How cool are these holiday gift sets! If you love fragrance, or have someone on your holiday list who loves fragrance, this is the gift for them! The hand cream gift set offers four fabulous fragrances she will love to keep on rotate. Plus, they are travel sized, so the set can also double as travel beauty. Love that!

In addition to hand cream, the fragrance gift set not only lets you try three fragrances from Nopalera, the set also contains travel size fragrances, so you can pop one or more in your carry-on and smell fabulous while on vacation. Or, if you have a travel buff on your holiday gift list, she will love these travel size fragrances.

Nopalera is an ultra-cool beauty company with products made in the USA with Mexican flavor. The fragrances offer fruity notes and cozy woods. My favorite is Dulce de Cuerpo! I love the nourishing hand cream, which applies smoothly without being greasy. These are great to give to ourselves, use as stocking stuffers, or give as a main gift. Love them!

You can find the hand cream gift set online here, and the fragrance gift set online here.

Winter skin care must haves 2025

Winter skin care must haves: Nutrius body butter / L’Occitane hand cream / Sol de Janeiro body butter / Nutrius body butter / L’Occitane serum-en-creme / L’Occitane hand cream /

There is something very dry about winter; despite the rain, fog and snow! The heaters inside buildings and the wind outside all contribute to creating a dry environment. This means ensuring we use products which not only moisturize but create a barrier on our skin in order to protect us from the drying elements.

I alternate between several body creams/body butters. This is due to the fact that they have difference fragrances, so I wear the one with the fragrance which suits my mood that day! haha I love both Sol de Janeiro and Nutrius body butters. They are both fragrant and moisturizing. When I use them, I can tell there is a barrier on my skin which protects it from getting dry during the winter season. Love that!

In addition to the drying elements, constant hand washing can really take a toll on our hands. I love both of these hand creams by L’Occitane because they too protect and repair my dry skin during the winter season. Love!

So, if you are looking for something fragrant and protective, I got you covered!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

L’Occitane Vanilla Bouquet

L’Occitane hand cream is an oldie but a goodie. If you searched for the perfect, non-greasy hand cream early in your life, you most certainly came across L’Occitane hand cream. It is famous for it’s non-greasy formula and its’ ability to repair hands. But, did you know there are additional scents beyond the standard shea butter fragrance? There are!

My absolute favorite scent from the L’Occitane hand cream collection is Vanilla Bouquet. You might think this is a traditional vanilla bean fragrance, but I can assure, it is not. In fact, L’Occitane Vanilla Bouquet does not really smell like vanilla at all. It is a very soft, floral scent which is light and works well all year long. I am in love with it!

In addition to L’Occitane hand cream in vanilla bouquet, there are additional skin care products with this scent. I am currently loving the body cream, which is thick and moisturizing, as well as beautifully scented! Love!

If you are looking for hand cream which does its’ job, and accompanying skin care products, you might fall in love with L’Occitane hand cream in vanilla bouquet. I know I did!

So, without further ado, I rate L’Occitane hand cream vanilla bouquet five out of five stars! Love it!

Have you tried L’Occitane hand cream yet? If not, I highly recommend giving it a try. It quickly repairs hands and has been a favorite since the 1990s.

Thanks for stopping by!
