Merry šŸŽ„Christmas, Happy Chanukah šŸ•Ž and ā€¦

Whatever you celebrate I wish you a beautiful day and holiday season.

Iā€™m back and have a chance to breathe and slow down. Wow! What a whirlwind it has been on my end. Itā€™s truly called ā€œholidazeā€ for a reason.

I loved helping my clients shop for the holidays and to treat themselves and shop for someone else. I love ā¤ļø serving them a glass of bubbly or champagne and serve them some healthy yummy bites like Brie and vegetables, nuts and fruit. A few sweets on the side canā€™t hurt.

I also love to make them laugh and put a smile šŸ˜Š on their face! One idea I love to do when entertaining is thisā€¦

Looking for a few good men?

My clients and friends are too.

I love serving them gingerbread men on a silver platter. I brand I love ā¤ļø and is so delicious is from the Stauffer Biscuit Company I found at the Dollar General store. But I ā€™m sure other stores carry them. I am picky about the taste of my gingerbread men and brand.

Only the best for my clients and friends!

On display I place a sign that reads ā€œ Looking for a few good menā€ next to the silver platter of gingerbread cookies. They get such a kick out of it. Sometimes the simplest things are the best!

I also like to make my home smell amazing with a tease of the scent of gingerbread. Since Iā€™m not baking gingerbread cookies from scratch the house does not smell like them but you can make an Aromatic Holiday Elixir in your home by simmering a pot of this.

What you will need for this fragrant DIY is:

A few drops of gingerbread essential oil

1 small orange sliced

2 cinnamon sticks

1 sprinkle of nutmeg

Add to a small saucepan filled with water. Place on low heat. Simmer away.

Your home šŸ” will smell awesome and feel cozy too!

Serve some hot cocoa and youā€™re all set. Marshmallows on top of course and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

I hope you enjoy these ideas! All the decorations, twinkling lights, eat yummy things and have fun šŸ¤© with friends and family. Life isnā€™t quite the same anymore but we have so much to be grateful for!

Life happens!

Oh how I have missed YOU and blogging too! I know Iā€™ve been ā€œmissing in actionā€. It is so unlike me not to post as I love sharing all things beauty,travel and foodie with you.

I have been traveling āœˆļø for work and play. Puerto Rico, California, Palm Beach šŸ Florida. Oh what glorious fun! When I work I always fit in time to enjoy a city and add a day or two of adventure and fun!

But with travel and a busy schedule comes a chance of getting a cold or worse. So I started to get symptoms of a cold. I went to the doctor right away to nip it! They gave me cough medicine and antibiotics. Itā€™s wasnā€™t fun! But it wasnā€™t Covid or the flu that is going around.

After that came an unexpected late in the season hurricane in šŸŒ“Florida! All whirling around while I was sick in bed.

I had to get back to work as soon as I could for Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday days at my beauty bungalow. So I did but then who knew? Iā€™d be bit by three angry WASPS šŸ three different days. My leg swelled like a killer whale. I was limping with laryngitis too as the upper respiratory infection wasnā€™t done with me too!

My husband loved that part! All I could do was squeak. So tough!

So you see Iā€™ve really been through hell and back. Iā€™m tired from all the medications and trying to work and keep it all together. I have to take care of my clients and their holiday shopping needs with my Beauty Elves at my business.

I do want to share some beauty & foodie recipes with you but Iā€™ve got to work. I have not even begun Christmas & Chanukah shopping yet. How about you? Are you in a holidaze and going crazy right now too?

If you areā€¦ I hear you and am right there with you! Hang in there.
