Favourite Christmas Party Outfit

If you’re looking for family photo outfit inspiration you’ll love this post.

I am on a tulle skirt binge – whether it’s edgy and chic, or feminine and delicate I love tulle skirts!

If you are not feeling the black + gold colour palette for Christmas parties feel free to go back to the traditional red and green. I don’t wear red because it clashes with my hair but I love to wear all shades of green!

Giving Back: Favourite Holiday Charities

Remember when you read the Berenstain Bears books when you were young?

There was the one book (The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving
) about Mama Bear decluttering their house of all the children’s gently-used-but-no-longer-played-with toys and games, Papa’s unused collection of fishing poles and fishing magazines, and Mama’s piles of never been looked at cookbooks and the stacks of fabric she would one day potentially use – and then they donated all their stuff to the old folks home, children’s hospital, and salvation army. Donating during the holidays is a wonderful way to give back to your community!

This year I decided to participate in one of the many charity drives my church does, creating a basket of household items for teen moms and teen parents at the Terra Centre.

As a young woman who became pregnant at 18 year old, I know the struggles financially and emotionally that come with having a baby so young and felt compelled to spread the blessing of my family to another young family.

The items one the list ranged from deodorant to dish towels to mittens for little ones. Instead of buying a couple of dresses or a new purse buying this Black Friday I invested into a family, and it felt even better than any shopping high I have ever had.

God calls on us to bless the needy in the bible:

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” Hebrews 13:16

“The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the Lord, and the Lord will repay him for his good deed.” Proverbs 19:17

“Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” Proverbs 22:9

Here are some of my favourite charities to give to this Christmas:

Favourite Holiday Beauty Look

It has been a while since I’ve shared a beauty look – you know that I am obsessed with skincare so naturally I also adore makeup products.

I am recreating the naturally dramatic beauty look that I wore to the Lululemon YEG event in late November. Flawless skin, structured brows, natural subtle eye makeup, and dark lips – better known to me as my favourite holiday beauty look.

What I used:

colour corrector | NYX Colour Corrector Palette

foundation | Mirabella Foundation

highlight + contour | Maskcara Beauty HAC Palette (white peach + walnut)

brow pencil | Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil

illuminator | Maskcara Beauty Pearl Illuminator

eyeshadow palette | Stila Perfect Hue Palette

mascaras | Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash, Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real, Covergirl Waterproof Lash Blast

lip stain | Lipsense Mulled Wine

Gift Guides For The Holidays

This Christmas season I have been on a gift guide roll – I can’t get enough of them. Whether you are buying for moms, special women in your life, or family and friends there is a gift guide out there for everyone.

Any of these products are perfect for anyone obsessed with skincare – especially if they have sensitive skin!

Foreo Luna 2 + Iris | The Luna 2 (available in mini/travel size too) is a must have for anyone who finds other deep cleansing devices too abrasive for their skin. While the Iris massages your eye promoting circulation and overall decreasing puffiness.

Skinceuticals | Phyto Corrective Gel, Phloretin CF, Metacell B3, Triple Lipid Replenishment Treatment | The moment I started using the Skinceuticals products my skin’s hydration instantly improved. I can not sing the Triple Lipid Replenishment Treatment’s praises any higher, it is simply skin (and life) changing.
