HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA: The perfect beauty set

Saturday, November 4, 2017

Sponsored by Belk and ShopStyle. All opinions are my own.


My Oh My. The Holidays are right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited. I love it everything about this time of the year: the decorations, the music, the smell, the parties…and of course, the gifting.

 Every year I find myself buying all my Holiday gifts last-minute- NO MORE! It’s never too early to start thinking about Holiday gifts. I’ve noticed that I have a thing for gifting (and gifting myself) beauty products. Every woman deserves a little pampering AND you don’t have to worry about what size she is, if it’ll fit or if it’s her style.

I personally love gifting beauty sets, and I’m loving the variety of Beauty Sets that Belk is offering this season. You will find everything for every lovely woman in your life: for the mom who is all about skincare, the sister that could wear a different lipstick every day of the year, and your friend who collects perfumes ( I don’t know how or why but I basically fit in all those categories #Beautyobsessed for sure!)

But out of all the sets, there was one that instantly caught my eye because of it’s great value, and because it is such a high quality brand: the Lancôme Parisian Holiday Case. 

Give the Gift of Nature this Holiday

Thursday, December 3, 2015






When it comes to Holiday Gifts, I like making sure that the person would absolutely love it and it would not end up being recycled as another gift. I also have a thing for gifting beauty products…every woman loves them and every woman deserves a little pampering PLUS you don’t have to worry about sizes, color, fit, or style.

Lately I’ve been drawn to natural products; just like we like eating balanced and organic, what you put ON your body should be made from the best nature has to offer…making these little Holiday kits from Burt’s Bees the perfect stocking stuffer- not only for the beauty product lover but for the eco-friendly/ nature lover. They are free of many harmful chemicals, they are not tested in animals, and they contain natural ingredients..just like every product on their market should be!!



This 5-piece Holiday kit available at Walmart comes with Burt’s Bees classic essentials:
  1. Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser: this 99% natural face cleanser removes makeup while hydrating your skin. It is infused with clary sage and it’s enhanced with probiotic technology. 
  2. Naturally Nourishing Milk&Honey Lotion: moisturizes skin for up to 24 hours with milk, honey, vitamin e, coconut, and grape seed oils.  I love that it absorbs very quickly and it doesn’t feel greasy. 
  3. Coconut Foot Cream: it rejuvenates dry feet with coconut oil, rosemary, and peppermint extracts. Apply it, put some socks on, and go to sleep…believe, your feet will thank you (especially after those long hours in heels!)
  4. Vanilla Bean Lip Balm: I’m so addicted to lip balm, this one moisturizes and hydrates lips 100% naturally. This one is a must for us ladies who love lipstick…but guys also want kissable lips, right?
  5. Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream: moisturizes very dry hands with botanical oils and beeswax. I always thought that I just needed to go often to the nail salon to get my cuticles in perfect shape; recently I learned I just need to make sure my nails are moisturized…at the end, cuticles are just very very dry skin around our nails. So this product is my new favorite and I’m making my husband use it because he has extremely dry cuticles (and don’t tell anyone, but so far, he loves it!)

We all know that winter can dry out our skin.These 5 products work for either women or men; and they are the perfect travel size. I have been traveling more than usual this year and I love when products are the perfect size to take on my carry-on. 


Walmart has a ton of Burt’s and Bees Holiday kits, check them out here. Best part?  They are all under $10!!

Cuando se trata de regalos de Navidad, me gusta asegurarme que a la persona le va a gustar.. y que el regalo no va a terminar siendo reciclado como OTRO regalo. También me gusta regalar productos de belleza a mis amigas, tías, y primas- a todas las mujeres nos encantan los productos de belleza y todas merecemos consentirnos un ratito (aparte que no hay que preocuparse por regalar la talla exacta y que le quede bien).

Ultimamente me han estado llamado mucho la atención los productos naturales; al igual que nos gusta comer saludable, es importante pensar que los productos que usamos deberían ser de la mejor calidad.... y se que no soy la única. Por eso estos kits de navidad de Burt's Bees son el regalillo perfecto para las amantes de belleza o para las ecológicas. No tienen esos químicos malignos, no experimentan con animalejos, están hechos de ingredientes naturales ...de la manera que todos los productos de belleza deben ser.

Este kit de 5 piezas disponible en Walmart viene con los productos mejores vendidos de Burt's Bees:
1. Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser
2. Naturally Nourishing Mil&Honey Lotion
3. Coconut Foot Cream
4. Vanilla Bean Lip Balm

5. Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream:


Como sabemos, el invierno reseca mucho nuestra piel....y estos 5 productos funcionan perfectamente tanto para mujeres como para hombres. También son "travel-size"; lo cual es genial ya que no te tienes que preocupar por chequear tu maleta al viajar.

Walmart tiene muchos kits de navidad de Burt's and Bees, y la mejor parte es que ninguno cuesta más de $10!

Holiday Gift Guide: For Fitness Lovers…with Athleta...

Wednesday, December 10, 2014




As I've told you, this year, I decided to do a couple of gift guides. For the second gift guide,  I'm partnering with Athleta for a fun gift guide for fitness lovers. This one is one of my favorites because everyone makes fitness goals for the new year…so why not keep your friend/mom/cousin/sister (or yourself) motivated to do so with a great gift that she will actually use.

1. Fun print workout tight ($74): I love working out in black tights, but I like this technicolor print in B&W that is still as versatile as a regular black tight. It works for almost every workout activity and the quality is A-MA-ZING- always invest in high quality workout clothes that will last for years.

2. Training Shoe ($80): what are New Year's resolutions without a good workout shoe? These are super cute (love the aqua-purple combo); and they give you a barefoot sensation that is perfect for running and for gym training.

3. Insulated Water Bottle ($28): if you have a friend that's a hiker or does Bikram Yoga , she/he is going to really appreciate this one. Because of its technology, this water bottle can keep water cold for 24 hrs or hot for 12 hrs.

4. Sprint Watch ($45): this watch is perfect for runners; it has a stopwatch, 10-lap memory and countdown timer- and the price point is great too!

5. Plus Tech Hoodie ($64): if it's freezing where you live, this hoodie is a great idea to keep warm during winter training. The material is not bulky at all, so you can layer more if needed.

6. Sport earphones ($30): I like listening to music while working out but my earphones always fall off; these are designed to never fall because of their small size (AND they are water/sweat resistant)

7. Seamless Racer Bra ($46): sportsbras do not have to be boring; adding a pop of color underneath your tank is a great way to keep your workout wardrobe fun.

8. A yoga mat ($38): this gift is especially great for yogis but it is a great gift for everyone with healthy goals for 2015, no matter their fitness level or activity- we all need to stretch out, right?.

9. Spring Tote ($79): talking about yoga mats, this tote not only helps you carry your yoga mat easily on top, but it has two internal compartments and a removable shoe bag….so no excuses to head to work after your workout session

10. Stripes Hidden agenda Tank ($64): this top is a no-brainer; the back detail and the stripes add a little bit of a fashionable vibe to any workout outfit while also providing great support.


Are you ready to start 2015 with the right foot? What would you gift a fitness lover? Share with us in the comments!
