What does she want for Christmas?

Do not fret, I scoured my local Bed Bath & Beyond store to bring you what moms, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, and girlfriends want this year – whether she is a coffee lover, beauty guru, or a hostess with the most-est – this gift guide has something for her this Christmas season.

Coffee Lover | If you’re feeling especially bold and generous this Christmas espresso machines are a wonderful gift for the entire family. For a more personal, individual gift I love the french press, jumbo coffee mug, and milk frother. It doesn’t matter if she can’t decide between black coffee or creamy, frothy latte – she can decide each morning!

 French Press | Jumbo Mug | Milk Frother

Beauty Guru | This gift is the best for the ladies in your life who want to take applying their makeup to the next level, or for those who don’t have adequate bathroom light for putting on makeup. Plus it is the perfect lighting for selfies!

Hostess With The Most-est | You do not need to be a hostess to want these beautiful moscow mule mugs! Anyone would love to serve themselves (or others) mulled wine over the holidays in these rich copper mugs.

I have a holiday decor obsession, if you can’t tell from the photos, that starts with a G and ends in OLD.

This Christmas I am setting our dinner table with beautiful paper placemats with gold wreaths, gold paper banners with our names written in gold ink, and a gold paper table runner with polkadots. And don’t let me forget to mention the many gold decorations…

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD!

There’s something regal and refined about gold that I love. And I found all my gold needs satisfied from Hester & Cook, available at their store or their many distributors in North America.

What is your decoration obsession during the Winter? Let me know in a comment below!

I can’t wait to show you soon the other beautiful table settings I have planned for our multiple Christmas meals. Stay tuned!

All I want for Christmas is YOU!

I’ve been listening to my Michael Buble CD (Yes, I said CD) in the car on a repeating cycle. It’s so bad that I know what song comes after the next and my 3 year old sings along quietly in her carseat.

This Christmas why not support local small businesses? It’s amazing the gems I’ve found her in Edmonton by meeting through friends and craft sales. There’s something for every lady in your life – whether she is a mother, a loyal friend, the cool aunt, or someone who’s been on your mind:

  1. Copper Smithstine | YEG necklace
  2. Coton Lily Creations | statement necklace
  3. Hayden & Ella Handmade | mama + mini toques
  4. Ilex Everyday Couture | chunky knit cowl

Hope you find something local to share with your loved ones this year!

What Is The Difference Between Wool And Boiled Wool?

Never Heard Of Boiled Wool? Here Is The Difference Between Wool And Boiled Wool!

What is the difference between wool and boiled wool? First off, they’re both still wool but the boiled wool has been boiled (it’s really that simple). And by boiling the wool it shrinks so when it’s made into clothes it doesn’t let the wind in or your heat out – making it warmer than regular wool. I’ve always noticed how warm my wool coats are but they never can protect me from the wind, it goes straight through the coat.

 

 

So when you’re shopping for your wool coats, capes, vests, and ponchos this year look for boiled wool. It’ll be worth your while this winter!

Skincare Must Haves | How To Avoid Seasonal Skin Problems This Fall

skincare for dry skin

skincare for dry skin

Is your skin feeling tight? Dry? Does your skin look dull or flaky? Although Autumn is my favourite season it does quite the number to my skin. Maybe it’s a combination of the moisture being sucked out of the already dry Alberta air or the new increase in consumption of salted caramel mochas (or whatever your choice coffee drink it) – whatever the problem is my skins hydration suffers for it. 

Blend And Boost | This cream is customized to my skin’s unique needs – using boosters the cream can be adjusted to help your fine lines, pores, skin tone, dark spots, blemishes, redness, dryness, and many more skin problems. The cream absorbs well into my skin and I love the way it leaves my skin feeling soft and non-greasy.

Our Skin Cares Anti-Aging Serum | I’m adding this to one of my favourite serums! All you need is one pump and it covers your whole face and neck. The scent is a little floral but it’s delightful. 

Indie Lee Lavender Chamomile Moisturizing Oil | Looking for that extra moisture protection for your skin? This is it! The oil locks in and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day while the lavender and chamomile soothes agitated skin.
