I can’t believe it’s almost December!  November was a month of self-love and self-indulgence, because my December is going to be all about gift-giving!  I really love the holiday season; it’s a magical time of year with the first snowfalls, holiday music, and the opportunity to make new special memories.

This year, Chanukah and Christmas both start on December 24, which means a lot of us will be celebrating our holidays together!  I think this is our God’s (no matter what God you do or do not believe in) way of telling us that we all need to stick together, unite and love one another.  So I’m focusing extra on making sure that my loved ones feel loved and appreciated; stay tuned for my gift guides and other holiday fun!

In the meantime, check out some of the newest additions to my vanity!

Beauty

Dior Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm – One of my splurges during Sephora’s rare 20% off event.  I’ve been using this every day – I love anything with rose in it!

Glossier Black Tie – At this point, I buy anything Glossier makes, so I had to try their first foray into lip gloss, eyeliner, and nail polish.  I also love the special edition of Haloscope that comes with it!

Skin

CERAVE Skin Renewing Night Cream – My normally-hearty skin becomes very sensitive when dry, and right now, this is the only night cream that isn’t irritating me.

Jason Wu for Caudalie Beauty Elixir – I fell in love with Caudalie products when I worked at Warren-Tricomi at the legendary Plaza Hotel in New York, and their spa was upstairs.  I love the luxe redesign of this cult spray.

Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil – Tatcha is inspired by Geisha beauty rituals, and I’m so obsessed with their simple, luxurious products.  For Cyber Monday, take 20% off your purchase with code ‘THANKS2016’ and familiarize yourself with the brand starting with this heavenly cleansing oil.

Hair

Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast – I have a lot of hair, and sometimes it weighs itself down.  This spray brings my volume back to lion’s mane levels.

Stay beautiful.  Stay warm.  Love, Me
