Happy Lunar New Year! This Lunar New Year is the Year of the Snake. What can we expect from the Year of the Snake? Babies born during the Year of the Snake will be very intelligent, good conversationalists, determined, hardworking, goal orientated, kind, and perhaps a bit mysterious. In short, they will make fabulous friends! Love that!

To celebrate, I assembled a few of the best Lunar New Year gifts from around the web to give, not only to those who were born during a Year of the Snake, but also to give to anyone on your Lunar New Year list!

Or, if you are like me, you would like to give yourself the gift of lucky red. I love a fabulous lucky red handbag!

How beautiful are these lucky red handbags for the new Lunar Year! Love! I really want to snap up a new lucky red handbag, so I am leaning towards the convertible hobo bag, the slouchy bucket bag or perhaps the boxy bag; which has been on my wish list for quite some time!

All of these handbags fit into the current handbag trends for 2025 and beyond. They are anonymous, high quality, made with excellent craftsmanship, and offer the current IT bag silhouettes. In 2025 we are seeing hobo bags, slouchy bucket bags, mini bags, and more! Love these!

So, without further ado, have a fabulous and lucky Lunar New Year!

Thanks for stopping by!

Nutrius Brazilian Body Butter review

Raise your hand if you love a good body butter. Mine is way up! I love a good body butter, and these two scents by Nutrius are absolutely fabulous.

I first encountered this duo at Costco while wandering around the aisles. I was surprised to find they smell amazing and are extremely nourishing. Love that!

Since my skin gets very dry during the winter months, this body butter turned out to be a life saver. I only have to apply it once and the scent stays fresh, and my skin stays nourished without drying out again. That is the ultimate flex when it comes to body cream.

While both versions have slightly different ingredients, the only difference I notice is the scent. The fuchsia top has more of a powdery sweet fragrance while the yellow top is beachier; I assume due to the coconut. Both fragrances smell fantastic, and I have found myself addicted! Of course, as with anything at Costco, I can’t find it there anymore. Thankfully these body butters from Nutrius can be found elsewhere on the web.

I hope you enjoy these body butters!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish colors

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish color from top: Hermes nail polish / Chanel brown nail polish / Chanel medium brown nail polish /

Now that Mocha Mousse has been announced as the color of the year by Pantone, let’s look in our nail polish collections and see what we can find in the ballpark!

We have three nail polish colors from 2024 which are in the brown family and are still in stock in stores; just in case you didn’t already indulge. The nail polish color featured above are Hermes Vert Bronze, Chanel Faun, and Chanel Spirituelle. Since we don’t have to have to the exact Mocha Mousse shade this upcoming 2025 year, any hue in the brown family will do. Love that!

If you already have a favorite shade of brown, you’re good to go for the new year! If not, I recommend one of these three colors. They are neutral, play well with any outfit you put together, and will carry you through the new year. I will definitely be rotating through these three hues! I am currently rocking the Hermes color. Love it!

So, without further ado, here are a few brown shades of nail polish from around the web you will love for 2025.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more winter coverage and new year’s news!
