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.

Evening walks in the neighborhood with the fam! An Evening walks in the neighborhood with the fam! And carrying around this big 8 month nugget really turns the walk into a workout!! 

Picked up a few clothing items this week including this two-tone dress which I LOVE! And love it with my new sandals of the summer 🤩☀️
Looking back from some photos when I was first pre Looking back from some photos when I was first pregnant with Oliver and it’s so crazy how little Harrison looks!! Where does the time go, where did my baby go? Does anyone else feel like you blink and it disappears?
With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to hi With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to his big boy bed, I’m not exactly getting 8 hours of sleep each night #ad 

Lately I’ve been making a point to optimize my sleep quality to help make up for my lack in quantity right now. That means optimizing my routine with small changes to help wind down before bed: 

- I’m putting my phone on sleep mode to keep me from spending too much time on it before bed. 

- I’m using red light only an hour before bed to support my circadian rhythms. 

- I’m supplementing with melatonin to achieve better sleep. @zzzquil’s PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies include the optimal amount of melatonin so I don’t wake up feeling groggy* the next morning. 

You can find PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies at your favorite local retailer - check out my story to see how you can join the #BetterSleepin12Zzz campaign too!

#ad We are getting so close to finishing the 30A B #ad We are getting so close to finishing the 30A Beach House (trust me... this place will be looking so different in 48 hours 😅) and we are cleaning up from our renovation while we decorate. I just got the new @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner at home and had to get one for here too! I love the more sustainable swap where you can just refill, reload, and reuse. So helpful to have one cleaner that works on all my surfaces too, like sealed granite, glass, appliance exteriors, etc. with 10x the cleaning power*! Purchase today at Target #CloroxRefillableCleaners @clorox 

*Use as directed. *Can be used on stainless steel, glass, appliance exteriors, fiberglass, formica, sealed granite, glazed porcelain, acrylic, sealed hardwood, and laminate floors.

I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.
