Cozy Winter Favorites + Helpful Tips

sweater and leggings

Winter weather can certainly make you feel a little less than bubbly at times. It’s important to keep these tips and favorites in mind to make the most out of the season. I personally struggle during this time of year so I know how important it is to equip myself to stay positive and focused!

Keep moving – It’s so easy to turn into a couch potato when it’s cold outside. Trust me, I am no admirer of bitter cold weather. I would much rather stay wrapped up inside by the fire, which that’s important too. But, it’s so important to push yourself. Your body needs movement. Find what you love and go do it. The more blood you keep pumping the better it is not only for your heart but your immune system. And after all, summer bodies are truly made in the winter!

Call your mom – Or dad, brother, or significant other you get the picture. Your mood is naturally boosted when you have a comforting conversation with someone you love. Share a funny story or reminisce about a past one. You will end up smiling which naturally helps when you may be feeling blue! I make a point to talk to someone in my family everyday!

Eat your greens – Y’all I am here to confess that my diet has been well, in the absolute gutter. And, guess what, I have felt like crap. It’s so true you are what you eat. But hey, don’t beat yourself up. Just start making daily changes and in thirty days you will have a new healthy habit and be back on track. For me, I make certain that I eat at least one handful of greens daily and an apple. It’s amazing how much better my body and gut feels just by taking this simple step!

Watch a movie – Shay and I are avid movie watchers. And, like I mentioned about getting wrapped up and cozy by the fire that is also important. At least once a week, set aside a movie night whether that’s at home or maybe a trip to the theater. Movies can truly transcend and leave you feeling more relaxed and happy. This month at home we have watched Dirty Dancing, Road House(gotta love the 80’s), Malifecent 2 and Ocean’s 11. We took in Dr. Doolittle at the theater and Bad Boys for Life is on deck!

Treat yourself – Go buy a new outfit, get some lashes, a massage or whatever makes you feel better about yourself! I can’t tell you how many times when winter days have had me down that Shay has encouraged me to go and just get a mani and pedi. My entire day turned around just by showing myself some love!

Planning for a Job or Career Change

Last week, I shared WHY you should quit your job. If you missed it, I encourage you to read here before proceeding with this post. Now, once you’ve reached the decision that it’s time for change, you’re faced with what to do next. In lieu of top nine, I’ve listed my top five successful tips and strategies that will guide you in your journey. As a current recruiter, and someone who has implemented these steps, they have certainly proved to be beneficial and I hope they will do the same for you!

  1. Evaluate – take some time to understand who you are and what you really want to do. Look at your skills, what you have accomplished and what really motivates you. Additionally, I suggest taking a free online assessment such as the Myers Briggs. Those types of assessments will help define your personality style and skill sets. It will also suggest the type of industries best aligned with your abilities. Even if you have taken assessments like this one years ago, take it again. Chances are you may notice a different outcome, especially now that you have arrived at this stage in life that desires change!
  2. Research – once you target the industry or organizations you are now interested in, do your homework. Take time to not only read reviews online, but reach out to connections that work there. Do not blindly start applying for companies or positions that you are not familiar with. More to come on this later, but the likelihood of that resulting in success is slim.
  3. Network – use your resources to seek out opportunities. Regardless of the size of your city, the “good ole boy system” still works. It’s often so resourceful to know someone that can not only give you honest insight, but can also provide a referral. I can honestly tell you that with EVERY job I have had since I graduated college, this has proven to be beneficial for me. I have had some type of referral or connection to each and every position that I have had. IT WORKS!!!
  4. LinkedIn – update your profile. According to Google, LinkedIn has over 575 million users with 260 million active users on a monthly basis. Hello online network! Build your connections. Update your picture as well as your background. Employers will notice these items. They are looking for professionally engaged individuals that are open to new opportunities. Do not post your resume. Give a high level overview of your experiences. You want to hook those who are looking and have them ask further questions during an interview.
  5. Be patient – stay the course. This will likely take some time. You truly need to figure out what you want, follow these steps then put yourself out there. Give yourself time and you will find where you indeed belong and desire to be!

