It has been like three months since my last post...please forgive me, I've been having writers block. I have returned however to discuss the Holiday season that is upon us.
It seems every year, Christmas decor goes up earlier and earlier and quite honestly, I'm thinkin of puttin mine up in the next week or so. Cm'on, there's so much effort put into decorating for Christmas, why not get it up sooner and enjoy it longer? I just love it when my Christmas tree lights illuminates my living room, it's such a cozy, peaceful feeling.
There's a lot of work in getting ready for the holidays, especially in my industry. All of the holiday retail gift sets are to be displayed...holiday retail verbage are to be used in selling those gift sets...appointment books getting filled for all the holiday parties....shopping for gifts....getting ready for personal parties.....busy, busy, busy...
...But so much fun!
So let's talk about what's hot this holiday season...my specialty: NAILS!
Holiday nails don't change that much from year to year, just different variations of reds, golds, and silver. Here's a few of my fav holiday collections this season:
China Glaze's holiday theme is Naughty and Nice. Fun glitters like Party Hearty which is a combo of white, teal and crimson glitters; Mrs. Claus , white and red glitter; Mistletoe Kisses, teal and white glitter.
If glitter is not your thing then you may like OPI's Holiday Reds collection, featuring some of their classics like: OPI Red, Big Apple Red, Affair in Red Square and Vodka & Caviar.
SpaRitual has three new shades for Christmas: Light, Radiant and Reflection...theses are shimmers (not glitters) of white, red and gold.
How about some gift sets that are non-lacquer? Most of you know, I work at an AVEDA salon, so it's only fitting for me to discuss their holiday gifts sets this year.
Aveda's theme this season is Gifts Bright with Hope... supporting communities protecting the rainforests.
This year all of Aveda's gift sets are under $65! Their least expensive set is the Shining Lip Trio, which includes three mini lip shines and retails $21. The Sensory Treasures set includes Replenishing Body Moisturizer, Lavender Singular Note, travel-size Soothing Aqua Therapy Body Scrub and Chakra 4 Balancing Body Mist...all for just $62! Visit Aveda for more details on the other gift-sets offered this 2010 Holiday season!
Hope your holidays are bright and filled with hope this year and every year to come...happy shopping!!!!!
