals to take to the beach right now?  Nudes, blushes and whites are always in my rotation and they make for the perfect palette all summer as they flatter every skin tone and can be found in gorgeous options from head to toe.  Today's picks focus exclusively upon beach day essentials that will have you showing off that sun-kissed golden tan.  This blushing beauty is so sweet looking and reminds of more innocent eras gone by.  Pair it with a pretty head band, high pony and this adorable straw tote and you will have those heads turning.  I think this ivory bandeau option would be so chic along with this hat, these sunnies and a stunning peach sarong.  I'm also wanting to toss on these comfy and super affordable slides with any of the options mentioned above.  Don't forget a dab of this incredible lip balm whenever you turn your face towards the sun.  It is the one thing I reach for daily to keep my lips pillowy soft and is worth every penny.  Isn't summer so amazing?  What are all of your favorite wear-to-the beach must-haves?

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week.  Enjoy your beach day if you are having one!
