Merry Mani and How I’m Washing My Face

Almost time for merry merry! We took off the end of this week and headed for part one of our family holidays. Trying to unwind, finish projects I have going on at work and take in as much fresh air as possible. It’s in the 50s here! It’s eerie and strange but I won’t complain. Hope you enjoy the last few days before Christmas and take in some R&R. Here are a few reads to catch up on.

Have you guys seen the new Clarisonic ‘luxe’ brush heads? I’ve been trying out the Cashmere Cleanse…very fluffy so far.
