It is truly the most wonderful time of the year, but for many of us, it can also be the busiest time of the year. I am easily stressed (who isn’t?), so it is important for me that I take some time to rest and recharge. Self-care can be different for everyone. For some, it could be reading a book after taking a warm shower. For others, it might be eating a big bowl of macaroni and cheese while watching a Christmas movie. 🙂 I thought I’d share my personal favorite winter self-care practices with you all. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they are all beauty-related. 😉
Life
My 12 Days of Christmas is nearing an end because Christmas is almost here! I worked at the bridal boutique all day and closed up shop for Christmas. Now it is Christmas break! Nicolas took me out to dinner for some yummy Italian wedding soup and pizza to celebrate. Italian food makes me so, so happy. 🙂
Day 8 of my 12 Days of Christmas is here. I wanted to share a few photos of how I decorated my bedroom for Christmastime. I decorate my bedroom every single year! I just love making it look festive. My style has changed a bit over the years, and I definitely prefer a more classic and minimalistic look now (as compared to the over-the-top Christmas vibe I used to go for. Haha)
We’ve made it to Day 6! Christmas is so soon. I can’t believe it! Today was a fun and busy day. My sister and I went to get our nails done for Christmas and shared a pizza for lunch. This evening we went Christmas shopping with my dad, and then I wrote out the very last of my Christmas cards! I was afraid I wouldn’t get this post up in time, but I made it. 🙂
Welcome to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas! In case you missed it, yesterday’s post was all about my bridal shower outfit. Today is all about the actual bridal shower! My mom and sisters planned the loveliest Christmas tea party in a beautiful venue overlooking the lake. It was perfect!
I am so thrilled to be sharing this post. Nicolas and I have found our dream wedding venue, and I simply couldn’t wait until the wedding to write about it! In case you didn’t read my last post about our wedding cake, we are getting married in Pittsburgh! It is a beautiful city not too far from where we (and the rest of my family) live, and there is an international airport that makes it easy for Nicolas’s family to fly in.
