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.

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

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

Holiday shopping without the stress of package the Holiday shopping without the stress of package theft! 👏🏻 For holiday shopping this year, l've #partnered with @myQconnect to enable all of my packages to be delivered straight to my garage thanks to the myQ Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. I love how this option helps keep my packages secure for peace of mind. One less thing to deal with during an already busy season!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
