It's Christmas Eve

Hi ya Gorgeous,
So it's Christmas Eve tonight. Are you ready? Do you have all of your gifts wrapped and ready?

Here's a thought, no matter what you got done for the holidays this year - it's ok, and it's enough. Personally, this has been one of the most non-Christmas like Christmases for me ever. I didn't get the lights up on the house, any gingerbread houses made, no new ornaments created and just flat out, flat holiday season for me.
The pressure at this time of year to perform is insane and un-achievable and to coin a term, Griswold.

So whether it got done or not, please take a moment and relax and enjoy your loved ones.

 This time of celebrating Jesus Christ is about relationship. Some of you may be having a big family get together and some of you may be at home with your fur family and celebrating just as much.

Please be good to yourself and others! You are so loved!

Part of the miracle of the season this year is that Hanukkah begins tonight as well. Enjoy your celebrations and Chag Sameach!

Now let the feasts begin!

Hard Candy Party Pop palette: perfect for the last minute stocking stuffer Christmas gift

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Woot! Final week countdown to Christmas and Hanukkah! Are you ready? Do you need just one more gift for someone? Specifically a beauty lover in your life or a new beauty user?

If yes, check out this video review and demonstration of the holiday palette Party Pop from Hard Candy - exclusively at Walmart!  It's just $4.88 and stocking stuffer ready!

It's tin can be reused, the mascara gives a nice fullness and the pencil is a bit firm for my tastes though I also normally only use a shadow and wet brush to make my eyeliner.  All the products used in the video are listed below it.  Enjoy!

How to Stuff a Christmas Stocking! Video for your TGiF!

 Oh Beauty,
Today is a sweet juxtaposition of life. On one hand, about to go out for a birthday celebration, on the other, I woke up to see Scott Weiland of the Stone Temple Pilots band has died, and then, it's time for Shabbat, and Hanukkah and for life to be celebrated in so many ways.

In the meantime, here's a Friday #TGiF video for you-it's the ever fun and spunky "How to Stuff a Christmas Stocking: Beauty Edition"

Enjoy.  Let me know what is the one beauty item that I missed in this stocking?

A very Merry Christmas eve to you and your family

Hello Gorgeous,
My family is in the middle of celebrating Hanukkah and Christmas.

Cheers to your family enjoying a celebration too.

Matthew 1:18-25

¹⁸This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

²⁰But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. ²¹She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

²²All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ²³”The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”-- which means, “God with us.”

²⁴When Joseph awoke, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. ²⁵But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Hello Gorgeous!
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas eve that is...

I have been testing and sampling the Kumani anti-aging shea butter 3 part skin system and love the thick, richness of the face was with micro exfoliating beads!
The toner is a soft, infused water that removes any traces of makeup and the creme is a perfect compliment to soothe dry winter skin!

The shea butter is harvested in West Africa and is only processed through fair trade practices.

Just think, while you are helping your skin, you are also helping the women of Africa sustain their families and communities.
It's pretty much a win win situation all around!

Hello my fellow Hanukkah and Christmas celebraters! Oh how I love to celebrate Christmas and
make memories and just enjoy the season.

I want to share with you this new body creme that is a rich, thick, luxurious creme that is a super hydrator and skin restorative for the body.

I love that this creme is for the body because so many people focus on the face when it comes to anti-aging care but forget about the neck, decollete, hands and of course, body!
I encourage you to visit the main website because there is so much to what they as a company are researching in skin care and advancing the technology of maintaining great looking healthy skin!

This body creme is intended for the treatment phase to help prepare the body skin to receive a wrap or massage or spa session.

I think the Regenerante Corps from Biologique Recherche would make an awesome Christmas stocking stuffer-get some! Find out more at http://www.biologique-recherche.com/
