Still one of the most beautiful bronzers in my collection! This one has a gel type consistency that glides on really smoothly. There’s also so much product in it that it’ll last you forever. Not to be confused with the Airbrush Bronzer , this is the Beautiful Skin Sunkissed Bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury. Both of them are amazing but do two different jobs. This one has a bit of a cooler undertone, meaning it’s closer to an actual contour product. The Airbrush Bronzer is really warm without turning orange, for a warmer glow. You could technically use both together, I dare ya.

Make sure to measure your space to make sure this tree will fit! It’s 62 inches wide and very full. It’s not really a corner tree. It has to sparkle and shine and stand out on its own. ✨

The right kitchen tools matter. I didn’t realize how impactful a quality set of knives could be—from slicing lemons for homemade lemonade to those clean, satisfying cuts through a pan of fudgy brownies.

Old World Christmas will always have my heart. ✨

I've been giving ornaments new life with layered finishes inspired by antique European ironwork. The aged gunmetal patina feels like something discovered in a centuries-old château, and I love how dramatic they look mixed with greenery, velvet ribbon, and candlelight.

I'm linking these crown ornaments and other Old World Christmas favorites that capture this same timeless style.

🖤 Save this for your Christmas decorating inspiration.

Gorgeous and classic. If you’re loving for a nostalgic Christmas tree, this is the one. I love the twinkle lights and embellishments, but there’s nothing like a classic tree. This one’s from Balsam Hill and it’s been around for so long. It’s thy kind of tree that you can stuff full or barely adorn and it’ll look beautiful. 🌲

#LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

The Grand Duchess’ greatest feature is definitely the twinkle mode. The lights are not super warm or cool, they’re bright though. Worth it for this mode alone? Yep. Stock is running a bit low on the 9 foot. Don’t miss out on a true gem like this. ♥️

Vintage luxe, but do it yourself style. ✨

I love Leben Riebe’s Christmas trees and vintage style, and it inspired me to create my own version. ✨

I took a wire cutter to an old tree and snipped branches until it resembled an open and airy shape. Then I adorned it with hundreds of candlelight toned incandescent bulbs and layers of pearl, white and crystal ornaments.

I truly love a good diy. ✨ the lights I used are linked, along with an LED version that gets really close to this soft golden warmth. ✨

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKSeasonal

The first evening is always my favorite. 🤍

Lowe's holiday collection is officially here, and this one immediately reminded me of my grandma's Lowe’s Christmas tree. She’s had it for years with zero issues, and it’s actually one of my favorite trees to decorate due to its fullness and ease of shaping. ✨
If you're looking for that classic flocked tree with warm white and multicolor lights, the Kensington is for you. It’s another gem that’s under 500 dollars. ✨

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKmomlife

The King Flock is one of the fullest flocked trees I've ever styled. Its sturdy branches easily supported my handmade ornaments and tree shelves while still leaving room for ribbon and extra lights sources.

Three tips for cohesive, beautiful makeup looks! So many products out there, but there are a few strategic things you can do to make sure it all blends together and looks beautiful. ♥️

Starting with eyes, I’ll leave recommendations for my favorite kohl eyeliners below. Run it on the inner curve of the eyes to meld your lashes to falsies for a dramatic but neutral look.

Mixing moisturizer into your foundation will help to smooth it out and help it melt into your skin. No demarcation lines, no caked look, just coverage that looks like real skin. ♥️ Moisturizers I love for this technique below.

Lip exfoliation is something everyone should do, it’s highly underrated I think! Use a toothbrush and swipe it gently back and forth across the lips for around 20 seconds. It’ll bring a plumping sensation naturally and make your lips appear fresh. Then apply your lip products as normal. Linking my favorite lip exfoliator below, you’ll love it!

#LTKBeauty #LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare

Monochromatic vintage Christmas tree vibes. 🤍

A sparse Christmas tree like this can be hard to find, but when you do, experiment with a classy mix of pearl, crystal and white ornaments. It’s a really peaceful, airy silhouette that shows off your favorite long ornaments. Linking some @Wayfair favorites you can buy to fill up your trees with this December. ♥️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Christmas is upon us, so why not make some provisions now for all the holiday moments and memories to come?

These are a few of my favorite products from @MacKenzie-Childs for hosting guests and or making hot cocoa for me and my family. ❤️

Cherry Check Breakfast bowls are so cute and versatile. I use them to serve soup, cereal, ice cream, popcorn and in this case, to hold marshmallows. ♥️

The Courtly Check Tea Kettle is MC’s gold standard, it’s sturdy and beautiful and comes in two or three quart sizes. If you’re making hot cocoa from a powder mix, put it in the mug and then pour your hot water right over!

Their big Barn Sale is coming up, so now might be the perfect time to treat yourself to a gift for you now or your loved ones later. Or both, don’t let me tell you you have to choose. 🤣

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKfoodie

Hair details from this look! Sleek Hollywood waves are my favorite. Her hair moved so beautifully on stage. Only a few products pulled this entire look together. I first curled her entire head with a smaller iron, around .75 inches. Then I combed the curls out a bit with a wide toothed comb, followed by a full brush out with a paddle brush. A luminous styling cream + a dry oil gave her a weightless shine that kept any flyaways at bay. ✨

Cruelty free complexion loves at @Sephora? I got you covered. Literally lol. Too Faced Born This Way foundation and concealer are super high coverage and comfortable on the skin. Haus Labs has a beautiful shade range and finish on the skin. Danessa Myricks Colorfix is a multitasking product that’s second to none for under painting, highlighter and stunning eye looks. Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin is truly a foundation that wears and feels like skin. Another one with a fabulous shade range. Take this as a sign to re up on your complexion products!

A Pullman loaf pan gives the best results for bread baking! It gives shape, structure and that bakery look that’s so satisfying. I tend to bake my loaves without the top on because I want maximum rise. But you can definitely leave the top on for the perfect bake and a classic sandwich bread silhouette. They have these beauties on Amazon, they’re on Prime Day sale and definitely worth picking up!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKHome

I will never use scissors for creative projects again. 🤣

My Cricut is my best friend, honestly. It opens up a whole world of projects that I could never make at home before. When it comes to home decor, kitchen accessories and designing for holiday time, this machine pays for itself in spades.

I’m currently working on Christmas projects prototypes and I cannot wait to share. Until then, now’s your sign to buy a Cricut and start creating! I got mine from @Michaels in the Sage color and I love it! It’s the Maker 4, which is going to give you the max capacity for creating. Don’t sleep on the Explore though, it was my first Cricut and I still love it! Both are on sale, so you can’t go wrong with either. 💙 Once you buy it, take some time to learn everything, make lists of what you want to do and just enjoy the process. 🤩
