Got the winter skin blues? Yea, I feel ya…with the harsh winter months my skin has been in desperate need of a little refresh + I found the perfect product to do just that, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar.
Whether your skin is feeling dull + dry or you have some scarring or stretch marks you want to clear up before the warmer weather hits, I have found that Palmer’s Cocoa Butter has been the cure to all of my problems (at least for skincare that is hehe :p). The best part? You can pick up Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar for $1 off – click HERE for details.
What I love about the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar are all of the amazing benefits it has for your skin. While using it consistently is key if you ask me, you can see results in just one use overnight.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid provides deep hydration all over. This unique formula melts into the skin, creating a protective moisture barrier that locks in moisture – this is ESSENTIAL for cold weather months!
From normal to dry to eczema prone skin, the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter rich solid formula effectively heals and softens, leaving your skin smooth, supple and beautiful. Ideal for deep moisturization, including overnight treatments – that means if you need to get glowing and moisturized legs + heels before a big event or date night, this product will be key for your wintertime skincare routine.
A little fun fact, developed in 1973, Palmer’s was the first cocoa butter product launched for the mass market! Can you believe that? Pretty awesome if you ask me. I have been using Palmer’s products for years. From lip treatments to body treatments + more, Palmer’s has become my go-to whenever my skin needs a refresher + that extra added moisture. Why does Palmer’s work? Because Cocoa Butter is a rich, natural moisturizer that hydrates and softens even the driest skin!
Get your hydration on this winter with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter…you will be happy you did!
Winter weather got ya down? Even though it has been a bit chilly here in LA, winter blues aren’t keeping me down. Instead of wearing neutral colors + always dressing cozy, I love adding a bit of chic to my winter wardrobe, especially with a great Pop Of Color like this one! 2019 is gearing up to be a busy year with business, the blog + travel so I am investing in multipurpose pieces that stand out + help me feel beautiful + confident. Funny to think a few years ago I would avoid maxi dresses like the plague (I always felt I was short + they would make me look stocky) but when I found this cobalt blue beauty it was love at first try on 😉 hehe Safe to say I will be wearing this beauty all season long + well into the spring.
I absolutely love this dress + while I got it at Rainbow Shops, I found a bunch of similar styles at varying price points below. Cobalt blue has always been a favorite color of mine. When I look at blue it just makes me happy + it really pops when you wear it!
I kept my shoes + bag simple since the dress really steals the show. You can’t go wrong with simple black ankle strap heels (definitely a pair of heels every gal should have in their wardrobe) + a classic black Gucci bag. This Gucci mini bag is great for night events, date night etc – it is convenient in size + has room for all your essentials.
Whether you are trying to find the perfect dress for NYE or even one for a girl’s night or winter date night, I am all about the gold vibes this season. I love when a holiday dress can be transitioned to year round wear, so this off the shoulder gold one is perfect. While it is festive enough for the holiday season, I will for sure be wearing this for my next date night + maybe even Valentine’s Day :p I am all about re-wearing pieces you can style over + over again.
I love this chiffon like material (although I am not one for ironing or steaming haha :p) but it is so feminine + flowy, making it one of my go-to’s. Style it with boots, style it with heels, style it with flats…it is always a must-have for every gal’s closet.
I linked to some similar styles below that are sure to stun this NYE.
As for heels, I went with my go-to nude patent leather pumps. These are ones I believe every gal should have in her shoe closet. They are perfect for work, play or just about any occasion. I say it’s worth investing ins a high end pair that will last a while since you will get a ton of use out of them.
My clutch is an oldie but a goodie. If you are looking to get a Louis Vuitton bag but at an affordable price, this clutch is perfect…it is the Toiletry Pouch 26 and retails for under $500.
♥ All Our Dreams Come True If You Have The Courage To Pursue Them – Walt Disney ♥
Close your eyes + take a moment to image visiting the happiest day on earth during the most magical time of the year…now open your eyes because it is possible! From dreamy decor to yummy treats to festive events, gifts + more, Disneyland during the Holiday Season is nothing short of magnificent.
I had the opportunity to check out all the fun the park has in store for the Holiday Season + am sharing it all with you!
DECOR + EVENTS
One of my favorite things about Disneyland year round is all of the amazing decor, so it comes as no surprise that during the Holiday Season they go ALL out! From huge Christmas trees, to gorgeous lights, wreaths + more, you will feel like you are in a Winter Wonderland, so I am rounding up some of my favorite spots.
At Disneyland one of my favorite spots is Main Street USA where the entire street is strung with lights, wreaths + at the center sits the most gorgeous Christmas Tree making for the perfect photo backdrop.
