HAPPY DECEMBER Y'ALL!
Who is as excited as I am?!
A couple of weeks ago, I posted this lovely DIY holiday mantel piece to my Insta Story. I got tons of love & people asking me how to make their own... so here we go.
I must mention shout out to Alex Garza for the inspo!
Secondly, this was not done in my apartment but in my best friends beautiful new loft! We had such a fun day filled with coffee, shopping, Chick Fila & creating this master piece.
Grab some your favorite festive drink & have fun while creating this.
Here's mine :)

So this is where it all started, at Michaels. Michael's is the best place. They are always having deals, the price match anything & they have the cutest decor.
1. We laid garland across the mantel. Make sure to spread out the branches!
2. Added LED lights to the garland. You can use any christmas lights but I think LED is better for this because you can just tuck the batter pack behind the garland.
3. This part can be a little difficult & I recommend wire cutters (which we didn't have). Start separating the 'add ins' so that it is easier to place in the garland. I would also suggest laying down a towel or blanket because it tends to get very messy & glittery.
4. Start adding in all of your pieces. This part is so fun because this is where you get to play around and make it your own. Our technique for this was to add the bigger pieces first in certain spots and then incorporate the smaller pieces.
TIP: I think add a can of frost to the garland & pine cones will only make your piece better!
For the falling sides just leave them bare with lights.
& thats it! See it is super easy to make and will be the perfect statement piece for all of your holiday parties.

Grab your morning coffee because today is the day that The Newsette has launched their website! The Newsette is a daily newsletter dedicated to delivering a daily does of positivity. Throughout the hundred of emails that accumulate in my inbox daily I alway make time to read their newsletters. You can subscribe here, you can thank me later.
The Newsette reached out to me to write a review on their newly launched website but all opinions are my own.
I was given the opportunity to view the website about a week ago. My first impression is the site is super cute but super busy! I would love to see more clarity of what is what on the page. It is hard to tell because everything is too scrunched and I think incorporating more white space through the page would help.. I would like to note that the site is totally user friendly.
BUT I think The Newsette page is super cute and has amazing content! I love the blush tones that are carried out through their website & within the content. Speaking of the content it is really fun and trendy. I don't want to give anything away but if you are like me and you love beauty, fashion, cooking receipts (literally the top things I look for in a site) then check them out! I am also all for a brand that encourages women to help & support other women. That is what this brand embodies.
I am loving this article about Danielle Pearson, The Owner of The Newsette featured in the Coveteur! If you have a moment take a second and read up on one the lovely lady who started it all.
Here is one of my favorite articles on the site!

I love watches, I believe that every outfit & look NEEDS a watch to help complete it. I always have a watch on my wrist, not to tell the time but for style & comfort.
I discovered JORD Wood Watches via Instagram and I was instantly intrigued. I thought the watches were so cool, different & have a modern feel. So when JORD reached out to me to help spread the word on their watches, I couldn't be more excited!
Once I received the watch I was stunned by how amazing the packaging is. The box alone is so beautiful. It is obvious that a lot of time and thought was put into creating the packaging. I believe that if a company puts this much time & love into a watch box, you can only imagine how incredible the watch will be.
I chose the Dark Sandalwood & Slate from JORD's Frankie 35 series. I have to say that I love this watch! I love the color of the dark sandalwood with the rose gold details in the face. The 35mm is the fits my wrist perfect!
JORD has a variety of different watches for both men & women to shop. There are so many options that will go great with any look! You can add your very own person touch to any watch by engraving on the back plate of the watch.

"The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time county. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time." -JORD

Guys I have been testing out these three products from Mediterra Natural Skincare for about a week now and I have to say that I am in love. The benefits of the Argan Oil, Pure Rose Toner & Prickly Pear Seed Oil Serum are endless... I'm not kidding! I am in love that the oils come in a dropper packaging. Follow them on Instagram!
I have tried a couple of different types Argan Oil but I truly do love this one.
Out of all the ones I have tried I love this one, it just melts into the skin. It does not leave my skin feeling too oily but it deeply moisturized and leaves my skin glowing! I have recently been struggling with acne and after one week I have seen results. It has reduced acne and service scars from previous break outs.
Not only is this oil great for the skin but it is amazing for the hair. It has helps with split ends, frizziness & leaves hair shinning.
A few other benefits
1. Nighttime moisturizer
2. Stretch marks
3. Razor bumps & burns
4. Lip & nail conditioner
5. Dry feet & heels
6. Eczema
I was excited to try this, I love rose sprays. I currently use the Mario Badescu Rose Water Spray which I love but this is my new favorite. The stray has no parabens & contains 100% natural materials. I added two drops of the argan oil to the spray and I use it every more & night before bed.
A few other benefits
1. Removes make up
2. Helps with dark circles
I have never heard of this oil before, prickly pear is a 'miracle plant' it contains high amounts of Vitamin E, essential fatty acids & antioxidants. So far it is winning me over! I use it on my face and I have noticed a decrease in my pore size and under eye circles. I apply this oil to my face every night after I wash my face & then I spray the Pure Rose Toner all over.
A few other benefits
1. Restores elasticity & brightens the complexion
2. Prevent wrinkles
3. Great for sensitive skin
4. Protection against free radicals
5. Anti-inflammatory oil
6. Slows skin aging
Who says you can't wear white after labor day?!
I love this floral embroidered ruffle dress from Chichwish. This dress would also be super cute paired with a jean or leather jacket and knee high black boots.
