Holiday Do’s & Don’ts
Are you staying put this month and enjoying the holidays at home, or traveling to celebrate with family?
Either way, there’s a good chance you’re crazy busy over the next few weeks! I’ve put together a few simple key reminders during this hectic (but incredible) season. I know I’m more than guilty of a few of them! I hope you enjoy!
Holiday Don’t:
Stay out too late & sleep in your makeup.
Holiday Do:
Prepare ahead of time! Bring a larger purse so you can stick your favorite makeup wipes (or makeup removing balm) in it for the holiday parties that go later than expected.
Pro Tip: Take your makeup off in the car ride home, so you don’t have to mess with it once you arrive at your home and you’re too tired!
Holiday Don’t:
Stress pick your face.
Holiday Do:
We’ve all been there. I totally get it. But if you’re stressing over your complexion, resist the urge to dig at your face and instead throw on your favorite exfoliating face mask for a nice scrub. Your skin will thank you!
Holiday Don’t:
Overdue the dry shampoo.
Holiday Do:
If washing, blowdrying, and styling your hair several days in a row seems like too much work, consider going heatless for a holiday get together or two! Skip the drying & styling part, and use a leave-in conditioner, de-frizzing product (the CC Cream is currently the Product Of The Month, score!) and an Air Dry Cream.
Wash your hair, apply your products, and sleep in loose braids for effortless waves, or let your hair air dry and then use a Waver Tool to quickly touch it up.
Holiday Don’t:
Totally abandon your beauty routine while traveling.
Holiday Do:
The key is planning ahead! Even if that means running to Walgreens the day before you leave for your holiday travel, and grabbing a few of those airport-friendly mini bottles for your skincare goodies. You’ll feel your best when you remember to bring your own, trusted products when you’re away!
Pro Tip: Grab the travel sized Holiday Gift Set before December 14th and custom build your own travel skincare lineup. Crisis averted!
Holiday Don’t:
Attempt to run off of zero Zzz’s.
Holiday Do:
This one is tough to avoid, especially if you’re hosting tons of people, or traveling. You may not be able to scale back your Christmas plans, but you can ensure you have a restful night’s sleep with the Sleep Drops I swear by. They help you get to bed more quickly and stay asleep longer.
Holiday Don’t:
Bring that horrible swap gift to your family party.
Holiday Do:
Snag one of the four Holiday Gift Sets; they’re so, so good this year and they make the perfect gifts. Grab the hand lotion set, the gorgeous lip oils, or the fun kit that has the facial wand, hydrating face masks, and the gel eye masks in it.
Grab them before they’re gone on 12/14.