During the day you can look up and see wreaths shaped like Mickey Mouse, the huge Christmas tree, festive plants, flowers + more.
At night the street is lit up + looks like something out of a story book.
Of course another one of my favorite decor moments at Disneyland is Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. It is covered in wreaths, icicles + is glistening making for a storybook finish.
Every evening there is an enchanted show at Sleeping Beauty’s Castle where the building has a projected light display AND they even make it snow in California (talk about magical :p).
At 9:30pm every night there is a Holiday fireworks show where you can hear your favorite holiday timed perfectly to sparks in the air!
If you are looking for a breathtaking lights display, head over to the ‘It’s A Small World‘ ride. The entire outside of the ride is decked out in a rainbow display of lights that is something out of a fantasy…I definitely want to be immersed in that fairytale.
Another one of my favorite decor spots in the park is Mickey’s Toon Town. Goofy’s House is decked out for Christmas along with Mickey + Minnie’s homes as well. The bright, bold colors make Mickey’s Toon Town my go-to spot for cute instagram pics.
RIDES
ICYMI – Disneyland + California Adventure changed up some of their attractions for the Holiday Season making them a ‘must see‘ before it’s too late!
At Disneyland they switched up the traditional Haunted Mansion ride + let Jack Skeleton from Nightmare Before Christmas take over with his twist on the classic ride. The Haunted Mansion ride has always been my favorite + this festive version blew my mind. From neon displays to insane sculptures, you MUST check it out before it goes away January 9th!
It’s A Small World also got a festive upgrade during the holidays so definitely check that out to see all the new elements it has to offer.
Over at California Adventure, Cars Land is fully decked out for the holidays. Think Christmas trees made out of tires, traffic cones, hubcaps + more plus Mater’s Tow Ride got a holiday twist to make it even more fun for kiddos + adults alike.
TREATS + SHOPPING
Ok…obviously one of my favorite things to do at Disney is go shopping, especially during Holidays. The stores are stocked with festive gifts for you, your friends, family + more. We got some holiday themed Mickey + Minnie dolls, custom ornaments + stockings. Most gift shops at both parks have a customization station where you can purchase merchandise and they can go ahead + make it personalized to you.
One of my favorite things to get at Disney is new Minnie Ears each time I go + during the holiday season they have a ton of new styles to choose from like ones with faux fur, ones with snowflakes, big bows + more.
For treats, meals + desserts, each park has a variety of foods with a holiday twist. I love heading to the candy + bakery shops on Main Street USA for Mickey themed rice krispies (which were made festive with a santa hat), red + green cupcake pops, candy apples + more.
I don’t know about you but I am a HUGE popcorn buff + apparently during the holiday season Disneyland + California Adventure have exclusive holiday themed popcorn pals (I love collecting these). At Disneyland they have this adorable one of Pluto in a Christmas Sweater + at California Adventure they have one of the Alien from Toy Story with Christmas lights around him.
California Adventure also has a ton of holiday meals for their Feliz Navidid celebration which has a parade, treats, drinks + more! It’s like walking into a festive paradise. If you want to see a full roundup of the yummy food around the park, check out the guide on Disney’s site here.
Be sure to check out Disneyland’s Holiday Celebration before it’s too late. The festivities end January 9th!
I am loving all of the cozy vibes this season. Whether it’s oversized sweaters, comfy cardigans or my go-to pullovers, nothing makes me happier than SWEATER WEATHER! With Thanksgiving behind us + the holidays quickly approaching, I am super excited to spend the rest of this season in some of my favorite sweaters, like this colorblock one from Splendid LA!
I have been living in this cozy sweater ever since I got it a few weeks ago. The colorblock style makes it perfect to match with various pieces like jeans, leggings or my personal favorite, a gray skater skirt. I have loved skater skirts for as long as I could remember. They are feminine, comfortable + easy to dress up or down no matter what the occasion. I personally bought this skirt in practically every color from Amazon Fashion here.
As for my shoes…they are my newest obsession. I love a great pair of mules + these ones from Cecilia New York are legitimately the most comfortable pair of mules I have ever owned. They are great for work or play + I can be on my feet all day in these and not feel the slightest heel pain!
As for my bag…it is also my newest obsession, the Chanel I got in Las Vegas with my boo. While I adore this bag…3 weeks into wearing it I wore a black blouse and the dye from the shirt transferred onto the bag…causing me to have a full on breakdown. Luckily, I found PurseRehab here in Malibu + they are repairing her to look brand new! Can’t wait to get her back in a few weeks. #FirstWorldProblems haha
