Oh hello summer! The sun is shining, iced coffee is the order of choice, bikinis are emerging from the back of closets and jet-setters are leaving on summer holidays. Summer is pure bliss in my humble opinion.

However, summer also means a change in both outdoor and indoor temperatures (hello Heat to AC and back to heat), a change in humidity and spending more time outdoors in the sunshine, which all tend to affect my skin. As such, a skincare seasonal change is necessary.

From a cleanser made with whole cucumbers to an eye cream that's been a royal secret for over 2 centuries, today I'm sharing a July beauty edit of my current skincare favorites for summer. With colors inspired by the blue and green waters of the Aegean Sea from my recent Honeymoon in the Greek Islands (post coming soon!), these beauty and skincare products, just like summer and Greece, are pure bliss!

Gifts to Surprise and Delight: Our Holiday Gift Guide

Happy Holidays from snowy Seattle! Last night brought some of the first snow to our beautiful City and as I sit writing this, most of the snow still hasn't melted! I've spent the day drinking mugs of hot chocolate and staring out the window at the oh-so-lovely winter white blanketing my neighborhood and City (yes staring out the window, because it is way to cold to head outside). It's definitely gotten me in the holiday spirit, making today the perfect day to share this year's holiday gift guide with you! 

Filled with gifts to surprise and delight, this year's holiday gift guide has something for everyone on your list! I've even included a few things you might want to consider as #treatyoself gifts, because we all deserve a little self care during the holidays. Speaking of #treatyoself, be sure to check back next week for a very special giveaway, worth over $500, that includes many of the items found in our holiday gift guide! Because 'tis the season!
