Give the Gift of Good Skin with Dermalogica

I have shared about my love for Dermalogica on Instagram before – I use a variety of their products every morning and evening, and I love how clean and moisturized they make my face. I am definitely a true brand loyalist! I wanted to convert Sydney, so I asked her to try two of their limited edition holiday gift sets – the AGE smart Daily Defenders and the AGE smart Lip Smoothing Duo – to see what she thought. Spoiler alert: she loved them. More details below!


It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am ready to start thinking about buying everyone on my list their Christmas gifts. I have been listening to Christmas music since the day after Halloween, and even though I’ve been itching to decorate the tree, I’ve held back and waited until Thanksgiving was over. Now all that’s left to do is trim the tree and stock up on the gifts.

I am obsessed with finding new skincare products and sharing them with my girlfriends and my mom for Christmas. Every year I gather up my favorite products and share them with the ladies in my life! I especially love finding new products that help reduce wrinkles and makes me look younger, so I was so excited to try Dermalogica’s AGE smart Daily Defenders and AGE smart Lip Smoothing Duo after hearing Ailee speak so highly of their other products.

2016 Gift Guide for Stocking Stuffers (Under $25!)

My sweet mom Santa still fills everyone’s stockings, but as of two years ago, my older sister started doing hers and I am going to contribute this year too! I love the idea of cute, but inexpensive stocking stuffers that are actually things people would use, not just toss away. Here are nine of my favorite finds under $25!

Fun matches, like these from Anthropologie ($8), this amazing disco ball ornament from CB2 ($1.95), this Swedish sea salt soap from West Elm ($5.50), or this Voluspa mini candle from Anthropologie ($8) would make anyone’s Christmas morning. I also adore this pink unicorn ornament, this glass tree and this candle holder– all $9.95 from CB2 (great deals!). 

2016 Gift Guide for the Decorator

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I’m so excited to head to my parents house tomorrow morning and spend the day with everyone (most importantly, my little sister’s new puppy, Colt). I hope you have fun Thanksgiving plans too.

Today’s gift guide is aimed at the person in your life who loves interior design and decorating. Whether it’s this beautiful gold bar cart (currently $40 off!), this unique rose gold lamp (currently $15 off!), or this Howdy door mat, anyone who enjoys sprucing up spaces would be thrilled to receive those gifts. 

2016 Gift Guide for the Athlete

Did y’all love Amanda’s guest post yesterday as much as I did? I am ordering Sasha some of those items for Christmas (given that he’s my number one reader, I can’t say much else!). I’m a little late in publishing today’s gift guide, as I’ve got a sick little toddler at home who was up all night being sick! It’s the saddest thing when your kid(s) is sick, but I don’t hate the extra snuggles.

Today’s guide is aimed at the athlete (or fitness lover, as I’m not very athletic but love to workout!). There are so much cute fitness gifts that I had a hard time narrowing them down, but here are a few of my favorites.

2016 Gift Guide for the Fashion-Forward Guy

Today, I’ve asked one of my best friends, Amanda, to share a gift guide that she created! Amanda’s husband, Scott, is definitely a fashion-forward guy – he always looks very dapper (a perfect match for his very stylish wife!). You may remember Amanda and Scott from their wedding last year – I posted about it here and their shower here. Amanda is going to be starting a blog soon, and I cannot wait to share details about it. 

So, without further adieu, here are some suggestions that Amanda (and Scott!) put together to help you shop for the fashion-forward guy in your life!
