‘Tis the season for a warm and sweet gourmand! I was thrilled when Lancome sent me their warm and sweet fragrance, Lancome La Vie est Belle edp. This cozy, floral gourmand fragrance is perfect for cooler temperatures, and the limited edition bottle is fabulous eye candy. Love!

For the holiday 2020 season, Lancome designed a sparkling bottle for their classic La Vie est Belle eau de parfum. The bottle has a sparkling little ribbon on its’ neck, and an ombre, silver glitter finish starting at the base, and thinning towards the middle. It’s festive, pretty, and wintery. This will be a beautiful bottle to keep on the counter, as well as give as a holiday gift to the fragrance fan on your list!

If you are a gourmand fan like me, you will love the heart notes of delicate Iris, tasty spun sugar, and warm vanilla. When you first spray Lancome La Vie est Belle edp on your wrist, the Iris scent will instantly capture you. Roughly five minutes into settling on your skin, a slightly spicy, and very warm scent takes over which balances out the Iris. You can detect the vanilla and sugar wrapped around the soft Iris scent. It’s pretty, warm, and ideal for cooler temperatures. This is definitely a warm and comforting scent for the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Loving it!

Lancome’s holiday 2020 beauty collection is selling fast. If you love gourmands, or have a gourmand fan on your holiday list, I highly recommend shopping early, and snapping up a bottle of this limited edition of Lancome’s La Vie est Belle edp now.

Can you believe the holiday season is so close! It is always a good idea to start thinking about holiday shopping in October. It helps us to organize our list, and solidify our budget. While this is an annual prep routine, 2020 is little bit different.

This year, online holiday shopping is expected to explode. Since many people live in areas where things haven’t fully reopened, and people are still skeptical about going out in public to do shopping, online shopping is going to be the main way people shop for the holidays. Since so many people will shopping online, delivery companies may find themselves with an overload of packages to deliver. This is expected to result in slow delivery times; which could delay the arrival of your gifts to your doorstep.

Since so many people will be flooding online shopping, it is wise to shop early in order to ensure the gifts we buy arrive in time for the holidays! I made the mistake of shopping late last year and my son’s Christmas gift arrived two days after Christmas. I cannot even begin to tell you how devastating this was for us. This year, I am starting to shop now; and I highly recommend you start too!

To kick off holiday shopping for her, I have put together an early bird holiday gift guide with fabulous gifts for her. I hope you love it! I know I do! Hopefully people who have me on their list see this 🙂 hehehehe

What are you hoping for this holiday season; in addition to political peace and a vaccine 🙂

Chanel nail polish holidays 2020

Chanel nail polish holidays 2020: Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish /

All that glitters is really gold! Chanel streamlined their holiday nail polish collection for 2020, and they hit a home run! It’s always a little tricky to only release one color for a major season, but leave it to Chanel to choose the most beautiful hue for the holiday season. Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish is the color of our dreams for the holidays. Love!

For the 2020 holidays, Chanel nail polish is a sparkling and festive gold hue. This color is perfect to take us from the beginning of the holiday season, all the way through to the new year. Now, raise your hand if you are REALLY looking forward to the new year?! I mean, was that even a question? Of course we all are!

Gold is a beautiful hue. It is a color which evokes success, prestige, luxury, prosperity, and an uplifted mood. Gold is the color we need this holiday season to make us feel special, as well as happier. After all, when we start to get vaccinated and back to our normal lives next year, we will want to feel prosperous, successful, and downright happy! Why not have our nails ahead of the curve, and ready for the sparkling new year? Love that!

I’m absolutely in love with Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish for the holiday 2020 season. It is a beautiful, sparkling gold hue which is idea for the holiday season, as well as into the new year. I cannot wait to wear it all season long and celebrate getting out of this year, and into the new one!

If you aren’t a metallic nail polish person, I highly recommend continuing to wear Chanel Interdit from the fall 2020 season. It is a beautiful, deep red which moves easily from the fall season, into the holidays. Chanel Interdit is also a classic dark red, so it’s a great color to always have in your nail polish wardrobe.
