Earlier this season I had such huge aspirations for getting my blog ready for the holidays – I was all about putting together gift guides, and those handy dandy holiday magazines all those bloggers with their shit together put together – but it never quite came to fruition. Between work and holiday parties and hiding from the cold watching Netflix {very important!}, I barely got my holiday shopping done let alone put together anything for the blog.
And while I was pretty disappointed at myself for not getting it together, I’ve been trying to be a little kinder to myself these days and not sweat the small stuff. Some days I need to give myself a high five for even getting a blog post up, so falling behind around the holidays really isn’t the worst thing in the world 😉 Hopefully I’ll have some holiday goodness for you in the coming weeks, but in the meantime – here are a few of my favorite things I’ve been loving lately!
- Rifle Paper Co. Planner: 2016 was quite the year – so I’m extra excited to ring in 2017 and get a fresh start and a new year rolling. To get my booty together, I’m excited to buy this cute planner from Rifle Paper Co, which is perfect for daily planning and has the cutest cover.
- Rosemary Mint Body Polish: The best way to wind down during the holiday season is a little spa night, and my favorite little indulgence is Aveda’s rosemary mint body polish. It smells amazing and works like a charm to soften dry, winter skin.
- Loren Hope Earrings: Who doesn’t love some sparkle? Loren Hope makes my favorite jewelry, and I love these simple drop earrings for the holidays.
- One Love Skin Dew: I love One Love Organics, and their newest Skin Dew coconut water cream is seriously the best facial lotion ever. It smells amazing {hello, coconuts!}, but it’s also amazing for dull, dehydrated and combination skin – especially in this terrible winter weather. If you’re looking for the perfect moisturizer to add to your arsenal, definitely give this one a try!
- Good Vibes Candle: Good vibes + this cute candle is everything you need to kick off a cozy night in – just add popcorn and Netflix.
- Cuyana Envelope Clutch: I’ve been obsessed with all things Cuyana, and this pretty blush clutch is perfect for the holidays and transitioning into spring, which should eventually come around one of these days 😉
Any fun plans you’re looking forward to this weekend? Tonight I’m swinging by Tom’s for an attractive sweater party {like an ugly sweater party, but where everyone wears their most beautiful sweater, haha} and then enjoying some holiday festivities before the last week of work before break {woot woot!}. Hope you all enjoy the weekend and get your holiday on too! xx

Okay, that “Good Vibes Only” candle is the cutest thing ever! Great list, Maya.
Best,
Emma
