Beat the Winter Skin Blues

I am in LOVE with a skincare line you most likely haven't seen before….it's not sold in department stores but what I've experienced in a week of using the Amarte Skincare products I'm a believer.
And perfect timing for  hydrating my dry winter skin!!

My favorite from the line is the new Aqua Veil Serum that delivers pure hydration to dull dry skin at only $57 it's a "Must Have" to beat the winter skin blues.
The Aqua Veil^® Pure Hydration Serum is a cucumber infused ultra light serum that optimizes hydration by releasing droplets of pure H2O onto the skin to form a protective veil. This unique serum gives skin a youthful radiance.

                                         Available for purchase at AmarteSkincare.com

Unique Holiday Gifting

I love finding unique gifts that scream you spent hours thinking of each person on your gifting list.   Here's a few suggestions I LOVE this Holiday Season.          

   1. FOR THE CHEF-  KESS InHouse

I love the entire product line from KESS InHouse but these cutting boards make the most beautiful gift and are very reasonably priced at only $49.

These sturdy tempered glass cutting boards will make everything you chop look like a dutch painting. Perfect the art of cooking with this KESS InHouse unique art cutting board. Go for patterns or painted, either way this tinted, non-skid, dishwasher safe cutting board is perfect for preparing any artistic dinner or serving. Cut, chop, serve or frame, all of these unique cutting boards are gorgeous.

--------------------

2. FOR LADIES WHO LIKE LEISURE

Gifting for the "ladies of leisure" on your list?   DUFFIELD LANE has great options to find  "preppy meets chic"  loungewear that they will love and feel confident answering the door in.  Comfy pieces for relaxing at home, on the beach, shopping with the girls, running errands, working from home or just hanging around the house.  This nautical navy and white lounge robe is only $140.

-------------------------

                                   

                                3. BATH & BODY GIFTS
Always a sucker for great packaging, I am always a fan of the  Crabtree & Evelyn Holiday Gift Collections.  They have something for everyone and the scents and the bath and body skincare products are so yummy.  You cannot go wrong with this gift featuring a "hand cream for every month" beautifully packaged in this musical tin for only $60.  And yes- it plays "Sleigh Ride" and can be repurposed as a keepsake.
                                                             -----------------------------------

BATH TIME

One of my favorite things in the whole world is soaking in a hot steaming bath.  Add in some Bath salts, Body oils or Bath bombs and an DIY facial - it's Spa Treatment anyone can afford.  

And one of my favorite products for the bath is also very affordable and a wonderfully therapeutic- Dr. Teal's Epsom Salts.  Indulge while Dr. Teal's epsom salt soaking solution with it's magnesium sulfate revitalizes tired achy muscles and refreshes skin's appearance.  They have a delicious variety of aromatherapy options such as Lavender Soothe & Sleep, Eucalyptus Spearmint Rest & Relax and Chamomile Comfort and Calm which are my favorites. 

Indulge for 20 minutes in this bath soak to relax sore muscles and revitalize the senses. You deserve it.

Living Life with Gratitude~ Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am often asked if I ever have a bad day.  You know, "wake up on the wrong side of the bed"?…. the truth is I am naturally a happy person, and I credit this as a choice I make when I wake up every morning.  My secret is to live life with gratitude each and every day.
Sounds corny, but it's true.:))
That is why my favorite Holiday is Thanksgiving.  It's a time where we mandatorily reflect on family and being thankful for all the joy that has blessed our lives.  To give thanks. Something I do anyway every day but it's a celebration of life.
If you missed our "Live Love Laugh Today" Thanksgiving show that just aired - here it is- and wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!