Winter Beauty Favorites

Got the winter blues? Feeling like your normal glow has gone into hibernation? Here are some of my beauty favorites that will bring back that sparkle and shine!

Read More Details

1. The Body Shop Coconut Scrub

Who doesn't want to dream of a tropical paradise in the middle of a dreary winter's day? If you can't sail away, then lather away! Not only does this smell like paradise but leaves your skin feeling that way too! I use this year round because it just feels that good!

2. Re’Vive Hand Renewal Cream

Luxurious hand cream with spf 15. Provides brightening agents and all day moisture for smoother hands.

3. Hourglass Ambient Lightning Powder The best travel and everyday companion for touch-ups.  Works well to blur imperfections and diffuse harsh light.  Creates a smooth complexion for that flawless face.

4. Privai Lip Creme Perfection for the lips.  Creates those smooth, nourished lips we all desire in harsh winter months.

5. Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal

This is literally a miracle worker. Well, not exactly but close to it! From weather, to stress, to makeup our skin gets dull from time to time. This is an amazing exfoliator that seriously helps to bring skin back to life! I literally notice an immediate difference every time I use it. It smells amazing as well!

6. Laura Mercier Souffle Body Creme in Almond Coconut or Ambre’ Vanille I have been using this literally for years, more than I can count.  It's ridiculously moisturizing and smells ah-mazing.  It melts right into your skin and I get compliments every single time I am wearing either one.  This is my holy grail of body creams.  Can't live without it.

7. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin

After using quite a bit of bleach last year for balayage, my hair was extremely dry and unhealthy. I had used this product for years and for no reason had just stopped. I have started back on this product and can't recommend it enough. After just three uses, my healthy, shiny hair is coming back! Keeping this in my hair routine permanently!

8. Laura Mercier Honey Bath Who doesn't love a bubble bath, especially in winter right?  Well, that can actually dry your skin out.  Add this to your bath and leave those troubles behind.  Loaded with shea butter and provitamins B5 to moisturize your skin and leave you feeling oh so luxurious.  Again, another fave I can't live without!

9. Natura Bisse’ Oxygen Cream

Simply stated it's like oxygen for your face. This is my holy grail for moisturizer. It's so light and feels like whipped cream on the skin. I can easily breakout and this product never irritates me or causes issues. It truly gives me the moisture and glow needed.

4. J.Crew Nordic Shearling Boots

Comfy, cozy and chic. Every gal needs these to keep those toes toasty during the chilly winter months.

5. Bose Soundsport Wireless Headphones

Once a Bose fan, always a bose fan. I bought these two years ago for the hubby. I loved them so much he returned the favor and bought me a pair. They are the perfect little gym buddy! Get a matching set, a spare for the office, you just can't have enough hah!

6. Bose Quiet Comfort Wireless Headphones

Another favorite from last year that any guy or gal would love. Exceptional sound quality and beyond comfortable. Worth the splurge.

8. Ray-Ban Original Polarized Aviator

A want. A need. A necessity. We all need them and who wouldn't want a classic style that stands the test of time?

9. Guess Double-Breasted Skirted Coat

Dear Beautiful

Life can be hard and will be hard. There are times when things won’t go like you had planned. You will experience set backs, frustrations and at times you will just want to toss your hands up and give up…but don’t. The rain may pour, and the clouds may seem as though they may never clear. Rest assured, that sun will shine again and may be brighter than ever before. That hardship that felt unbearable was in fact for a reason. It will redirect your path and set you in a new, yet better direction. Give it time and you will be stronger, wiser and a much better version of you than you ever were before.

Let me tell you about my new best friend. I am a lipgloss gal tried and true. Though this tube may be small, it's payoff is more than worth it.

Travel, everyday, simply ready-to-go is this beautiful palette full of stunning fall neutrals. Certainly packs a punch with a variety of matte, satin, foil and chrome shadows.

