I have to admit it… I’m completely smitten with my MacKenzie-Childs enamel teacups 🤍✨ They’re one of those everyday little luxuries that somehow make even a quick cup of tea feel special. The hand-painted patterns, the charm, the heirloom energy-they never get old.

Mackenzie Childs teacups are magical. They make my nighttime trees habit feel a bit more elevated. I need to collect all the colors, and so do you. 🖖🏾 They make the most gorgeous gifts too. 😻

Sunday Riley Autocorrect is one of the only eye creams I think really does work! The first ingredient is caffeine, which is what time wakes up the under eye area and firms it too. It’s a bit pricy, but you’ll only use a little each day! Obviously you should get as much good sleep as possible, but using this daily may help to keep you under eyes smooth and healthy looking!

Seasonal discoveries. 🎀

Ribbon in a Christmas tree is something I’ll always love. When I couldn’t find the color or fabric type that I wanted, I decided to make it myself.

Here’s the thing: my ribbon didn’t end up perfect, but I stretched my creativity, learned more patience and trusted God to help me create. So sometimes it’s better to spend time for discernment rather than money for products. Everything in its place and time, of course. But when you get the longing to create, never ignore it. You never know what you’ll learn. ✨

Everything I used to make this ribbon is linked here. Please message me if you have questions on the step by step process !

Quiet moments. 🕯️

I am in love with decorating slowly, with intention & a mind to cherish every moment. This was my first year adorning my King Flock tree from @kingofchristmas , and there was something so magical about decorating it.

I got the prelit version with 1100 warm white LED lights, and they glow so beautifully at night. A splash of taper candles, handmade ornaments and custom shelves brought this romantic, old world style Christmas look to life.

This tree will bring all the gorgeous holiday vibes to your life. It’s linked in my LTK and this tree is currently on sale for Cyber Monday. 🤍

Holiday baking and cooking is incredible with Le Crueset. The Chef’s Oven is my favorite for large meals that cook evenly and beautifully every time. Cast iron for the win in the kitchen, every day. 🎀 This one I’m cooking with is the Signature Chef’s Oven in Cerise. It’s on Cyber Monday sale, down to 289 from 480! 😻🙋🏾‍♀️💕

I’m actually so excited to share this project with you. 🖤 I need you to know that you CAN have the most custom pieces in your home for the holiday season and beyond! It just takes some time and the right products! These vintage style photo frames are perfect wall art. I used dollar store frames, legit use whatever you already have and don’t use. Repurposing decor is the best way to save money and find different ways to display what you’ve already got. ❤️ My hero product from this l lineup is my Canon Pixma color printer The colors are super true and vibrant, and it’s just the best printer ever. Message me with any questions you have!

Designing my Christmas home consists of a lot of artisan work! I’m turning this reclaimed wooden box my husband made me into a family crest box. I utilize the easiest and fastest methods that I can, but it still takes time and grace to make these sorts of projects! The key to repurposing is Redeaign with Prima moulds, I LOVE them so much. I use resin as my medium and the kind I get only takes ten minutes to set. The paint I love is inexpensive too. You could easily find a piece you want to revamp, buy these key products for under 50 dollars and create something beautiful as soon as this weekend! Let me know if you love your repurpose your home decor as much as I do during the holidays!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKdayinmylife

Still the one. Modern Renaissance has the dreamiest edit of warm shades and transition colors for every skin tone. The mattes are rich and velvety, the shimmers have stunning color payoff. What not could you want? Anastasia Beverly Hills has a lot of new makeup that’s come and gone, but this is definitely staple status. ❤️

Tocca fragrances are just beautiful. Stella and Florence are my favorites! Stella is sophisticated and flirty, and Florence is more organic and floral. If you’re in the beauty section at Nordstrom, give these fragrances a sniff and take one (or both) home. These make the classiest holiday gifts, and the scents actually layer beautifully. ✨

#LTKHoliday #LTKBeauty #LTKGiftGuide

Organic waves and curls like the ones you see here on Ashleigh come from a combo of products and techniques. I used the Beachwaver here, and I didn’t make the curl too tight. I sort of pulled the hair smooth as I let the curl out, if that makes sense. Then I went in with The Ouai and Oribe products and detailed get steamers with my hands. To get this look at home, turn your head upside down, spray the underside of your hair and really take your fingers through. More manipulation equals better results!

