Lacquered Up

As I continue my holiday shopping and hunt for perfect gifts for family and friends, I have one major problem: self gifting.  Its quite challenging to avoid the tempting sales and discounts when your misson is to only think of others.  Yesterday I resisted the urge to snatch up a gorgeous purple cashmere J.Crew sweater but instead walked my fingertips past it to the nail polish display.  It was the perfect holiday pick-me-up!  This bright nail lacquer gave my style a boost, was less damaging to my bank account than the cashmere sweater (its called CASHmere for a reason, right?) and gave my holiday outfits a punch of color and glaze to polish off my looks (no pun intended….no, seriously!).

Satisfied with my mini holiday treat and new mani, I went home and did some reasearch to find my top picks for holiday nail lacquers to dazzle and delight.  Try one of these knockout shades to complete your look!  Plus, you get the opportunity to admire your glossy nails while wrapping all those gifts…

  1. Butter London Nail Lacquer in Knees Up
  2. Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Stardust
  3. Butter London Nail Lacquer in British Racing Green
  4. Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Dark Side of the Moon
  5. Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Diamonds and Pearls
  6. Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Between the Sheets
  7. Butter London Nail Lacquer in Scoundrel
  8. Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Candy Shop

What different ways do you indulge in mini holiday gifts for yourself?

      Hey Rachel! I love the look of glitter nailpolish but I have a really hard time getting it to come off, have you noticed that? I love giving gifts to friends and family… so I try my best to stay focused on them during the holidays.

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