6. Kevyn Aucoin Liquid Illuminator

7. Jo Malone Wood Sage

Simple, sophisticated, clean and chic. An everyday staple. Love layering this with Mimosa and Cardamom body creme.

This powder is divine for simply sweeping on to set the foundation and go. Never cakey and helps to keep the shine at bay! Also love how it feels - like I am not even wearing it!

Jun 03 — Weekend Wrap Up

Weekend Wrap Up

A weekend well spent can certainly bring on a new week of content. Here are some things we did recently and my recommendations for you as well!

  1. Visit an amusement park – We spent a day with family at Carowinds. Let go, be a “kid” and laugh. It’s just good for the soul.
  2. Spend time with family, friends or just some quiet time alone – Go to a park, grab some lunch and just enjoy the company. Or, set aside some time to enjoy a cup of coffee at your favorite spot! Your heart and your mind will thank you for it. I highly recommend Southern Sugar for the Charlotte area!
  3. Use good sunscreen – I am such a fan of Sunbum which you can also see here. Love the feel, the scent and most importantly the protection.
  4. Spa Theology – Spent the day in Asheville NC recently with my mom and took in some spa time. My recommendation is the Ultimate Age Eraser facial, it’s great!
  5. Date night ready dress – This Ramy Brook dress seen here is worth every penny. Quality is impeccable and I’ve worn more times than I can count!
May 28 — Weekend Wrap Up

Weekend Wrap Up

Some weekends are meant to be more low key than others and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, those are just what we all need from time to time. Here is a quick run down of a few things I recommend from what we watched, ate to purchases made!

  1. John Wick Chapter 3 – If you are into action, or Keanu Reeves, then this is a must see. I honestly have never been a fan, for no particular reason, of Reeves until my husband talked me into watching the first two movies in this series a few months ago. I have absolutely loved them and this latest one simply has me hungry for the next. And, I am a huge Keanu fan now. At 54 years of age, he did around 90% of his own stunts in this movie. That deserves mad respect!
  2. Homegoods – You get us every single time. So just a few short weeks ago we found a new rug for our foyer and a faux alligator skin bench for the foot of our bed. Yes, I will definitely share these at some point. This past weekend we found two mirrors for our master bathroom. We’ve been searching for months! You just never know what gems you will find there when you least expect it!
  3. Globody – I shared this on my Instagram recently, but I have now received my second spray tan from Gigi Anemone with Globody. She’s an angel, takes her time to make sure it’s perfect and the product is outstanding. I’m hooked!
  4. OPI Lisbon Wants Moor – My hands down favorite nail color for spring and summer long before it became a big trend!
  5. Blue Diamond Nut Thins – Obsessed with these little snacks! Gluten free and only 90 calories per pack!
  6. Club Pilates – You had me at hello. Ya’ll I can’t say enough amazing things about how Pilates is making me feel and I have only had four sessions. I’ve linked the location I recommend in the Charlotte area. However, they have so many around the country and are currently still offering a free intro class! Try it out, you have nothing to lose!

4. Beautyblender Pro Makeup Sponge Applicator

Whether for foundation or concealer, I love having this sponge handy to blend away and create that flawless look.

5. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

For someone with sensitive and oily skin, having the right primer is a must. This one goes on smooth and doesn't cause irritation. I also love that is soaks right in and doesn't pill up.

Enriched with oils and shea butter creating supple soft skin. Whipped luxury in a jar. It's been a staple for me for many, many years. I've replenished more times that I can count!

7. Nars Blush

Soft and buildable with just the right pop of color. I naturally have pink in my cheeks and this never competes. Simply gives the right colorful glow!

8. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray

Sets everything in place and keeps my makeup fresh with minimal to no touch-ups needed at times. Additionally helps to control shine providing a matte finish.

