The Most Personal & Luxurious Gift Sets For The Holidays

Morning everyone, it’s officially holiday gift shopping season so I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for everyone on your list this year starting today with some of my favorite beauty products by L’Occitane. I was introduced to this brand about five years ago and I absolutely fell in love with the Lavender Foaming Bath and Almond Shower Oil. They are some of the most soothing and luxurious bath products I’ve ever used so I instantly became a fan. So if you’re looking to spoil your loved ones this holiday season, I highly recommend stocking up on a few of these gift sets. The L’Occitane gift sets are some of the most impressive and luxurious gifts you can give to someone while still being personal and staying within a budget. Plus they already come beautifully packaged in Castelbajac Paris designs so you don’t even really need to wrap them. Additionally, there are so many items offered in some of the sets that you could even split up between a few people by dropping a couple items in each of their stockings or creating your own little gift baskets.

Today shop L’Occitane’s special deal and get FREE shipping on any $49 purchase!

Oh and while you’re at it, you might as well treat yourself to a little pampering by purchasing the L’Occitane Luxury Advent Calendar. It’s a great way to try out all of the items yourself, or if you’re feeling generous, you can even share it with the rest of your family by taking turns opening each of the 24 days of goodies all the way until Christmas. What a wonderful way to countdown! Lastly, if you really want to impress your loved ones with their new Provence inspired gift, it might be important to know how to pronounce the name of the brand. It’s pronounced LOX-EE-TAHN.

Fragrant Lavender Collection: I of course had to put this set at the top of my favorites list because the Lavender Foaming Bath was the first L’Occitane product that I fell in love and I want others to experience the same kind of luxurious pampering this season. Because we deserve it, right!

The Best Of L’Occitane Collection: I just love when brands do the work for you by curating their best selling products and packaging them all together for you because you know the gift will be good and you didn’t even have to do any of the work.

Luxury Advent Calendar: This gift is such a fun and interactive way to countdown to Christmas. Plus it’s a great way to try 24 different products by L’Occitane before buying the full size bottles. Not to mention the eye catching design that rotates a full 360 degrees to find each of the numbered drawers.

Motivation Monday: Holiday Season Fitness Goal Check In

November 19, 2018

Happy Motivation Monday everyone! I just wanted to do a little holiday season fitness goal check in with you because this Thursday is Thanksgiving and you know that means…it’s officially time to start indulging yourself with holiday sweets and treats. While I fully support the tradition of stuffing yourself with turkey and dressing until you can’t anymore on Thanksgiving Day, let’s not forget our holiday season fitness goal! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, make sure to check out this post here—>My Holiday Season Fitness Goal

Basically our goal is to not take on any extra unwanted weight during the holidays. To help prevent that from happening, I suggest picking at least three days a week to get some cardio in. Grab some new Adidas running shoes and activewear from Finish Line to get you feeling excited and motivated. I love wearing this Adidas Muscle Tank under jackets and vests. Finish Line carries all of the latest running shoe designs. I’m wearing the white PureBOOST GO Running Shoes in today’s post, but I also love the UltraBOOST 4.0 Running Shoes in Ash Pearl too. Oh and last season’s UltraBOOST Running Shoes are currently marked down in the Ash Pearl color! Be sure to check out all of Finish Line’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales later this week.

If you don’t have time for work out on Thanksgiving day, pack your tennis shoes with you and gather a couple of friends and or family members for an afternoon stroll to walk off some of that stuffing and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. I’m all about fully enjoying the holidays, but just don’t let it get the best of you. Just mix fitness and family time together by doing more physical and interactive activities like playing games and going on scavenger hunts etc…

November 14, 2018

Hey everyone, now that we’ve discussed Thanksgiving ideas, it’s time to start talking about Christmas decor. Don’t worry! That doesn’t mean you need to start decorating just yet, but you may want to set a date with a few of your close friends and family for a cookie-baking, hot-cocoa-drinking, Hallmark-movie-watching, Christmas-tree-decorating party! Man that’s a long title for a party, but doesn’t that sound like the most magical way to kick off the holiday season? I’m sure you’re answer is yes so scroll through today’s post some Hallmark Christmas movie decorating party ideas with World Market! Because it’s way more fun to decorate with the family and friends instead of alone! The more the merrier, right?

1) Set a date for after Thanksgiving day to host your holiday decorating party. Let your guests knows that there will be plenty of sweets, hot chocolate, boozy drinks and cozy blankets for Hallmark movie watching. BUT there will still be some decorating involved.

2) Before getting all of your old decor out or purchasing any new decor, scroll through Pinterest to see what kind of vibe you want to go for this year or if there any other parts of the house you want to decorate that you didn’t decorate last year. Next pull out all of last year’s holiday decor to make everything still works and to see what you need more of.

5) Before for your guests arrive, create a delicious table spread of snacks and drinks and gather all of the cozy blankets and pillows in your house for a cozy vibe. Oh and you can’t forget about a Christmas playlist! Duh!
