Christmas Decor Makes Me Happy

December 8, 2012

We’ve actually had almost all of our Christmas decorations up since Thanksgiving Day.  It’s one of the traditions in our house.  After we eat our Thanksgiving meal we start the decorating process.  Since then, I’ve added a few new things here and there.  I thought I’d share a few of our decor items for this year.
Our Christmas tree and village

Christmas village that my kids put out every year near the tree.  They add a new house every year.

Yes, I already put these in a previous post.  That’s because I am LOVING these sequin and glitter candles that are in the candelabra on my fireplace hearth in the tv room.

Decorated mantel by the kitchen table.  The presents light up.

If you live in Texas then you know Santa likes to wear his finest cowboy attire.
A decorated mantel in my kitchen.

It has been quite warm here in Texas.  However, a few days from now we actually have a chance of snow.  A sprinkling of snow, that is.  The Dallas area is a funny place with the weather.  It just depends  on the direction of the wind in determining the temperature.  One day we have 75 degrees and the next it could be 35 degrees.  I’m looking forward to the cold for a few days.  It feels more like Christmas when it’s actually cold.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far!!

    So pretty! The temps have been the same way in Kentucky lately. I’ve had the windows open the last few days and now there is a small chance of snow in the forecast but the temps are going to drop! Sending love to you and your family this Christmas!

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!