9. Nars Bronzer

All year glow is exactly what I love about this bronzer. Regardless of the color of foundation throughout the year, this is my go to bronzer. Subtle but buildable for the perfect amount of warmth.

Along with the launch of my new site are new and exciting additions for you all.  One of which will be mini posts to include inspiration and recommendations from daily living, beauty, style, travel and more.  Starting today will be the first mini post called top nine which includes my top nine beauty must-haves for winter.

Read More Details

1. ReVive Renewal Cream Completely worth the splurge.  I have sensitive skin and need more during the winter but have to be so cautious with heavy creams that can cause breakout.  Holy grail of skin cream!

2. Drybar Detox Conditioner Original Scent Cuts down number of washes and tames static when the weather is dry.  And smells fabulous!

3. Privai Calming Aloe Hydrator I honestly love this year round but simply adds an extra boost this time of year when needed most.

4. Aveno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream Perfect for dry skin and absorbs quickly.

5. Privai Lip Creme Perfection for the lips.  Creates those smooth, nourished lips we all desire in harsh winter months.

6. Laura Mercier Souffle Body Creme in Almond Coconut or Ambre’ Vanille I have been using this literally for years, more than I can count.  It's ridiculously moisturizing and smells ah-mazing.  It melts right into your skin and I get compliments every single time I am wearing either one.  This is my holy grail of body creams.  Can't live without it.

7. Oribe Signature Moisture Masque Very hydrating and leaves your hair feeling so soft.  I honestly recommend using it once a week which will certainly last longer.  However, if need it can certainly be used more often.

8. Laura Mercier Honey Bath Who doesn't love a bubble bath, especially in winter right?  Well, that can actually dry your skin out.  Add this to your bath and leave those troubles behind.  Loaded with shea butter and provitamins B5 to moisturize your skin and leave you feeling oh so luxurious.  Again, another fave I can't live without!

9. ReVive Renewal Eye Cream Reduces fine lines and wrinkles while also providing that glow!  I use this morning and night!

Nov 01 — Dear Beautiful

You Are Gorgeous

Along with the Top Nine series for mini posts, I will be a adding letters written to you my readers inspired by experiences that we can all relate to.  Letters of motivation and inspiration that everyone needs to hear and feel.  My hope is that these lift your spirits when needed or simply reinforce what you already know.

Dear Beautiful,

You are beautiful.  From the time you were created, every unique feature about you was designed so that you would be your own beautiful.  From a tiny freckle in the eye, to a deformed collar bone, a short torso or the fact that your hazel eyes change from brown to green.  Darling, you definitely have your own set of features that make you fabulous.  Whether tall or short, petite or full-figured you are absolutely gorgeous.  Those around you do not define your beauty and never will.  That my dear is from your creator and that intent was designed for you to be adored as much as any precious jewel.  You are you and that is nothing short of beautiful.

Happy first day of winter! And three days and a w Happy first day of winter!  And three days and a wake up until Christmas morning!!!

Today was a day of laughter and being with some of the most important people in my life.  That’s what life is all about.

Gifts are amazing and trust me, your girl loves the giving and receiving that the holiday season brings.

But, nothing compares to moments of togetherness.  Gifts will fade.  How others made you feel and the memories made will last a lifetime.

I AM beautiful. How often do you say this about y I AM beautiful.

How often do you say this about yourself?  If we are honest with ourselves, we are probably saying more negative comments throughout the day than positive ones. 

For many years of my life, I’ve been that person.  I focused on my flaws both physically, mentally and spiritually.  I had often told myself I wasn’t good enough.

Lean in, listen carefully…THAT IS A LIE.

There is someone that loves you more than anyone else ever has or ever will.  You were made in his image.  That alone makes you and everything about you BEAUTIFUL.  His name is JESUS.  Once you allow him in your heart, you’ll find peace and love like you’ve never known.  It will not always be easy but it will be worth it.

Join me in declaring what you are.  Put this in the comments, I AM BEAUTIFUL.  And, I want you to say this to yourself each day until you believe it.