Woodland warmth + Bronzed glow. ✨

A forest reimagined: rich evergreen shadows, bronzed glow, and a little holiday magic caught between the branches. ✨

I LOVE the Tribeca Spruce Blue tree from @kingofchristmas , it looks like it’s just been transported from the forest and planted in my art loft. ✨

Save this one if you love a woodsy and warm Christmas aesthetic. 🖖🏾

Glossier favorites! Boy Brow is a tried and true staple on any makeup lover’s kit! It’s the tiny applicator that lifts every hair and sets it in place for me. ♥️ The Stretch Concealer now comes in so many shades, and it’s a very natural and non cakey formula. And Balm Dot Com is the ultimate fresh lip balm and skin salve, super moisturizing. There are lots of scent options, but I prefer the clear and unscented version. These products will always have my trust and a place in my professional makeup kit! Make them yours from Sephora, the shipping times are fast and accurate even in these busy holiday months. 🎀

#LTKBeauty #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50

Anastasia Beverly Hills favorites! The Brow Definers are perfect for a quick, structured brow. The slanted tip can make either hair like strokes or bold fills. The Glow Kits are beautiful for a glowing completion. I even use these on the eyes for an extra twinkle over the center of the eye. The Gleam kit pictured has been discontinued, but the ones I use a lot are Sugar and Sundipped. I would consider Sugar to be great for light to medium skin tones, and Sundipped for medium to deep! All the skin tones can wear these. Love it.😍

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Statement lips come alive every holiday season. Get a look like Roxy’s with Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks. They glide on and after a few seconds of dry time will not budge. My only tip would be to no leave the face completely bare. Do a really nice shot of bronzer all over the face to add back definition, and do your brows for sure. This is a pretty nice shortcut look, you can do less and have a bigger payoff.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Adding unique light sources adds warmth and depth to your Christmas tree! I got this pack of LED tapered candles and I want a million more for sure. 🤣 They come with a fishing wire attached so you can suspend them from the ceiling instead of in the actual tree. It’s up to your preference and needs. They are absolutely beautiful and add so much to your holiday decor!

#LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

Glam to the max with minimal product. This look consisted of a few key products: always put a glowing highlighter or beauty oil underneath makeup to bring out the brightness in the under eye and center of the face areas! I used Gleam by Melanie Mills under her foundation, which was really concealer mixed with moisturizer. My favorite combo that replaces full coverage foundation most of the time. I’m linking my face concealers for all skin tones here. ✊🏾 Her highlighter was the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Sundipped, and I structured her brows with the ABH Brow Powder. Lips were just a liner smudged all over in a neutral shade. ♥️ It’s all linked here! 👇🏾

The gift he won’t return. 🎁🔥
If he loves flavor, weekends outdoors, or claiming “grill master” status… the Weber Smoky Mountain is the upgrade. Slow-smoked brisket, ribs, wings, even veggies—this smoker handles it all with rich, restaurant-level flavor.
Perfect for the man who already “has everything” (except this).

My Christmas muse. 😻 introducing the King Flock by King of Christmas! It’s 9 feet tall, absolutely stunning with 1100 warm white LED lights. A special tip I have for you is to go through an detail the lights once you have it all fluffed. Just make sure they’re all turned outward so that they’ll sparkle an stand out, even when you’ve put everything on the tree. ✨ KOC is having a pretty sweet sale right now, head over to the website via this link and pick out a beautiful new tree. You will absolutely love it. 😍
